A deputation of the local kehillah headed by Chief Rabbi Spiegel greeted the new Hungarian Primate, Cardinal Seredi, upon his arrival at his residence in Essterhom.
Rabbi Spiegel, who addressed the Cardinal in Hebrew, declared that his predecessor, Cardinal Czernoch, had been beloved by the Jews, who mourned his death. They hoped for similar friendly relations with the new Cardinal, the Rabbi declared.
Cardinal Seredi in reply declared “We must all work together for the welfare of the fatherland; none should be excluded. So far as my powers permit, I shall never allow such exclusion.”
