"We cannot deny that there are still traces of anti-Semitism in Austria," Austrian Deputy Prime Minister Rudolf Haeuser said today in an interview. Touching on the resignation of former Liberal Party member Hans Klement, who stressed his "unconscious anti-Semitism" in an interview published in the Austrian magazine, "Profile," three weeks ago, Haeuser said, "This affair is over, but anti-Semitism still lives."
"It is impossible to say anti-Semitism would be the attitude of an important part of Austrian politicians," Haeuser added. "Yet, traces of anti-Semitism laid at the beginning of the 20th century in the old Hapsburg Empire still exist." Klement, a leading member of the Liberal Party’s Viennese section, resigned after rebukes by party leader Friedrich Peter and Viennese party chairman, Tassilo Broesigke.
Jerusalem’s future public transportation system may include a system which combines the advantages of railways and traincars with those of buses, known as the Personal Rapid Transit. The PRT systems employ cars holding from six to 20 passengers which move along fixed concrete roadways. These roadways are quite narrow and stations can be built into apartment houses or public buildings.
