The Jews of Vienna live in an indescribable state of misery and terror, Anne O’Hare McCormick declares in an article in the New York Times Magazine. The correspondent describes the Jew as “an outcast in his own city, dispossessed, debarred from work, slinking through the streets like a frightened animal, completely at the mercy of official hate.” More than 125,000 visa applications are on file with the American Consulate, the writer states, and 7,000 is the top quota for the district.
