I supposed that the man on the other side of her, the one with the dark beard, was her husband, and I asked the man by my side about it, but he did not know Several speakers made brief addresses of welcome. One of these spoke in Yiddish and one in English, so I understood them. They dealt with the revolution and the anti-Semitic atrocities, and paid glowing tributes to the new-comers.
Precisely how these discriminations are to be made may be open to doubt, but that they must be made is once the anti-Semitic position is taken beyond all doubt.
