The Jewish communities in Europe are changing the leadership: Vienna is the last new-comer.
Only a couple of minutes before I've read the following story about the fate of Jews from Vienna during the hard times of the WWII, in another testimony about the brave Soviet Jews: The Jews of Hope, by Martin Gilbert.
The story was told to Gilbert by a Jew from Bielorussia, Lev Ovsishcher (pp. 57-58):
"He tells me that when the Jews from Vienna were brought to Minsk in 1941, believing that they were coming to work, the local Jews said, starkly, "You are brought here to be killed". The Jews from Vienna, Ovsishcher recounts, 'became alarmed and excited. The Germans brought up a carriage of water. Everyone was so thirsty they began to drink. After drinking the water they became calm. The water contained a bromide. Shortly afterwards they were killed. No survivors were left. Nobody knows their surnames'". (May the names of these criminals be erased for ever)
