Yes, and then he made it to Hungary, which at that time was safe.
He didn't<br>
need rescuing from there. Nobody knew that it would not continue to
be safe.<br>
The speech we're discussing shows that he didn't know it was soon going
to<br>
become dangerous.</font></blockquote><br>
This is simply not true. Since he was a Polish citizen in
Hungary, he was in grave danger. He could not rely on the
protection of the Hungarian government which was not completely
controlled by the Nazis at this time. The Nazis had a strong
presence in Hungary before they took over and they were looking for Jews
who were not Hungarian citizens to deport.<br><br>
Read the books about his escape from Hungary.<br><br>
