“Afraid to Speak”
Refugee Jews, the subject of Nazi tyranny, travelled across Canada, and from Vancouver to Auckland, at the same time as the Rev. J. Lawson Robinson, of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Christchurch. Having been practically ordered out of Germany, the refugees were very grieved about things, Mr Robinson said in an interview with The Press, but they could not be persuaded to talk. They described conditions in Germany as terrible, but when pressed for details they would not say anything, as they feared for their relations remaining in Germany. “They were as decent a group of people as you would find anywhere,” said Mr Robinson. “They were sent out of their country, and they do not know what the future holds for them.”
