Abstract
It was on the evening of the tenth day—August 21, 1934—that Courant and his party first saw lights in the distance. Early the next morning they hurried out on deck with the other passengers, several of them L.] also refugees. The day was already sweltering by European standards. Out of a bright morning haze the famous skyscrapers emerged like a range of great mountains. As the Stuttgart steamed slowly into New York harbor, a little boy—also a Jewish refugee—greeted “Tante Liberty” with a sweetness and sincerity that touched them all.
