Open Letter To Oskar Deutsch : IT CANNOT BE RIGHT

Dear Mr. Deutsch,

As President of the IKG, and with the influence that your position brings, I write to ask you to please intervene and support Beth Alexander so that she can be reunited with her sons. It cannot be right that the Austrian courts have barred the boys' mother from having any contact with them. I do not see any evidence that she is a risk to her sons; but you, on the other hand, risk the reputation of the whole Viennese community as this miscarriage of justice is rapidly spreading to become media news around the world.

For the sake of Sammy and Benjy who deserve to have a relationship with their mother, for the sake of your community, and for the sake of our shared Jewish heritage which places such a strong emphasis on justice, please use your power and influence to work with Michael Schlesinger and with the courts to do what is right, and to allow the boys to spend time with their mother - in particular in the lead-up to their b'nei mitzvah.

Please right a terrible wrong - and do so before more weeks and months elapse. Beth and the boys pain have gone on for too long.


Yours sincerely,


Chani Hirsch
