Description
   The title page is in Hebrew, two of the following pages are in Yiddish and the final page is in Hungarian.

An open letter entitled "Hear O Israel" from the "Committee of Hungarian Survivors". It is an anti-Zionist pamphlet which states the while this committee of the survivors from Hungary represents people who want to go to Erez Israel, they want to go because Moshiah [the Messiah] has come, and not because of the Zionists. They do not want to march to the tune of Hatikva, rather to the song of Shiru LaShem (a psalm – sing to the L-rd a new song...and Hashem walks in fromt of you …")
