                      TRIBUTE TO JOSEPH ROSENBERG

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHRISTOPHER SHAYS

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 8, 1997

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Joseph Rosenberg of 
Bridgeport, CT, as he celebrates 50 years of living in the United 
States.
  For nearly a half-century Joseph has been an outstanding American 
citizen and role model for his peers.
  As a survivor of several World War II Nazi concentration camps 
including Auschwitz, he is a living testament of courage, bravery, and 
the desire for freedom.
  Upon Joseph's arrival in the United States, he joined the Army and 
served his new country proudly. We are deeply grateful for his 
contributions to the Bridgeport community and our Nation.
  We should all be proud to have a fellow American as patriotic as 
Joseph Rosenberg. As he often says, ``There is no place like the United 
States. People don't know what freedom really is. It's great.''
