BOOK NOOK

By DR. THEODORE N. LEWIS Rabbi, Progressive Synagogue, Brooklyn, N. Y.

COLD POGROM BY MAX L. MERGES—JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY, PHILADELPHIA .The first reaction towards this book is ''Well, another book on the Jews in Nazi Germany.' As soon as one gets started, however, this reaction gives way to sustained interest and appreciation.

The unique feature of the book is not the story, but the manner in which it is told and the fidelity with which the author adheres to his purpose. He never deviates from his primary aim to describe the fate and destruction which befell the Selig family at the hands of the Nazis, and the indifference of the family to the oncoming storm.

- We grow deeply concerned in the fate of Mr. Selig, his wife, their two children, Detlev and Ruth, his brother-in-law, Dr. Hugo Reiss and in his non-Jewish wife who goes to a concentration Camp, after protesting the insult which drove her famous barrister-husband to suicide. This bare narrative, related with subdued indignation, gives the book a truly moving pathos.

What happens to the Selig family and their two children? Father and mother are displeased jrith their son, Detlev, because of bis affiliation with the Social Democrats, who openly oppose the Nazis. The parents belong to the • middle class, and share the prejudices and follies of this group. > They are typical of ninety per cent of the Jews who, according to the author, should have enthusiastically accepted the creed and the regimentation of National Socialism had, the Nazis permitted them to do so. What a serious reflection upon the German Jews! And, alas, how quite true.

The first victim of the Nazis is Detlev, who escapes from Germany while attending a Social Democratic meeting on the very night Hitler becomes Chancellor.

His escape leads to the arrest of his sister, Ruth, who is detained In the hope of extracting from her the truth concerning the whereabouts of her brother, now wanted for the murder of a prominent Nazi, a murder of which he was not guilty.

The vicious boycott of the Jews inaugurated and pushed to fanatic extremes leads to the dissolution of Selig's business partnership with Captain Schmiat, an Aryan, under whom he fought in the great war. Grief over the death of their beloved Ruth, fear of insecurity, remorse and humiliation drive the Seligs to suicide, as the only way out.

Selig's brother-in-law, Dr. Hugo Reiss, a prominent attorney who protests the prostitution of justice in his beloved Germany where "He and crime have been Installed in place of justce and truth is sentenced to serve nine months, to escape which he commits suicide. Thus ends one Jewish family in Nazi Germany, typical of the cruel destruction of thousands.

Introductions Each of three parts of the book is briefly introduced with a preface from the author now in exile, in Shanghai. The first part is a description of Germany immediately prior to Nazi revolt. It depicts the complacency with which the German Jews viewed the com' Ing storm, and how they foolishly disregarded every warning, and refused to aid the opposition forces, with whom they were instinctively at odds.

It is quite probable that the reason for the failure of the leading and powerful Jews in Germany to oppose aggressively Nazism was due to their deep sympathy with the reactionary aims of Nazism and to their dread of Communism. . This profound and even subconscious psychological conditioning was not the only factor which Inhibited the Jews from fighting bravely their enemies. Their loyalty to Germany misled them.

Rebuke to German Jews - In his opening introduction which every Jew can read with enormous profit, the author directs a strong rebuke to the German Jews who were "too much German and not enough Jewish."

JThe introductory pages to each part were written, in blood and agony, and have that? illusive quality ot the prophetic about them.

When Hitler became Chancellor the Jews, the author, main-

tains, should _have done something dramatic as a community to symbolize their courage and determination to fight their enemies, and, if need be, to die like men, not like rats. They could have left Germany In a body. A selfimposed exodus, organized and disciplined would have moved the world and shocked German people. It would have been a gesture of defiance and resistance.

One thing only can be Bald In extenuation of the Jews; they were indistinguishable from, and as contemptible in their scorn as, the Germans. The Nazi rule stamps the German people as a nation, not of barbarians, but rather a nation of shameless and revolting cowards.

Where were the big and the mighty of the army, church, industry, the universities and government who sould have risen to challenge Hitler and his gangster rule? Not one authentic and revered voice in the entire land spoke out against the regime of crime and mendacity which Hitler inaugurated. This Is the shame of Germany, a shame which will require centuries to eradicate, and I question if time will ever purify the land of the filth and injustice and crime which have soaked and polluted both the soil and the soul of Germany.

Superbly correct is the author that "We Jews should have mounted the barricades. Far better to die protecting the things we love than to live out our miserable lives In contempt amid debasement and falsehood." (Page 170). For the German people this proclamation is even more stinging. Their sin and shame of submitting to a bloody tyrant without a battle will remain a permanent record of their slave character and servile mentality. - .

Shame of Times One of the psychological consequences of Nazi propaganda Is the unconscious acceptance, upon the part of the Jew, of Nazi derision and abuse as truth. Many foolish Jews, confused, and outraged by their misery are MamIng their own people for Invisible and non-existent faults, instead of their, enemies. The author's response to this attitude deserves a prominent place in the heart of every Jew. "I am not ashamed to be a Jew because there are anti-Semites.

To .be a Christian and a German Is the true shame in a time like this.' These simple, true and moving words should sink into the heart' of every Jew and will give healing balm and reassuring faith.

Lust Character The real trouble with the German Jews as with the Christians of the middle classes is.that they have lost character. "Whoever is sunk in comfort soon loses character—if he had any to begin with" the author observes keenly and correctly. This serious loss of character has become the universal affliction of our age and Is the ultimate cause of the enormous catastrophe which has engulfed our civilization. The German Jews were ordinary folk bent upon comfort, security and especially the preservation of the status quo. And it is exactly this which ruined them. Their enemies seeking to defeat social change and reform used them as scapegoats, loaded them with responsibility for the economic dislocation of the capitalistic system and confused the masses so as to prevent, them from discovering the real cause of their misery. • Though a simple book, it will be read I am sure with much profit.

Mr. President: I am moved to suggest the recording of the community's gratitude, for long continued and outstanding service, to our friend and co-worker, HARRY WOLF. It is not unusual to appraise the' works of men who have gone, but it is a mark of rare distinction to recognize and appraise the contribution of one, who will continue as our friend, associate and co-worker. Such distinction could follow only an extraordinary record of achievement. .

Fifteen year of service as Chairman of the Free Loan Society,—ten years ot service as Chairman of the Budget Committee of the Jewish Philanthropies,—thirty years of continuous and uninterrupted activity in local, national and overseas causes, in every phase of work vital to the Interest of the Jewish community, constitute a record without precedent in the history of our community. . • My. dear Harry, your sympathetic understanding of the problems of your fellowmen, your broad intellectual background, your resourcefulness and ingenuity, placed at the disposal ot the community; your seal and devotion to the public weal and your selfless consecration to public service, have won our affection and esteem, and have been a source of inspiration to us, your colleagues and co-workers.

You will not deny us, therefore the privilege of making our feelings known to you, You will permit us to express the hope that we may have the benefit ot your wise counsel, deep Interest and invaluable efforts, for many years to come.

Dr. Philip Sher*s Address of Presentation Mr. President, Honored Leader; communal workers and pillars of our. Jewish Community: We, the committee, thought that words alone, no matter how beautiful and sincerely they may be delivered, are not enough to express the appreciation to a man who has rendered such valuable services to our community tot nearly thirty-five years; so we decided to present to our honored leader, as a token of gratitude, a cane, which is a.symbol In our Jewish History.

When the Lord delegated Our Great Leader Moses to deliver the Jews from Egypt, He said: "Thou shall take the cane In your hand and perform the signs,", and when the Jewish people were In distress, at the time when they were pursued by the Egyptian army, and the Red Sea was in front of them, the Lord told Moses "Lift thy cane and stretch your band, and divide the sea."

I can cite many more events when the Lord told Moses to use the cane; but I don't want to take up too much of your time so I will say to our Honored Leader that after a day's work, please relax and glance at the cane and read the inscription: "A grateful Jewish Community to a faithful leader" and- the same words are also engraved in every heart of your co-workers.

Dear friend, Harry Wolf, take this cane in your hand and let that be a great inspiration to you.to continue your valuable service to our community for another thirty years.

NEW JJ.G. OFFICE IN BRUSSELS E «

CONWJEST TAXES GERMAN ECONOMY New York (WNS)—Quoting a reliable German observer as saying that "the blows dealt by the German Army and air force to Poland last Fall were so crushing that the conquered Polish territories will be a liability to German economy at least until 1941,'' a United ress dispatch from Berlin confirmed reports that many Polish Jewish shops, businesses and factories were damaged during the war and that many others had been confiscated by Nazi authorities.

According to the dispatch, the newspaper Voelklscher Beobachter, commenting on the attitude of the Poles, reported that Polish peasants generally were not hampering the army of occupation but that "educated" Poles in towns and cities "for the time being hate the Germans and their hatred glows In their eyes."

(Continued from page 1.) by the German authorities in evattempt to get American relief administrators into the occupied territory and that it had ceased, at least temporarily, in its attempts to provide relief within Poland.

"We will not send supplies into Poland," he said, "unless we feel that the Jews will not be deprived of their share. We have promises, but we cannot send American-purchased goods Into there unless the distribution Is supervised by Americans."

Pickett said that some cod liv>r oil had been sent to Warsaw to be distributed among children

by Polish-American residents of that city. The future of distribution on a large scale remains uncertain until the Germans agree to allow American supervisors nto Poland, he added.

The Quaker leader visited the president, together with repre-. sentatives of the Dunkers and Mennonites, which three faiths are considered the traditional "religions of peace," to discuss peace plan's and European relief matters.

Skeptical of Aid Paris (TJA)—Leaders of Jewish relief organizations here, expressing • skepticism over the chances of Jews' receiving any part of American relief in Poland if it is distributed through the German Red Cross, pointed out that the leader of the German Red Cross recently broadcast a speech which contained a racial attack on the Jews.

WEIZMANN TO U, S. AID PALESTINE (Continued from page 1.) tral and Eastern Europe there has been added to the hardships and devastation of war, the onslaught of a merciless anti-Semitism which has immeasurably aggravated the plight of large numbers of defenseless men, women and children.

"My mission to the United States at this time has for its chief purpose the enlistment of American Jewry's united support for the continued development of Palestine as a haven for tens of thousands of Jews who have been uprooted and driven from their homes by the overwhelming ware of destruction now sweeping over Central Europe." "The tragedy of these Jews, faced in large part with the alternatives of expulsion or extinction, is heightened by the fact that no new doors have been opened to the homeless and no new territories have been found to receive them. For nearly all of them, hope is concentrated on the possibility of finding anchorage and new opportunity In Palestine, which in its turn Is prepared to meet the task of providing new homes for many thousands of refugees, if adequate resources ar« • made available for a comprehensive program of immigration and settlement.

"While Palestine's economy has felt the repercussions of the war in Europe, our colonization and Immigration activities continue undiminished and thousands of Jews have arrived on our shores since the outbreak of hostilities.

In the past year Palestine ab-' sorbed more than 30,000 Jews from Germany, Poland, Austria, Czecho-Slovakla and other lands.

This brought to a total of 225,000 the number of Jews who have found a permanent home in Palestine since 1933.

"This large Influx of refugees is being absorbed by the systematic development of agriculture and industry and the constantly broadening economic possibilities of the country. This, together with an extension of the frontier of Jewish settlement to outlying districts of the country, hitherto de-' relict, has materially increased tho absorptive capacity of Palestine.' • "There is room in Palestine for the immediate absorption of many tens of thousands of Jews who must emigrate overseas to rebuild their lives. But the war, which has so greatly added to tho problem; of Jewish homelessness, has at the same time compelled a number of Jewish communities to withdraw from active participation in a program of Jewish refugee settlement. So much greater, inevitaly, becomes t h e responsibility which will devolve upon the Jews of tho United States in 1940. It is my earnest hope that American Jewry, which has supported Palestine rebuilding with understanding and sympathy in the past, will recognize the unparalleled opportunities for a solution of the Jewish problem which lie In the further reconstruction of the Jewish homeland."
