N THE legendary time when no Hitler

immigrants from the impoverished Ger-
many founded the German Jewish Club,
It was a club like many others in the
gigantic city of New York, rather in-
significant and unknown—until 1933.
‘Then. an unexpected change took place.
With the persecution of the Jews in Ger-
many by the Nazis, a new wave of im-
migration set in, and the club benefited
by it, Ie became the natural cenfer for
advice and aid for many of these immi-
grants. In that same year when its ex-
pansion Began, the club decided to pub-
lish an informatory paper called Anfbaz,
ot Reconstruction, a title indicating the
task of the refugees: to form out of the
debris of- their broken—existence-a new
life in a new world.

Between 1933 and 1938 the influx of
refugees from Germany was steady, but
rather slow, and the growth of the club
and the paper matched this progress. In
the beginning of 1939 Anfban had a
monthly circulation of about 2,000 cop-
ies. But with the Nazi occupation of
Austria and the November pogrom the
stream of refugees from Germany and
Austria increased considerably and so in-
creased also the membership of the club
and the circulation of Amfban., How-
ever, it would be wrong to attribute the

immigration which came to the U.S, since
1933 has been most successful in adjust-

NEW YORK, Oct, 12, (INS)
‘The invading Allies will find vir~
tually no newspapers in de-Nazified
Germany, the New York refugee
paper “Aufbau” reported in its cur.
rent issue today, * i

in an editorial survey of the sit«

uation, editor in ehiof of this antl«
Nazi, German-language paper
Manfred George, who was formerly,
editor of one of the largest news-!
papel concerns in Berlin, ¢laims
that the Allies “will tind a com-
plete vacuum” “th this important
field. In order to establish contact.
with the population of the con-
quered Reich, he adds, Aled of-
Nicials will have to publish their,
own “information sheets, supplying
additional news ; through radio
broadensts.”

Goebbels’ mammoth-sized propa-
garda press will simply evaporate
with the collapse of the Naz! regime,

‘necording to..George, because "90
per cent of the German papers are
either. party-owned or personal
property of the Nazi bosses."

For instange, the “Bher Verlag,”
largest’ publishing house. in the
Nazi Reich, is owned by _the_party,.
or rather by Hitler himself, who de-
rlyes a colossal Income from thg sale
of the “Bher” products, inchiding

the “‘Voelkische Beobachter.” He,

| also, controls the second largest
publishing -trust, the ‘Deutscher

Verlag,” made up mostly of ex-
propriated newspapers,

Himmler owns’ the “Sehwarzei
“Korps,” Goebbels the “Angriff,”)

| Goering the “Essener Nationalzel-!
tung,” to mention only a few of the,
leading papers of the Nazi Reich,

‘These will naturally. disappear,
but so should the rest of the Ger-
man newspapers, because all of

| them are edited by Nazi journalists
and “not a single reliable German,
newspaperman will be at hand once
the Allies take over,” ‘George as-.
serts,

|. He also warns ‘the Allies of “those|
newspaper people inside Germany
who are going to. approach them
saying that they always belonged to

| the ‘silent opposition.”

Of course, there are quite a num-
ber of democraticeminded : newspa~
permen living in exile In the Allled|
countries, But these exiles, so George
claims, have become outsiders as
they have lost “actual contact with
, What is going on in Germany.”

i Consequently, “during . the finst!
| Years,” the Allies will have to rely:

| chiefly on their own publications!

(within the Reich, George concludes,
“After certain religlous groups or

} unions In different parts of Ger-

many have reorganized and proved
reliable, they could gradually be
wcharged with issuing local German
papers for thelr members,” he said.
‘This would foll any new. effort at|
centralization of the press and would
facilitate the control of the German
papers by the Allles,

How-to treat Germany after the

which splits public opinion in this’
country, ‘The discussion stretches
from a super-Vansittartism’ to an

shades and nuances between these

Russian Language in the Balkans. The tremendous
encouragement given by Marshal Stalin to the newly formed
Orthodox Church alignments in. the Balkans has attracted
considerable attention, ‘It beats:every mark of an attempt:
ata religious conquest of those countries, in the interests of
Russian politics or Russian. nationalism, Little, however, has
been said -about the consolidation~of Russia’s cultural ‘ine
fluence, which appears to be quietly but effectively taking
place behind the curtains in those same secluded lands. The;
New York Jewish journal Aufbau (“Reconstruction”) for,
April 6 carries a story concerning the recent important All:
Slay Congress in Sofia, Bulgaria, where Soviet Russians,
Yugloslavs, ‘pro-Moscow Poles, Czechs, Slovaks and Bul- |

The last, alone, is guilt enough.
As Kahn and Sayers*point out in
their new book, The Plot Against

cannot be split into three segments
—the military, political, and indus-
. It must be treated as a unity,
‘officer, politician, and
industrialist must stand responsible
for all the acts committed by all the
Germans. .
Ws a farce, then, to bedeve Gen.
Nikolaus von Falkenhorst, former
German commander in Norway,
when he says he is glad the Allies

haye liberated Germany from al}

-“system of gangsters” and that it’s
a “national disgrace that we were
unable to liberate ourselves.” He’s
smart, and what he’s doing now is
laying down the line of his defense
if and when he is calied to the bar;

‘This applies also to Field Marshal
Baul Ewald von’ Kleist, Marshals
Kesselring and Rundstedt, and all
the others,

Two of the biggest German in-
dustzialists,.. Fitz Thyssen and
Gustav. Krupp von Bohlen und
Balbach, have also been. taken.

Krupp is titular head of Ger-
many’s greatest arm works, Krupp’s
first “was subsidized by the Pras.
sian state” as ‘far back as 1860. It
always-has had the closest connec-
tions with the. German. General
Staff. As I. F. Stone's story in PM
on Mor, 18, of a secret meeting in
Strasbourg, showed, Krupp’s has
prepared to finance the Nazi Party
‘undergreudd fer a third world war,
Krapp's cannot. be treated as an
ordinary business firm, aad Krupp
mself cannot be treatéd as an
ordinary business man; both were

What A

s|Cermany proper aad those who

chine and both share the guilt in
Germany's crimes.

Thyssen was one of the original
financiérs of Hitler and the Nazis.
He admits it, but he claims that
he broke with Hitler long ago. He
“escaped” from Germany in 1940,
but made hi back. We “lib-
erated” him in Italy, and now that
we've got him, what are we going
to do with him? The one fact alone

that he financed Hitler—makes
him as guilty as Hitler. The man
who hires a killer is a killer in the
eyes of the law.

But while it will be- important
to hound out, arrest and punish
every murderer and thief found jn

may be still hiding in the liberated
countries, the chase will have to
spread into Spain and Argentina—
and even into the grave. Here are
some Nazi ghosts who have already
showed up: ‘

the first issue which came into my hands, it was clear that it had

an individuality quite different from the American, Yiddish, or

, it

Aaglo-Jewish press. A newspaper prepared by and for refug
goon took rank as ome of the best edited journals - and it was more
of a journel than a newspaper - in this country at any rate, com-
pining the Buropeanand the American point of view in a rare blend
of news coverage and interpretation of world events on a cultural
level.

It was the cultural-which interested me most of course,

occupying little spses, it was indeed a ‘ides xiohnies, for ‘in
4t9 columns were mirrored trends and movenents at their very incep~
tion. Hardly an occurrence of humen interest which was-not recorded
“in its pages. The remarkable thing about it is that Aufbau did not
maintain a paid foreign service. ‘The far-flung: ore of cultivated :

and paid for it with his head -- a tribute to the psychologists

In most. newspapers, there is a vast gulf between. the
editors and the readers. When I once chided the editor of a large
Boston newspaoer, whieh vies in circulation with some of the New

"York newspapers for printing daily horoscopes, the. startling reply!
f : :

was "You don't seem to realize that we print our. papers lergely

au editors are aware of the contrary, viz., that

for morons." Auf
their readers are in many cases of the sane calibre as they them-
selves, and in some instances of.a superior intellectual status,

Small. wonder then that ‘we find corrections frequently by pegesrs in... are

distant countries; and usvelly the errata are documented. I. have

often cut out items with stray blts of information from Aufbau for

by members of the Mann family, F. w. Foerster, Emil Ludwig, and
other outstanding writers of our generation -~ a clear indication
that Aufbau is regarded ag a distinguished forua.
In order to include all the material, it was ROGEABEPY 5OF

was ordered of me on a large subject, which ondinen ty would require

a-number of instalments, to be treated within #000 words, I was

baffled. I had never undertaken: anything on so compact a basis,’ While
: never able to quite toe the mark, exceeding the restriction by per-

haps 200 or 300 words, I learned to adapt nyself to. the limitations

and the result wes that although the article lacked comprehensive-

ness and here and there corners had to be cut, there was a pithiness
eEeit it which brought the substance to the fore,: like a. close-up at
a cinema, thus focusing attention upon the central issue. Such re-~
quirements also made: for a quicker tempo, The pedestrian stride, so

ZURUCKGEHE

VON THOMAS MANN

In der deritschen Presse hat der frithere Président der «Deutschen Didhter-Aka-
demic», Walter von Molo, einen offenen Brief an Thomas Mann gerichtet, in dem
er. den Dichter zur Ricckkebr ins Reich anfforderte, Die in Neuyork erscheinende
deutsche Zeitung «Aufbau» warrin der Lage, in ibrer Nummer vom 28, September
die Antwort Thomas Manns auf diese Aufforderung zu veréffentlichen und uns
deren Abdruck in der NSR. freundlichst zu gestatten.

~ Lieber Herr von Molo!’ * St

‘Ich habe Ihnen zu danken fiir einen sehr freundlichen Geburtstags-
gruk, dazu fiir.den Offenen Brief an mich, den Sie der deutschen
Presse tibergaben und der auszugsweise auch in die -amerikanische ge- *
-Jangt ist. Darin’ kommt noch stirker und dringlicher als in dem pri- ~

Ausdruds, ich mdchte nach Deutschland zurtickkcehren und wieder
dort. leben: «zu Rat und Tat». Sie sind nicht der einzige, der diesen
Ruf an mich richtet; das russisch kontrollierte Berliner Radio und das
Organ der vereinigten demokratischen Parteien Deutschlands haben
‘Ghn auch erhoben, wie man mir berichtet, mit der stark aufgetragenen
Begriindung, ich hatte «ein historisches Werk 2u leisten in Deutsch-
jand». : :
Nun mu es mich ja freuen, da& Deutschland mich. wieder haben
will — nicht nur meine Biicher, sondern mich selbst als Mensch und
Person, Aber etwas Beunruhigendes, Bedriickendes haben. diese Ap-
_ pelle doch auch ftir mich, und etwas Unlogisches, sogar Ungerechtes,
nicht Wohltiberlegtes spricht mich daraus an. Sie wissen nur zu gut,

die abenteuerliche Zeit doch auch ihre Anforderungen gestellt hat,
direkt, persdnlich, im Fleische noch viel dazu beitragen kann, die
Menschen,. die Sie so ergreifend Schildern, dort aus ihrer tiefen Ge-
beugtheit aufzurichten, scheint mir recht zweifelhaft. Dies nur neben=

auch die technischen, biirgerlichen, seelischen Schwierigkeiten, die”
meiner «Riickwanderung» entgegenstehen,

Sind diese zwélf Jahre und thre Ergebnisse denn von-der "Tafel zu

Verlustes der gewohnten Lebensbgsis, yon Haus und Land, Biichern,
Andenken und Vermégen, begleitet von klaglichen Aktionen, daheim, --
Ausbootungen, Absagen. Nie vergesse. ich die analphabetische und
mérderische Radio- und Presseherze gegen meinen. Wagner~Aufsatz,.
die man in Miinchen veranstaltete und die mich erst recht begreifen:
lie8, da8 mir dieRiickkehr abgeschnitten sei; das Ringen nach Worten, °
die Versuche, zu schreiben, zu antworten, mich zu erkliren, die
«Briefe in die Nacht», wie René Schickele, einer der vielen dahin-
~————gegangenen Freunde, diese erstickten Monologe nannte. Schwer genug
g war, was dann folgte, das Wanderleben von Land zu Land, die Pag-
sorgen, das Hoteldasein, wahrend die Ohren Klangen von den Schand-
geschichten, die tiglich aus dem vérlorenen, verwilderten; wildfremd
gewordenen Lande heriiberdrangen. Das haben Sie alle, die Sie dem
«charismatischen Fithrer» (entsetzlich, entsetzlich, die betrunkene
Bildung!) ‘Treue schworen und unter Goebbels Kultur betrieben, niche
durchgemacht, Ich vergesse nicht, da Sie. spiiter viel Schlimmeres
durchgemacht haben, dem ich entging; aber das haben Sie nicht ger
kannt: das Herzasthma des Exils, die Entwurzelung, die nervésen
Schrecken der Heimatlosigkeit,

Zuweilen empérte ich mich gegen die Vorteile, deren Ihr Zenosset,
Ich sah darin cine. Verleugnung der Solidaritit, Wenn damals die

Monate ‘Trost und Stirkung fand —- ihn beneidet, weil er angst frei
war; sich beizeiten abgelist hatte mit der nur zu treffenden Begrtin-
dung: «Ein groSes, bedeutendes Volk, die Deutschen, wer leugnet es? %
Das Salz der Exde vielleicht, Aber als politische Nation — unmidglich!
Ich will, ein fiir allemal, mit ihnen als solcher nichts mehr zu tun

Langsam, langsam setzten und ordneten sich dann die Dinge. Erste
Hauslichkeiten fanden:sich, in Frankreich, dann. in der Schweiz, eine
relative Beruhigung, Sefhaftigkeit, Zugehdrigkeit stelle sich aus der
Verlorenheit her, man nahm die aus den Handen gefallene Arbeit, die-
einem schon xerstért hatte scheinen wollen, wieder auf. Die Schweiz,
_-gastlich aus ‘Tradition, aber unter dem Druck bedrohlich michtiger

ralische hinein, lie& verst’indlichsterweise doch immer eine leise Ver-

und auf einmal, in dem riesigen freien Land, war nicht mehr die Rede
yon «Takt», es gab nichts als offene, unverschiichterte,-deklarierte ‘
Freundwilligkeit, freudig, riidchaltlos, untér dem stehenden Motto:
«Thank you, Mr. Hitler!» Ich habe einigen Grund, lieber Herr von
Molo, diesem Lande dankbar zu sein, und Grund, mich ibm dankbar
zu erweisen..

Heute bin’ ich amerikanischer Birger, und lange vor Deutschlands
schrecklicher Niederlage habe ich Offentlich und privat erklart, da&
ich nicht die Absicht hatte, Amerika je wieder den Riicken zu keh:
Meine Kinder, von denen zwei Sdhne noch heute im amerikanischen
Here dienen, sind eingewurzelt in diesem Lande, englisch sprechende
Enkel wachsen um mich auf, Ich selbst, mannigfach yerahkert auch
schon in diesem Boden, da und dort ehrenhalber gebunden, in Wa-
shington an den Hauptuniversitaten der Staaten, die mir ihre Hono-
rary Degrees verlichen, habe ich mir an dieser herrlichen, zukunft-
atmenden Kiiste mein Haus etrichtet, in dessen Schutz ich mein
Lebenswerk zu Ende fihren méchte — teilhaft einer Atmosphire von
Macht, Vernunft, Ueberflu8 und Frieden. Geradeheraus: ich sehe
nicht, warum ich die Vorteile meines seltsamen Loses nicht genieRen
sollte, nachdem ich seine Nachteile bis zur Hefe gelostet, Ich sehe
das namentlich darum nicht, weil ich den Dienst nicht sehe, den ich
dem deutschen Volke leisten — und den ich ihm nicht auch vom

nimmt, sich manches yon jhm gefallen la8t. Aber dann soll man die
Resultate auch anerkennen und nicht das Ganze in ein banales «Kehre

Fern sei mir Selbstgercchtigkeit! Wir draufen hatten gut tugend-
haft sein und Hitlern die Meinung sagen. Ich hebe keinen Stein auf,
gegen niemanden, Ich bin nur scheu und «fremdles, wie man. yon
kleinen Kindern sagt. Ja, Deutschland ist mir in all diesen Jahren
doch recht fremd geworden, Bs ist, das miissen Sie zugeben, ein be=
angstigendes Land, Ich gestehe, da ich mich vor den deutschen Trim
mern fiirchte —- den steinetnen und den menschlichen. Und ich fiirchte,
da® die Verstiindigung zwischen einem, der den Hexensabbat von
aufen erlebte, und Euch, die Ihr mitgetanzt und Herrn Urian auf-
gewartet habt, immerhin schwierig ware. Wie sollte ich unempfindlich
sein gegen die Briefergtisse voll lange verschwiegener Anhiinglichkeit,
diesjetzt aus Deutschland zu mir kommen! Es sind wahre Abenteuer

-_ des Hlerzens-fiir-mich,-ttihrende. Aber nicht nur wird meine Freude

daran etwas eingeengt durch den Gedanken, da8 keiner dayon je
wire geschricben worden, wenn Hitler gesiegt hatte, sondern auch
durch eine gewisse Ahnungslosigkeit, Gefiihllosigkeit, die daraus
spricht, sogar schon durch die naive Unmittelbarkeit des Wieder-
ankniipfens, so, als seien diese zwalf Jahre gar nicht gewesen. Auch
Biicher sind es wohl cinmal, die kommen. Soll ich bekennen, da8-ich
sie nicht gern geschen und bald weggestellt habe? Es mag Aberglaube
sein, aber in meinen Augen sind Bucher, die von 1933 bis 1945 in
Deutschland tiberhaupt gedruckt werden konnten, weniger als wert-
los und nicht gut in die Hand zu nehmen. Ein Geruch von Blut und’
Schande haftet ihnen an; sie sollten alle eingestampft werden,

Es war nicht erlaubt, es war unméglich, «Kultur» zu machen in
Deutschland, wahrend rings um einen herum das geschah, wovon wir
wissen. Es hieB die Verkommenheit beschénigen, das Verbrechen
schmiicken. Zu den Qualen, die wir litten, gehérte der Anblick, wie
deutscher Geist, deutsche Kunst sich bestiindig zum Schild und Vor
spann des absolur Scheusiligen hergaben. Daf cine ehrbarere Be-
schéiftigung denkbar war, als fiir Hitler-Bayreuth Wagner-Deko-
rationen zu entwerfen — sonderbar, es scheint daftiy an jedem Gefiih!
zu feblen, Mit Goebbelsscher Permission nach Ungarn oder sonst
einem deutsch-europdischen Land zu fahren und mit gescheiten Vor-
trigen Kulturpropaganda zu machen fiirs Dritte Reich —~ ich sage
nicht, da8 es schimpflich war, ich sage nur, da® ich es nicht verstehe
und da ich Scheu trage vor manchem ‘Wiedersehen, -

Ein Kapellmeister, der, von Hitler entsandt, in Ziirich, Paris oder

361

: e : :
Budapest Beethoven dirigierte, machte sich einer obszénen Liige schul-
dig — unter dem Vorwande, er sei ein Musiker und mache Musik,
das sei alles. Liige aber vor allem schon war diese Musik axsch zu
Hause. Wie durfte denn Becthovens «Fidelio», diese geboreme Fest
oper fiir den Tag der deutschen Selbstbefreiung, im Deutschland der
zwolf Jahre nicht’ verboten sein? Es war ein Skandal, da& ex nicht
verboten wat, sondern da8 es hochkultivierte Auffiihrungem davon
gab, daf sich Sanger fanden, ihn zu singen, Musiker, ihn zu spielen,
ein Publikum, ihm zu lauschen, Denn welchen Stumpfsinn bweauchte
es, in Himmlers Deutschland den Fidelio zu héren, ohne das Gesicht
mit den Hinden zu bedecken’ und aus dem Saal zu stiirzen!

Die tiefe Neugier und Erregung, mit der ich jede Kunde aus Demusch-
land, mittelbar oder unmittelbar, empfange, die Entschiedenheit, mit
der ich sie jeder Nachricht aus der groRen Welt vorziche, wie-sie: sich
jetzt, sehr kiihl gegen Deutschlands nebensichliches Schicksal, neu
gestaltet, lassen mich taglich aufs neue gewahr werden, welche un-
zerreiRbaren Bande mich denn doch mit dem Lande verkniipfer, das
mich «ausbiirgerter, Ein amerikanischer Weltbiirger ~ ganz gut.
Aber wie verleugnen, da8 meine Wurzeln dort liegen,, da ich srotz
aller fruchtbaren Bewunderung des Fremden in deutscher ‘Tradition
lebe und webe, midge die Zeit meinem Werk auch nicht gestattet
haben, etwas anderes zu sein, als cin morbider und schon halb paro-

doch auf, vom Ende der deutschen Geschichte zu reden! Deutschland

~ ist nicht identisch mit der kurzen und finsteren geschichtlichen Episode,

die Hitlers Namen titigt, Es ist auch nicht identisch mit det selbst
nut kurzen Bismarckschen Aera des Preufisch-Deutschen Reiches, Es
ist nicht einmal identisch mit dem auch nur zwei Jahrhunderte um-
fassenden Abschnitt seiner Geschichte, den man auf den Namen Frie-
drichs des Grofen taufen kann, Es ist im Begriffe, eine neue Gestalt
anzunebmen, in einen neuen Lebenszustand iiberzugehen, der vielleicht
nach den ersten Schmerzen der Wandlung und des Ueberganges mehr
Glick und echte Wiirde verspricht, den eigensten Anlagen und. Be-
diirfnissen der Nation giinstiger sein mag, als der alte.

Ist denn die Weltgeschichte zu Ende? Sie ist sogar in sehr lebhaftem
Gange, und Deutschlands Geschichte ist in ihr beschlossen. Zwar fahre
die Machtpolitik fort, uns drastische Abmahnungen ‘von iibertriebenen
Erwartungen zu erteilen; aber bleibt nicht die Hoffnung bestehen,
da zwangsla
geschehen werden in der Richtung auf einen ‘Weltzustand, in dem
der nationale Individualismus des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts sich
ldsen, ja schlieSlich vergehen wird? Weltékonomie, die Bedeutungs-
minderung politischer Grenzen, eine gewisse Entpolitisierung des
Staatenlebens tiberhaupt, das Erwachen der Menschheit zum BewuSt-
sein ihrer praktischen Einheit, ihr erstes Ins-Auge-Fassen des Welt-
staates -- wie sollte all dieser tiber die biirgerliche Demokratie weit
hinausgehende soziale Humanismus, um den das groke Ringen geht,
dem deutschen Wesen fremd und zuwider sein? In seiner Weltscheu
war inimer so viel Weltverlangen; auf dem Grunde der Rinsamkeit,
die es bdse machte, ist, wer wiiSte es nicht, der Wunsch, zu lieben, der

Wunsch, geliebt- zu sein, Deutschland treibe Diinkel und Ha aus.

ANACCURATE CRITICISM BY SHAMBERG

Gernian ‘language, which Ted to
these misunderstandings, The
term “Hauptmann-Volk” used in
the article does ‘not refer to. the
German. people but to Haupt
mann's characters, to his oppres-
sed proletarian men. and women
who. show his extraordinary cre.
ative imagination, We cannot help
it that once upon a time Haupt-
man was’a great writer although
we often attacked‘in our coluins
his weak ‘and defeatist attitude
during the Nazi regime. However,
it thight suffice ‘to point to the
vbituary by Ludwig Marcuse, pro-
fessor ‘at the University of Cali.
fornia, who wrote in Aufbau that
“Hauptmann wi Germany's
most visible . disgrace.”

Mr, Shamberg has written fre-
quent letters to Aufbau, Some of
them were. published, The fact
‘that his advertisement fora pri-
vate club was refused because we
do not give ads free of charge ta
anyone ‘(Aufbau belongs to the
A.B.C.) is no reason for his at-
tacks, Since the paper ig the of-
ficial organ of German-Jewish im.
migration, with regard to all col-
lections for the United Jewish Ap-
peal, it goes without saying that
ads for the latter organization are
inserted without charge,

in concluding, may I point out
that the. following personalities
are-among the members of. Auf-
bau’s advisory board: Albert
stein, ‘Thomas Mann, Freda Kirch-
way, Congressman Emanuel Cel-
ler and a number of prominent
rabbis, arnong them Leo. Bacck.

“K: D. Shamberg’s letter proves!
that he has learned a lot from Dr.

by tearing apart an article about

Why didn’t he quote out of the
same ‘comment “Und “ausserdem

I still have to see an Anglo-

NADIAN BACKGROUND: ;

‘TH Canadian Jewlsh.Gongress has
doligl a fine piece of work by publish«
ing the History of the Jows in Canada
by Benjamin Goodman Sack... Vol- |
ume I of this important work has just
made its appearance and constitutes |
the first history of the Jows of the}
Dominion ever to appear in book form :
_.. It is @ substantial contribution |
not only to the history of the Jews!
in Canada, but also to the history of}
the Jews in the Western Hemisphere:
«+ + It also casts interesting sidelights
‘on the history of Jews in France and!
in England, since Jews in France had,
a considerable share in shaping the!
destiny of Canada in the days of the’
French regime, and so did the British,
Jews by taking part in the campaign
which eventually established Canadas:
as a momber of the British Common-,
wealth of Nations ... The author, a
well-known writer and the foremost
historian of Canadian Jewry, proves
that Jews were among the early,
settlers when Canada was a French
colony and that they participated in
pioneering exploration and settlement
of the country... He shows that the
Jews of Canada took an active part in,
making the country what it is today

‘so of Canada, the Jews today rang:
from industrial workers to fisherman,
farmers, miners, peddlers, civil serv.)
ants, policemen, and are also well xep:|
resented in art, science, education
commerce and in: professional life ..
‘The role which the Jews played in the’
various patriotic movements in Canada|
is also brought out clearly by! “My,
