JUDAICA History –

” This is a brilliant analysis of the anti-semite–historical, European, and American” (fron the jacket).

Skimming through the history of the Jews, Mr. Hecht finds that the Jew is not the cause of anti-Semitism but its victim; he explains that it has never mattered whether the Jew tried to make himself into a likeness pleasing to the non-Jew; it mattered not whether the Jew was rich or poor, quiet-mannered or noisy, radical or conservative: anti-Semitism always seemed to flourish.
Writing in 1943, Hecht cries out for the three million Jews already killed by “ordinary Germans.” Called “the most influential writer in the history of American movies,” Hecht was shunned both by Hollywood and by most of American Jewry for his stand on saving Europe’s Jews.
