“The Jewish Contribution to Civilization,” a 198-page catalog of creative works of artists and scientists of Jewish origin in the past 2,000 years, has been published in England under the editorship of C.A. stonehill Jr., with a preface by Stefan Zweig.

In the preface, Zeig states: “It is well known that some countries, in order to justify their real programme, the rape of Jewish property, have tried to propagate the belief that the Jewish mentality has always been of a purely destructive nature. Simply and without ostentation, the evidence is here presented to speak for itself, and as book after book and name after name are enumerated, the malicious falsehood of this statement is laid bare.”
