Emma Goldman, veteran anarchist, believes that the Jews should unite in defense against the anti-Jewish tendencies prevailing in many countries, including the United States.
Miss Goldman, on her arrival here last night after a ninety-day tour of the United States, made an interesting declaration of her attitude on Jewish problems which she had previously refused to consider as specifically Jewish in nature.
There is a definite anti-Jewish tendency, Miss Goldman now believes, distinct from feelings of class. In an interview here today she urged the Jews to unite to defend their rights.
In a statement unusual from one of her pronounced beliefs she declared it the duty of every Jew to help the settlement of refugees in Palestine and expressed her gratification that many German Jews had found refuge there.
Many German Jews now exiles from their native land will return to the Reich after the collapse of Hitlerism, she asserted, “because German culture is too strong in their bones.”
