The publication of the first in a pamphlet series “Jews and the Post-War World” was announced here today by Maz Gottschalk, director of the Research Institute on Peace and Post-War Problems of the American Jewish Committee. The pamphlet under the title “Jewish Emancipation – a Selection of Documents” was prepared by the historian, Dr. Raphael Mahler.
The pamphlet contains 72 pages of annotated documents with a number of introductions dealing with the spread and development of emancipation throughout the world. Its publication is timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the emancipation of the Jews by the French revolution in 1791. A number of other pamphlets on different subjects are scheduled to appear early next year. The series of pamphlets are edited by Abraham G. Duker.
