FINDS GERMANS JEALOUS
Dr. Nurnberg, speaking to various srcmps, stresses “The Disaster in Germany and Its Reflection on J WorH Jewry”. In his speeches, he gptnts. out that the action of the Hit-Bbrites in burning the books of Dr. Albert Einstein, original proponent o5 the theory of relativity, indicates steer jealousy.
“These Germans could not see”, he ppinted’ out, “that Albert Einstein, She Jew, should be acclaimed as the gpeatest man in the world. But their attempt is foolish and futile. They may destroy the papers but not the creative thoughts of his mind.
But why speak aoout ucrmanyr be went on. “Why not mention all Ae places in the world during the Aspersion of the Jews? What has kappened in Spain? Didn’t we have snprcroe judges, secretaries of war and finance and even bishops and popes- in whose veins Jewish blood was- streaming? Did that fact prevent Torque ma da from torturing and ???nntnating:the Jews? But he at least was more humane than Hitler. Conversion then to Catholicism saved you. Hitler wants the absolute de-strtictLon of the Jewish race and even Christianity was not good enough for him because Jesus of Nazareth was a lew.
WHAT PRICE ENDEAVOR?
“And what happened in Russia, in Rmunania,. Hungary and Poland, where Jews, were wandering the last 2,000 years. Why is it that we are persecuted’ and’ hated”, despite the fact tat???we have contributed in every field of human endeavor? Vhy are we persecuted when we have given Ac world a Spinoza, a Freud, an Ehrlich, an Einstein?
Wny and wny, but the only sulution left for the precarious condition of the Jewish people in the world today is a Jewish National Home-brHj ia Palestine.”
