Warm tribute to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency is paid by Dr. Abram Leon Sachar in the preface of his recently published “Sufferance is the Badge,” which relates Jewish history from the Versailles Treaty through the conquest of Poland. The book, published by Alfred A. Knopf, is a sequel to Dr. Sachar’s “A History of the Jews,” and has been accorded an excellent reception by reviewers.
In acknowledging indebtedness to a variety of sources and individuals for aid in preparing his newest book, Dr. Sachar writes in the preface: “My debt to the bulletins of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency will be readily apparent to any well informed reader. For no one can hope to co-ordinate the events of the present with out constant reliance upon this superb service.” Dr. Sachar, formerly a history professor at the University of Illinois, is national director of the B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundations in American Universities.
