1st edition, original wrappers, 12mo. 7 pages. 15 cm. On the 1-year anniversary of the uprising, Rabbi Hertz discusses the world’s reaction, asking, “What has been--we wonder--the reaction in Allied lands to this stark Satanism? ” He praises church leaders among the few who were vigorous in their protests, answering rhetorically, stating, “Well the Press--with few honourable exceptions--passed it over in silence; and the larger public has thus remained unmoved by this mass crucifixion of a whole people. Only men and women of light and leading realised that Nazism was a maniacal assault on all the ethical foundations of society--pity, decency, and respect for life; an attempt to make a clean sweep of the sacred Heritage of Man. Foremost among them were the Heads of the Churches, with their passionate plea that, as the crimes were unheard-of, unheard-of measures were called for to stop them. ” (page 6) . The author, Joseph Herman Hertz (1872-1946, London) , was “chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth and author of books on Judaism and of influential commentaries on the Bible expressing a fundamentalist viewpoint....Hertz was elected to his post as chief rabbi in England in 1913. His career in that position was a colourful one. He attacked the newly formed Liberal Jewish movement (a movement more or less equivalent to U. S. Reform Judaism) . His powerful attacks on anti-Semitism included one, in the presence of the Russian ambassador, against Russian discrimination. ” (Britannica.com 2018) SUBJECT(S) : Jewish sermons, English -- Great Britain.
