But let us not fail to honor, the man who created the very public which made the modern Yiddish novel' and drama possible. The story of Shomer's birth, boyhood, marriage, and ris© as a novelist and playwright — a story, more fantastic and thrilling than any tale concocted by him —.is told by his daughter with surpasssmg brilliance. She ends with a powerful defense., of her father against his critics and detractors. It the book contained only this chapter, it would still be worth its price. Mrs. Zunser's memoirs cover a period of more than, a hundred j ears, from 1S34, the year of the "Panic" (not a financial crisis, be it understood) in Russian Jew5 ry to the present in the United States. This is perhaps the most e/entful and fateful period in our history.

went Ms awa way and solved' independently all the three problems which constitute tha foundation of the modern automobile. They are:

Dictatorships, through their : denial cf personal sisd civil liberties, have cpened the eyes of those in • comitries of Ireeflon, to tite grave necessity of preserving • God-coBs&onsness witbia the community. Sir. • Weil, president «J the Young lien's Hebrew Association, in Ms coastaat association with yoath and its problems, aptly describes tha .responsibility of the coismisaity ia maistalniHS a fEJadasiesital principle of <le» aiocracy.—The Editor. "Ill fares the land to hastening ills a prey, where wealth accumulates and men decay." So spoke the poet 200 years ago; thus have spoken men of faith for 4,000 years. So it is necessary still to speak today, for despite the antiquity of religious education and its general acceptance as a necessity for the young throughout many centuries, there are still those vcho raise their voice to question its -worth and there are present today in the world greater forces than in many centuries which are antagonistic to religious education as a community need. It is commonly recognized that the dictatorship countries of the •world are hostile to established religion. It is not generally understood what ths true basis of this antagonism is. Religion teaches ethical standards, and the recognition ot what is right and wrong. The religions person is taught to observe the good and the Tight, "and shun the bad and the wrong, tvoatever influences may be brought to bear upon him. In the dictatorship countries the only right is the right which the dictator wishes; the only wrong is opposition to Ms wishes. The right and wrong of religious ethics have no necessary relation whatsoever with the right and wrong of the dictator's will. Since there is room. for but one will, whatever is not consistent with that will must give way. Religion's Role Throughtout history g r e a t prophets have arisen in criticism of and attack upon their kings and rulers for unethical conduct and for wrongdoing. "Wliile on many occasions the prophets have, suffered for daring to be outspoken, in many cases they have prevailed and in the judgment of history they have almost invariably been vindicated. Modern dictatorship, recognizing the risk of denunciation by religious leaders, of necessity opposes religious education. The greatest danger to established religion and to democratic ideals lies in the fact that in the dictatorship countries there are growing up new generations •which have aever had the bene-

fit of religious education and which have had inculcated in them only the ideals and philosophies of the dictator. Religion and the right freely to worship one's own God" as'one wishes are inseparable from the principles of democracy. A community which fails to sive adequate support to religious education is a community deficient in democracy which may easily become the spoil of oppression, bigotry, and the denial of freedom. The greatest community leaders throughout history have been men and women sustained by religious faith and the religious conviction. The teachings of religion are not negative. They embody positive virtues. They are not empty solace but rather sound and formidable convictions of courage and faith. A community learned in Teligious education and the teachings and heritage of established religion is a community well-armed to preserve, protect and defend moral and ethical standards and to safeguard the privileges of liberty and democracy. Bight of ChHd Every child, whether Jew or Christian, whether Catholic, or Protestant, is entitled to receive as part of his education, -which enables him to take bis place in the community, the basis and foundation of the religions heritage which is hi3 right. He is entitled to know the significance of the faith into which he has been born, and the glorious history and contributions to the advance of civilization of his religion. Prom this knowledge he will derive faith, strength and courage, tolerance and understanding, and the recognition of the universality of righteousness common to all faiths. "Righteousness exalteth a nation" say the Proverbs, and they also say "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it." The child of today, well-grounded in religious education will become the upright citizen of tomorrow, eager to maintain civic virtue and combat corruption whenever he may find it. Faith Needed There aTe many puzzling questions confronting the youth of today; there are many economic maladjustments which cause trnhappiness and dissatisfaction. The youth who has had no religions education is like a ship trithont a rudder, buffeted hither and thither by any furies -which may assail him. The youth fortified with religious faith has a courage and understanding which enables him to face problems and solve them for

is no vision, the people perish."" The day of the prophets la notpast. They are needed BO-KV more than ever, to speak in stentorian tones the positive values ' of re-' ligious concepts and standards. The Priests, the Ministers and the Rabbis of religion today are confronted with a more challenging opportunity than ever to emulate the prophets of old. They must be given the opportunity to preach to the youth o£ which nations have risen to today the standards of right aod •wrong, of morals and ethics, upon greatness throughout time, and without which they have decayed.

No less than 48 vocations are listed including butchers, shoemakers, upholsterers, horse dealers, wheelwrights, locksmiths, blacksmiths, glasiers, lamplighters, stone cutters, gunpowder makers, physicians, hatters, furriers, diamond b u t t e r s , silversmiths and musicians; and what is even more remarkable is the fact that the Judenstaadt had a Jewish fire department which stirred both admiration and envy. Crusades In the Twelfth and Thirteenth centuries the Jews of Bohemia did not escape the bloody onslaught of the Crusades nor did they escape the ravages of antiSemitism which. manifested themselves in wholesale imprisonment, massacre, plundering and expulsion. Yet all of thesa were not the dominant influences in the development of the Jews of that country who contributed to Jewish learning a roster of great minds and scholars. In the Prague Rathaus there is a statue of Rabbi Judah Loew, creator of the Golem. In 1620 we find another record of the Jews being rewarded for heroism.

Distributors of Under the republic the Jews were recognized as a national minority, not merely as a religious group. Although they were granted the right to profess Jewish nationality, a little more than half welcomed this form of self determination. In 1930 the records indicated that out of a total Jewish population of 356,000, 204,427 declared themselves to ba of the Jewish nationality, 87,489 professed to be. known as Czechoslovaks, 45,372 as Hungarians and the rest as members of other Available at nationalities. Jewish Party Your Dealers In accordance with their full nationalistic rights the Jews established a Jewish Party to represent the interests of the Jewish community in Parliament. .But in Tiew of the fact that Jewish nationalist sentiment had only a minority following in all sections except Slovakia and .CarpatheRutheuia the new Jewish Party failed to become an important factor. Never did the Jews take their freedom for granted or regard it lightly. Their loyalty to the demoeratic republic of Czecho - S l o vakia was dramatically in evidence during the September crisis when they contributed generously to the defense fund. With tha destruction of the Jewish community of Austria still fresa in their memory, the Jews in Czechoslovakia had little to hope for in a land dominated by the Nazis. They gave money and their best young men came forward to join the army of defense during the fateful days when the liberty of this small nation, hung ia the balance.

there was never any active discrimination directed against them. Tie result cf this equality was seen la outstanding contributions made to the life and progress of the country by Jewish citizens, and a degree of loyalty to the democratic government not exceeded by any other element in the nation. Following the Munich Pact of last September, there arose in the press of Prague, and more particularly in the Slovak press of Bratislava, a decree of antiJewish agitation which foretold increased Nazi infiltration into domestic affairs of Gzecho-Slovakia. The transformation from liberal and tolerant policies into anti-Semitic propaganda was too sudden after the fateful days of September to indicate that t h e Czechs as a people had become rabid Jew baiters overnight. The infiltration of G e r m a n propaganda into the western half of Czecho-Slovakia failed to make much headway in the face of the reasonableness and the solidity for which the Czechs are noted. In Slovakia, however, even before the final dismemberment of the Republic by Germany, antiJewish measures were introduced and r i o t s against Jewish merchants became frequent. The culmination of the tragedy for the Jews of the partitioned country came with German occupation, which presaged not alone agitation in the press and sporatic rioting by mobs, but an organized campaign of expulsion from the economic life of the country paralleling the lightning-swift drive in Vienna a year ago. Stains Today In the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia, there are today 95,000 Jews who have been deprived of the means of livelihood by the stern application of the Nuremberg racial laws. In Slovakia there are an additional 90,000, and in Carpatho-Ukraine, which comes under the stringent antiJewish legislation of Hungary, there are 65,000 more. The ranks of these unfortunates are swelled by 6,000 refugees who fled into Czecho-Slovakia • as Nazi rule overwhelmed Germany and then Austria, and by 14,000 more who were driven eastward out of Sudetenland after the Pact of Munich. The misery of these hundreds 01 thousands of people cannot be gauged simply by reference to their situation alone. The continent of E u r o p e is already choked with many thousands of refugees who have come out of Germany during the past sis years. The pressure for • emigration out of Germany grows more intense with each day, and the nearly 300,000 affected "by Nazi "protectorates" a n d Hungarian occupation can he considered only as part of the larger problem of 80,000 Jews now living within the confines of the Third Reich. Nor does even this appalling total of men, women and children cast out of normal peaceful esistence and forced to -E.ahsist-.apon meager relief, complete the'.ltale. There are in addition many hundreds of thousands more in Greater Germany c l a s s e d as nonAryans, who also come within the scope of the Nuretnber decrees and who share the fate of those who remain, professing Jews. Proud Spirits It w o u l d be heartrending enough to consider the depth of human suffering which German occupation has meant to citizens up until now living a normal, productive life. Imagine then new sorrows a w a i t i n g hundreds stranded in No Man's Land on the former Czecho - Slovakian frontiers, which are frontiers no longer. Swallowed up into German territory, they now come under the sway of a government which once threw them out. After months of existence in tents and in miserable huts, hoping vainly, that they might be rescued and allowed to emigrate, they now find themselves in a plight worse than they could ever have imagined. They can expect no mercy from a government which sees their continued presence within its borders an open invitation to new outrages. Cut down but not uprooted is the freedom and proud spirit of the Jews of Czecho-Slovakia. Now they must l i v e in darkness, hounded and oppressed. Pogroms and decrees choke off.every avenue of life. But even in their deepest misery the Czech Jews, like the Czechs themselves, a r e buoyed up by the faith and-courage that defied all efforts tD suppress and destroy them. And so today the Czech Jews have been added to the tens of thousands of homeless and needy that look anxiously across the seas for rehabilitation and resettlement assistance. A new era will come and the pendulum will swing back to freedom in Central Europe. All we have to do is help them survive during the period cf Europe's bondage to one man.
