ABSTRACT

Of all the imponderables of recorded time, the Holocaust of our day is the most perplexing. That man, emancipated and enlightened, could, in the fourth decade of the twentieth century, destroy six million innocent people defies all explanation. In what fools of time and circumstance have come to regard as the century of man’s greatest progress, the old, old martyrdom of Israel set in again with fiercer horrors and more scorching shame for its perpetrators than any known in the long roll of history.
