ABSTRACT
A part of the Jewish intelligentsia and upper bourgeoisie strenuously attempts to commit national suicide, but the Jewish masses, the Jewish working class, will not yield to the notion that the Jew disappear among foreign nations and alien cultures. The uniqueness of the Jewish tragedy resides in the fact that Jews have no land of their own. Oppression maintains itself as long as the oppressed have not the strength to throw off the yoke and institute a new equilibrium. The moral progress of mankind is nothing more than a result of this bitter struggle for this equilibrium. Whenever might and helplessness meet, oppression will be the inevitable result. Progress is not self-made but must be won, step by step, by the masses. The World War has clearly demonstrated that even the best of mankind will not cease to oppress the weak if the latter comes into conflict with its own interests.
