The Allied Countries and the Jews

These collected addresses offer concise surveys of the relations between Jewish communities and the countries allied in the World War, tracing historical presence, civic contributions, and patterns of discrimination and emancipation. They consider spiritual resilience, cultural and intellectual achievements, and the patriotic service of Jews in wartime, while assessing national attitudes toward Jewish equality in France, England, Russia, Italy, Palestine, and America. The speaker links the advance of democracy with improvements in Jewish condition and argues that political reform and social justice are the surest guarantees of security and integration. The tone is broadly hopeful yet realistic about ongoing dangers where reaction or chaos persist.
