A SECOND EGYPT?
“PHARAOH AT THE GATES.” Recalling the ancient Hebrew tradition of Pharaoh standing at the gates of Gehennom through successive ages, asking persecutors of the Jews: “Did ye learn nothing from me?” the Chief Rabbi, Dr. Hertz, addressing the Passover Festival congregation at St. John’s Wood Synagogue, London, commented on the similarity of the events in ancient Egypt with those of Germany. “Tlie services which the Jews rendered the .country are ignored,” he said, “and Herr Hitler is seeking, as the Egyptians did. to make the Jews a helot class. True. Germany stopped .short of condemning Jewish boys to be cast into the river, but what the Germans are doing to the Jewish professional classes is tantamount to a sentence of economic death.”
