HOPES OF JEWRY PINNED ON BRITAIN
(British Official Wireless) (Received 26. 12.45 p.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 25. Dr. Hertz, Chief Rabbi of Britain, in a Jewish New Year message, declares: “A spirit of ardent faith and unconquerable hope animates the souls of men and women in this country in the stand against the heathen age of Nazi rulers. Britain is fighting for her very existence, and on her triumphant victory over totalitarian barbarism depends the whole cause of human freedom.” The House of Israel, said Dr. Hertz, was the first victim of Hitler’s “callous godlessness,” and Hitler’s declared aim was the disappearance of the Jew from Europe. When the idols of the new paganism had passed away, British Jewry would have the double duty “to assist our crushed and outlawed brethren in their struggle for rehabilitation, and to restore Jewish religious life wherever it has been ruined by the malice of man or the disintegration of war.”
