Shoah

Cloth, 12mo, 62 pages. Holocaust-era translation, with new forward by the translator, originally published in French in 1927. CONTENTS: “Why I Am A Jew”; “Israel Lost”; “Israel Found Again”; “Israel Everlasting. ” Fleg (1874-1963) was a French poet, playwright, and librettist. Though he was not very committed to Judaism in his early life, the Dreyfus Affair and early Zionist Congresses returned him to the faith. After early popular literary successes, including the French scripts for Faust and Julius Ceasar, Fleg devoted his efforts to examining modern Judaism, and from the 1920s on, was a leader in French Jewish literature, writing biographies, poetry, and essays.
