History of the Jews in Russia and Poland. Volume II

CHAPTER XXIII
19/37

The Hebraic-Russian question has been summed up in a few words: "Extermination of two and one-half millions of mankind because they are--Jews!" [1] [Footnote 1: loc._cit_., p.

653.] After giving an elaborate account of the horrors which had taken place in Russia during 1881, he wound up his speech with the following eloquent appeal: This people is one of the survivors, with Egypt, China and India, of the infancy of mankind.

It is at the mercy of the cruel despot of the North.

With a lineage unrivalled for purity, a religious sentiment and ethics drawn out of the glory and greatness of Mount Sinai ...

with an eternal influence from its law-givers, prophets, and psalmists never vouchsafed to any language, race or creed, It outlives the philosophies and myths of Greece and the grandeur and power of Rome.
