“The Jews were accustomed to charges against their business methods, their insularity and arrogance. Given the opportunity to do so, they changed their occupation and their ways. But once their critics decided they sprang from an inferior breed of Asiatics they were condemned from birth; or rather, before birth - to their antecedence reaching back to whatever moment might be selected as the beginning of time.”
Litvinoff’s history of the Jews and the persecution they endured at the hands of the people among whom they lived, beginning with their dispersal by the Romans in the first century A.D. and leading to their subsequent wanderings from country to country over the next two thousand years.
