think you can kill ideas. Tyrants have
tried to do that often before, and the
ideas have risen up in their might and
destroyed them.
You can burn my books and the books
of the best minds in Europe, but the
ideas in them have seeped through a mil-
lion channels and will continue to quick-
en other minds. I gave all the royalties
of my books for all time to the German
soldiers blinded in the World War with
no thought in my heart but love and
compassion for the German people.
I acknowledge the grievous complica-
tions that have led to your intolerance,
all the more do I deplore the injustice
and unwisdom of passing on to unborn
generations the stigma of your deeds.
Do not imagine your barbarities to the
Jews are unknown here. God sleepeth
not; and He will visit His judgment upon
• you. Better were it for you to have a
millstone hung around your neck and
sink into the sea than to be hated and
despised of all men.
