Lovers of peace in war- like countries, lovers of freedom in dictatorships, lovers of better and more equitable human lives amid the slothful and the cruel— these are the kinds of individuals and the kinds of groups who are persecuted from age to age.

And such are still the persecuted in this day and in this age. From this follows one of the deepest and truest paradoxes of the normal life those who are per- secuted are always the least worthy of persecution—from the prophets to the Jews and Chris- tians and liberals of contemporary Germany.
