Jewish Tales by
Gentile Authors

"Candles in the Night" Is
Significant Collection;
Edited by Dr. Baron

Just now, while a new Dark
Age casts its ominous shadows
on many erstwhile centers of cul-
ture and the lights of morality
are being put out, it is important
to keep aglow the candles of hu-

been championed by the choicest
hearts and minds on earth.

Dr. Baron's Compilation

An excellent example of how
this may be accomplished is the
compilation of Jewish tales by
Gentile authors under the title
"Candles in the Night" by the
Rev. Dr. Joseph L. Baron, and
published this week by the Jew-
ish Publication Society of Amer-
ica.
The stories in this volume,
written originally in nine differ-
ent languages by 23 masters of
the story-telling art, were culled
from 14 national literatures.
Each of them fulfills the funda-
mental requirements of a story,
namely, interest and entertain-
ment of the reader. Character
sketches, drama and adventure,
tragedy, satire and mystery may
be found here side by side.
Some of the stories appear here
in new form, others are pub-
lished here for the first time in
English. All of the tales are lit-
erary masterpieces in their re-
spective countries, and all of
them teach the first and most
fundamental law, the Golden
Rule of Human Brotherhood.

man sympathy and understanding
kindled by the great spirits of
the ages.
The supreme symbol of mar-
tyrdom today, as for millenia
past, is still the Jew. Perhaps no
other people has been quite so
brutally overwhelmed by the
floods of hatred and barbarism.
Israel is still the easy scapegoat,
the customary target for all the
lust and greed of evil men, the
classical suffering Servant of the
Lord.
It is important, therefore, that
the pathos and courage of Jewish
life, the virtue and spiritual dig-
nity of Jewish character, as de-
lineated by brilliant non-Jews, be
brought again and again to the
attention of the public at a
time when the air resounds with
false witness borne against neigh-
bors. It is important that Jew
and Gentile alike bear in mind
that the cause of the Jew—which
is the cause of Humanity—has

These stories have two ele-
ments in common: a Gentile au-
thor and a Jewish subject. Such
names as Boccaccio, Carl Ewald,
Anton Chekhov, Anatole France,
Strindberg, Cargiale, Eliza Or-
zeszko, Stephen Vicent Benet,
Sinclair Lewis and others repre-
sent the finst artists of the liter-
atures to which they contributed.
Each author differs in his ap-
proach to the subject of the Jew,
and writes with a view to the
social problem of his own day
and surroundings. All of them are
free from vulgar prejudices and
place the discussion on a high
moral and intellectual plane. In
his stimulating preface to this
volume, Carl Van Doren points
this out in his remark, "The best
non-Jews have not been unjust
or inhumane toward Jews."
Two brilliant essays accom-
pany the collection, "A Note on
Anti-Semitism" by the famous
critic and author, Carl Van
Doren, and the editor's historical
survey of non-Jews' friendship
for the Jew, the first study of
its kind in any literature.
Clearly the Jew has always
and everywhere been an inter-
esting subject. Dr. Baron select-
ed these stories from a much
larger collection of Gentile tales

the best examples from the point
of view of thought and artistic
presentation. At the same time,
he indicates that the Jews have
never lacked sympathetic under-
standing of the more fair-minded
among their neighbors. Here may
be found tolerance and admira-
tion for Jewish martyrdom, and
an understanding of Jewish life
and character. Each story in its
own time and place sheds a
bright light in a dark corner in
human relationships. They com-

This work should be of some
help and of great interest to the
general reading public, for, as
Dr. Van Doren points out,
"While Jews are the earliest and
worst sufferers from anti-Semi-
tism, in the long run non-Jews
suffer from it too."
