Dr. Soma Morgenstern, a man with a distinguished career in
Europe, for a number of years now an American citizen, has
helped raise the standards of the Jewish literary field with his
trilogy: "The Son of the Last Son," "In. '
My Father's Pastures" and "The Testa-
ment of the Last Son." Dr. Ludwig
Lewisohri- has translated his latest work,
"The Third. Pillar," publication of which'
was announced jointly this week by the
Jewish Publication Society of America
(22 N. 15th, Phila.: 2), and Farrar, Straus
and Co. (101 5th, NY 3).
The Third- Pillar"—not a big book,
since its message is condensed in 150
pages—is so soul-stirring that it can
veritably be called' another "J'Accuse.'
It is the accusation of the sufferers
from Nazism against the perpetrators of
Dr. Soma s Morgenstern the world's most horrible crime— the
murder of six million • Jews, but especially the extermination of
the eleven hundred thousand Jewish children!
It is a most revealing book.' It exposes to light the beastiali-
ties of the Germans. But it also reveals that the neighbors of the
Jews in East European countries were partners in the, crime!
In other exposes of the Nazis terror, the same story is told:
Poles and Ukrainians often ' we re as cruel, at times more cruel,
; than the invading Germans. Theo Messenger in Soma Morgan-
stern's story cries out: "The bloody deeds of this day and those
that followed were committed by our fellow citizens, our neigh-
bors: Ah, it is an ancient sorrow that in the days of heir his-
tory, whether fortunate or wretched, it was always they,' our
neighbors, who were prone to vent their spleen on us. That is an
old story, a European and Christian refrain."
The Messenger, describing the invasion of the synagogue by
the German troops on Yom Kippur, describes the soldiery as a
species "such as the history of the world will never see again—
unless, in truth, huthanity in, blasphemous self-forgetfulness ever
again permits that people to raise its blood-drenched head."
It is the crime against the children that primarily concerns
the accuser. The Messenger tells the court, on the day when the
rule of the S. S. men was ended by the Reds in , the town in which
the trial takes place in the defiled synagogue:
"The accusation gives a number: eleven hundred thousand •
children were slaughtered. A round number. But numbers and
figures have neither countenance, nor heart, nor -eyes. But the
eleven hundred thousand children had eleven hundred thousand
faces; they had eleven hundred thousand hearts; they had
eleven hundred thousand eyes. How much light has been
extinguished! In twice eleven hundred thousant1 children's eyes
there is space for a darkness great enougheto hide this entire
continent in an eternal night"
*

Nehemiah, one of the survivors, utters a curse: "The defilers
of creations, the Soilers of the Source—may their name be blotted
out of the Book of Life and out of the Book of Death. May a
burning fire and a searing bolt corrode and expunge from the
face of humanity any and every lineament which may recall these
Nazi-Germans, whether in body or in spirit. The -blood which they
have shed will rise up against them. Those whom they have
hunted, whom they have humiliated, whom they have tortured,
whom they have wounded with knives, whom they have burned
with fire; whoth they have drowned' in water, whom they have
throttled with poisonous gases; the flesh which they have 'torn,
the bones which they have broken, the skill which they have
lacerated, the blood which they have shed— all this will rise up
against them and will throttle and choke therri and obliterate
thein from the face of the earth . . ."
But this is not sufficient. The survivors seek an answer to
their last blood, their last prayer: ‘they await a message: And the
message is given in the form of:‘Athialta di-Geulah! The re-
demption ,has begun! Before the holocaust, the twin in the story,
JoChanan who perished and Nehemiah who survived, disCussed
the Messiah theme, and one of them foresaw Athhalta di-Geulah!
And the survivors, in their humbleness, in' their humility, appealed
to the Eternal: "Let us, while there still are oppressors and
oppressed, be among the oppressed and not among the oppressors,
among the hunted and not among the hunters, among the slain
and not the slayers." And they added to their prayer:
"AboVe all, Creator of the Universe, let us continue to side
with the humble and not with the arrogant. We know this world
will be saved from evil. Should this not be true, may we know
nothing further; for nothing further will be worth knowing."

Such is the masterful story of the holocaust and of Israel's
reply to it. Such is the great expose. The Nazi horror is now being
exposed for . all in all its brutality: in the Simon-Schuster books,
