It was originally pub- lished to great acclaim in 1950 as "The Foot of Pride" and then reprinted as "Thy Brother's Blood." In the intervening years the work attracted a small, devoted band of people who felt that its message still has relevance for a new generation. m AMILTON PLACE?

It is the first offering of the Freedom Library Press, a new publishing house es- tablished by the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith for the publication of significant books, whether original or out-of-print, on religious or human rela- tions themes. More than 200 people — participants in the ongoing Jewish-Christian • dialogue — turned out for a reception launching both the book and the Freedom Library in the ADL headquarters building and heard addres- ses on the book and its theme — the origins of anti-Semitism in the early Christian church — by three persons associated with its republication. They were Claire Huchet-Bishop, a French- American ;Catholic scholar who knew Malcolm Hay and is the author of the book's foreword; Father Edward H. Flannery, who wrote the book's preface and is the author of "The Anguish of the Jews," and Rabbi Ronald B. Sobel, senior rabbi of Temple Emanu-El, New York, and chairman of ADL's national program committee. Explaining the reason for its republication, Rabbi Sobel, who chaired the meeting, said it was due to the persis- tence of fundamental Christian ignorance of modern Jewish living and the re-emergence of anti-Semitism as a politi- cal and cultural force. Rabbi Sobel said that many Christians do not identify Jews and Judaism with today's Jewish com- munity but with the pre- Christian religion they read about in their Bible. He added .that "the sig- nificant increase in anti- Jewish sentiment and ac- tivity demands our most serious attention." Mrs. Bishop, president of the Judeo-Christian Fellowship of France and former president of the International Council of Christians and Jews, spoke of her long rela- tionship and corre- spondence with Mr. Hay and his widow, Alice Ivy Hay, mother-in-law of Orde Wingate, the British general who trained the Hagana. Noting that Mr._Ha- interest in the Jewi, people was sparked by his wife, a Protestant, Mrs. Bishop described him as a searcher "valiant for truth" who sought to eradicate evil from the church because people can "only benefit from facing its defects and correcting them." Mrs. Bishop said that the book is particularly impor- tant today because "Jews are the target when the state of Israel is attacked." It shows what happens "when Christian hatred is built up over 1600 years."
