J. Zerr of St.

They learned of each other's whereabouts by radio. When Mrs. Mitchell's husband died in 1815 at Muncle, the mother kept her two sons with her and gave her daughters, Beatrice and Clare, to a sister to care for. Do Your Teeth Bear Close Inspection her so tolerant, and perhaps so bitter. This Is the story in her own words: "Hannah so I recall the story I learned from my grandfather was hounded up and down the map of Europe by the Rothschilds, who wanted to rescue her from marriage with a Christian.

And I daresay the de la Ferte clan wasn't particularly pleasant about the alliance. She suffered poverty, privation and undoubtedly anguish as well, and remained with her husband and bore him four sons. On her way to America, where the de la Fertes decided at last to seek a refuge, Hannah was told that she could not get Kosher meat, slaughtered according to the Mosaic ritual) "This story is not set down In any history. It is a memory of things not only his own way, but also the way his remote ancestors did them. "The history of new movements la the history of martyrs.

The history of ancient Judaism and Jews is also the history of martyrs. There is no denying that the Spanish Inquisition and the infamous pogroms of Kiev and Klshineff in Czaristlc times were facts of history. But the massacre of the Huguenots on St. Bartholomew's Eve is another fact of hisotry. And the tales of our own Salem witchcraft horror are authentic and are chapter in the history of the colonists who came here for freedom to worship Ood according to their convictions.

If we need a further illustration of 'man's Inhumanity to man' we need only consider the slave markets that existed In America TO years ago or the conditions In convict camps today." Miss Lauferty believes that sensitivity to prejudice is also a part of Jewish tradition. She therefore asks that Jewish suffering of the past should be forgotten by the present generation. "The Jews has helped to make his own ghetto by imprisoning himself within the walls of tradition and race-pride from which he sends now and then great prophets to astonish the world. He has insisted on his urns bloody history of the past, to believe in his future and that of his fellow men, to see prejudice as ignorance. Intolerance as failure to understand and hatred as savagery.

The Jew should recognize that intolerance and prejudice have no personal shafts to direct against him but have always fought to keep men separated into groups destroying each other. The Jew cannot sulk in his tent and add to the world's good will and understanding of him. When an individual thinks he is not getting square deal, who Is there to Insist on giving it to him? No one ever healed a festering wound by dally contemplation of its ugliness. "The Jew need not stop being a Jew because he Is a cultured American living in a way that will not sandpaper the nerves of other people. The Jew must do his bit by conquering his sense of unjust discrimination, must recognize that perhaps the Jew who is refused at a hotel would be refused If he were a Seventh Day Adventlst or a Moslem and on the same grounds social undesirabllity, some lack of conformance with the standard of The sister died and the girls were adopted.

Miss Lauferty says that the mere fact that a minority complains is not sufficient proof or discrimination practiced against it. "All minorities," she declares, "complain of the chains majorities make them wear; and most majorities discuss the failure of the minorities to assimilate." It Is Miss Lauferty's belief that in many cases the Jew creates his own "street of chains," by insisting en differentiations or by ignoring the peculiar psychology of those different from him. She further believes that many a Jew makes his lot unhappy by placing too much emphasis on what he considers "prejudice." "It can never be sufficiently stressed," she says, "that prejudice is not the unique experience of the Jew. Right up to the present moment in the history of our planet it has been recorded that any highly differentiated, strongly accented and stubbornly individual group Is bound to arouse race antagonism. The Jew is one of the outstanding individualities of the world.

He Insists on being himself, on doing something I heard when I was a expert advice. Several days ago James Mitchell child. But the fact remains that Hannah never reached America. She jumped overboard. i for many years, for which she received an enormously high salary for a woman.

After these many years, Miss Lauferty has again become an integral part of the Jewish people, Inasmuch as she Is the wife of James Wolfe, noted basso of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Now having demonstrated Miss Lauferty's right to comment on Jewish psychology, we let her give her own reasons: "I am grateful for my mixed heritage, since it gives me insight Into widely divergent races and creeds and viewpoints and enables me to take sides with whichever of my ancestral groups is being attacked, while I have the mental comfort of knowing that I am loyal from choice." Recently Miss Lauferty wrote a book called "The Street of Chains," in which she dealt with the children of intermarriage. Her theme was that most often what is mistaken for prejudice is really nothing but needless misunderstanding. Herself a product of intermarriage, she argued that intermarriage per se is "And that typifies what I feel to went to Chicago and had an inquiry ac to the possible whereabouts of his sisters broadcast.

In substance, Is the comment made by Lillian Lauferty on the recently-renewed discussion of anti-Jewish prcjudics in the United States, 'it may seem peculiar to some people that a woman with the riame of Lauferty should consider it her province to comment on the psychology of the Jews. But hidden behind that Irish name is a Jewish ancestry of distinguished lineage. Lillian Lauferty Is the great-granddaughter of Hannah Rothschild, who was the niece of Meyer Amschel Rothschild.

To those who may be unacquainted with the name of the latter personage. It is sufficient to say that Meyer Amschel was the founder of the House of Rothschild, which is still today one of the foremost international banking houses In the world. The Rothschilds helped to bolster the thrones In Austria, Prussia, Prance and Russia. But It was also the Rothschilds who used their vast money and their wide influence to help the condition of the Jews In every country of Europe, from Russia to England and Italy. Married a Christian.

A But Hannah Rothschild, to the amazement of her family, Ignored the deep religiousness of her family, and married a Christian by the name of De la Ferte. The Rothschilds would have nothing to do with this member of their family who had Intermarried. De la Ferte, poor Frenchman, who had possibly hoped to achieve an easier life through marriage, finally decided to sail for America to hunt his fortune. There is no hint, however, that their marriage was an unhappy one. Today Lillian Lauferty is one of the descendants of that intermarriage.
