- and Germany is destitute" - JAMES W. GERARD (ex US ambassador to
Germany - excerpt from "Four Years In Germany" - 1917).."One of the
great mysteries that has always puzzled me is how Jews, who account for
such a tiny fraction of the world's population, have been able to
achieve so much and excel in so many different fields - science, music,
medicine, literature, arts, business and more. If you listed the most
influential people of the last hundred years, three at the top of the
list would be Einstein, Freud and Marx; all were Jews. Many more belong
on the list, yet Jews comprise at most less than 3 percent of the
United States population. They are an amazing people. Imagine the
persecution they endured over the centuries: pogroms, temple burnings,
Cossack raids, uprootings of families, their dispersal to the winds and
the Holocaust. After the Diaspora, they could not own land or worship
in much of the world; they were prohibited from voting and were told
where to live. Yet their children survived and Jews became by far the
most accomplished people per capita that the world has ever produced" -
