In Ancient Egypt and present-day Germany: A Passover sermon : by the Chief Rabbi (Dr. J.H. Hertz), St John's Wood Synagogue April 11th, 1933
Curatorial Notes:
This sermon is given only weeks after Hitler came to power in 1933. Rabbi Hertz compares the plight of German Jews to the ancient Israelite slaves in Egypt. He vigorously calls upon Britain to fight against this Jewish oppression, illustrating that even in these earliest days of the Nazi era, Jewish activists were fighting for the relief of their fellow Jews.
