Essays have been published, on some of the topics treated in these pages, by
writers in different languages: in Russian, by Bramson, Klausner, and Morgulis;
in Hebrew, by Izgur, Katz, and Klausner; in German, by Maimon, Lilienthal,
Wengeroff, and Weissberg; in English, by Lilienthal and Wiener; and in French,
by Slouschz. The subject as a whole, however, has not been treated. Should this
work stimulate further research, I shall feel amply rewarded. Without prejudice
and without partiality, by an honest presentation of facts drawn from what I
regard as reliable sources, I have tried to unfold the story of the struggle of
five millions of human beings for right living and rational thinking, in the
hope of throwing light on the ideals and aspirations and the real character of
the largely prejudged and misunderstood Russian Jew.
