The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-10-01

perficial glance at the works of the
two poets would seem to indicate that
they are sufficiently remote from
Jewish life to be genuinely German
writers, still there is some justice in
that classification of Semitic BY
taste" and may they hide it or deny
it, their Semitic point of view or rath-
err the Semitic makeup Of their per-
sonalties will stamp whatever they
produce with an indelible "Graf Won
Charolais," the type of a martyred
Jew which reminds you very strongly
of Shakespeare's Shylock. Red Itzik is
also a son Of that remarkable race,
which after martrydom of genera
tons and centuries rises again to new
glory. But yet, what a difference!
Shylock is a Jew and his tragedy is
that of the race, still in Shakespeare's
description there is less tragedy and
more revenge which is undoubtedly
not Jewish, like Shylock's insistence
upon pound of flesh. But it is differ
ent with Red Itzik. Here the Jewish
woe is depicted not ony as 1t is, but as
it came to be. Here both the form and
the conception are Jewish,-and such
is the condition Of the Jew in the en-
tire field of German letters, where
Jews are the authors. 1t is the Jewish
spirit and the Jewish philosophy,
erected upon the fundamentals of true
and pure Jewish ethics, which remain
ed with US in spite Of prosecutions, in
in spite of actual or partial assimila-
tions. 1t is this undaunted Jewish
spirit WHICH causes our enemies
to sneer at our efforts in the
field Of German letters, calling it
Semitic by-taste." But the form is
not ours; we derived it by imitation or
absorption from our neighbors, yet
again cothing it with Jewish spirit
and Jewish ideals. In this manner we
have revived and re-modeled the lit
eratures Of the world. Our tendency to
speculation and philosophic investiga-
ton gave way to a facility of form
and expression which made it possible
for US to combine Hellenic beauty
with Jewish sense Of justice, Jewish
spirit with Greek culture.
The German critics discovered it
early. The thorough German refused
to receive the Semitic by-taste".
Heine was charged with being more
Of a thinker than a poet, and also
that his powers were destructive
rather than constructive. His ironical
verbal excursions against Germany
were regarded as so much evidence of
his Semitic mind. The critics went
further They became aware Of the
fact that this Jewish stamp upon
Heine's work might turn to be harm.
full or dangerous to Germany. A
charge went broadcast that German
literature was being "Judaized."
Hundreds of writers, beginning with
Heine down to the youngest additions,
Max Brod and Werfel, were classed
as intruders and strangers who pried
their way into German letters only to
poison the German public with their
Semitic breath.
The Jewish masters Of German lit
erature resented it deeply. They be-
gan to charge their German brethren
with anti-Semitism, and charged their
fellow-authors or critics with n desire
