A prominent graphic artist’s account of his Eastern European travels, expressing a mixture of sympathy and distaste. “I have had the opportunity thrust upon me of seeing the Jew much more intimately than the majority of his defenders or his detractors; and what I did see, I have simply put down in black and white. It requires no knowledge of life five hundred years ago to see how the Polish Jew is living today.”
