Notes
See pp. 103-5 for a tribute to the endurance of the Jewish people; see also p. 458 for the reference to an unnamed rabbi in New Orleans (surely James K. Gutheim) and his high esteem in the eyes of local clergymen who implored the "distinguished" rabbi not to accept a pulpit in New York. Frequently reissued.
