This article focuses on the book "The Jews in America," by Burton J. Hendrick. The author's failings are not confined to a miscitation of records. He betrays in his general discussion that psychopathic trait of a bigot, the desire to beat his victim with both ends of the stick at the same time. He cites some of the least creditable names as examples of the Polish Jews and for many of the noted members of the race that he mentions he presents a fictitious Spanish or German ancestry. It is surprising that so keen a journalist as Henrick did not recognize that by piling up his contradictions into gross a manner he has made the indictment self-defeating.
