Persecution of Jews in Russia

The Jews throughout the world are most effectually stirred by the terrible persecutions of their people in Russia. At a mass meeting in New York, Mr. Oscar Straus, himself a Jew and the former American Minister to Turkey, said: "It is the greatest calamity which has befallen Israel since the destruction of Jerusalem under Titus. So far as I am familiar with the history of the Jewish race, the present catastrophe is greater than was suffered in Spain and Portugal, or even in the Middle Ages, at the period of the Crusades. Never before were so many Jews wounded and rendered homeless as now."
