GOODHART, ARTHUR LEHMANN. Poland and the minority races. *$2.50 Brentano’s 914.38
20–15472
“Mr Goodhart was attached to the mission sent in the summer of last year into Poland by the American government to inquire into the Jewish question. He accompanied the mission on their journey, and has now published his diary made at the time. So it comes, therefore, that we have much of the raw material on which Mr Morgenthau’s and General Jadwin’s reports, which have been published by the American government, were based. In addition to the light which it throws upon the Jewish problem, the book is interesting as giving pictures of the more general conditions of life and society in Poland.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup

“Captain Goodhart’s diary holds the reader’s attention from the first page to the last. Occasional humorous anecdotes enliven an otherwise rather sordid recital.”

“The most sensitive Pole cannot object to the book, neither can the Jews, and the American can by reading it get a splendid idea of the Poland of today. Reading the book will increase one’s knowledge but not one’s faith in the human race.” E. A. S.
