Captain P. Wright—“But the high day and tri¬ umph of the Jews was during the German occupation. The Jews in Poland are deeply Germanized, and Ger¬ man carries you over Poland because Jews are every¬ where. So the Germans found everywhere people who knew their language and could work for them. It was with Jews that the Germans set up their organization to squeeze and drain Poland—Poles and Jews in¬ cluded—of everything it had; it was in concert with Jews that German officials and officers toward the end carried on business all over the country. In every department and region they were the instruments of the Germans, and poor Jews grew rich and lordly as the servants of the masters. But though Germanized, the accusation of the Poles that the Jews are devoted to Germany is unfounded * * * They have no more loyalty to Germany—the home of anti-Semitism— than to Poland. The East Jews are Jews and only Jews.
“It has seemed certain that one of two, the Ger¬ man or the Russian Empire, must win, and that the Jews, who had their money on both, were safe; but the despised Poland came in first. Even now the Jews can hardly believe in its resurrection, and one of them told me it still seemed to him a dream.’’ Mr. Morgenthau does not touch this matter in his report.
