The LF entry on the US Holocaust Museum website, and his entry in the museum’s ‘Fighting the Fires of Hate, America and the Nazi Book Burnings’ traveling exhibition and accompanying web content, lead with this quote in English from Jew Süss and information on LF works burned by the Nazis, i.e. all pre-May 1933 works.

EXCERPT  The Book; yes, their Book. They had no state, holding them together, no country, no soil, no king, no form of life in common. If, in spite of this, they were one, more one than all the other peoples of the world, it was the Book that sweated them into unity. Brown, white, black, yellow Jews, large and small, splendid and in rags, godless and pious, they might crouch and dream all their lives in a quiet room, or fare splendidly in a radiant, golden whirlwind over the earth, but sunk deep in all of them was the lesson of the Book. Manifold is the world, but it is vain and fleeting as wind; but one and only is the God of Israel, the everlasting, the infinite, the Jehovah. -Jud Süss, 1925
