1947242 pages. "Contains a number of short glimpses of certain scenes in the tragic drama of Europe between the two Great Wars, as they were witnessed by the writer. The implications of those scenes were so clear that it must remain something of a problem why the leaders of the nations which wished for peace failed to take warning while yet there was time to avert disaster. A scene from each of the Great Wars has been included as prelude and climax, and some account of what defeat has so far meant for Germany. It is a mild punishment compared with what would have befallen her opponents if they had been defeated." - foreword. Black and white photographic plates. Front free endpaper removed.

In her position as supervisor of Jewish education, Liebert developed and disseminated Jewish educational materials in rural areas, contacted and trained itinerant Jewish educational teachers, organized Jewish educational classes, and helped new immigrants adjust to their new environment.
