This is the last of the talks in which J. W. Parkes has been following the troubled story of the Jews from
\ earliest times up till the present. He has traced the fortunes of this great people through history, and today he will sum up in terms of the present situation. There is no doubt that the Jews are at present undergoing one of the most tragic periods in their whole story, and the speaker will outline the various events that have led up to it, and the conflicting opinions with which Jewry entered the post-war world.
