A bound volume containing clippings and printed ephemera broadly relating to Catholic-Jewish relations in the 1930s and 1940s. An annotation on the spine reads ‘Jews’. Much of the material relates to David Goldstein (1870-1958), an American Christian apologist who converted from Judaism to Catholicism and founded the Catholic Campaigners for Christ in 1936. In his early years, Goldstein was also involved with the Socialist Labor Party of America. He later became disenchanted with Marxism and actively campaigned against the spread of socialism in the United States in the mid-twentieth century period. Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. was seemingly acquainted with Goldstein’s work and corresponded with him. Some of the material in the volume specifically relates to the Jewish community in Ireland but most of the content relates more broadly to Jewish persecution during the Second World War, the general state of Catholic-Jewish relations, stern criticism of anti-Semitism by various Catholic bishops, Palestine, and the foundation of the State of Israel. The volume is a ‘Walker’s Century Scrap & Newscutting Volume’.
