LE JUIF DU PAPE BY EDMOND FLEG
Scarce book "Le Juif du Pape" by Edmond Fleg (Flegenheimer) (Paris: F. Rieder & Co.), 1925. 134pp. 8vo., in blue paper boards. Fleg's play in four acts and 12 scenes. Edmond Flegenheimer (1874-1963) was a Jewish French writer, novelist, essayist and playwright. With Lucien Moreau, he agreed that Jewish and French nationalisms "traveled in parallel lines", and rejected assimilation. During World War One, Fleg joined the French Foreign Legion in order to fight for his adopted country. He won the Croix de Guerre and he was honored later, in 1937, by being made an officer of the Legion of Honor. His work was influenced by the disturbances caused by the Dreyfus affair, by his participation in the Third Zionist Congress in Basel and by the reports of pogroms. Both of his sons were killed in action during World War II.
