Though Author Arnold Zweig is writing a tetralogy of War and Peace (already published: The Case of Sergeant Grischa, Young Woman of 1914), De Vriendt Goes Home is not a part of it.

You have sat too long at British feasts!" Trembling, still pale from a recent throat operation, Dr. Weizmann hurried from...
...meeting just as dramatically as Hitlerites walked out of the Reichstag last February. Next day they walked back in, minus Leader Jabotinsky who announced he would take a six-month leave. One Revisionist, Abraham Lang, tore down a blue-&-white Zionist flag because he thought the Congress had "betrayed Zionism's ideals." He was tried last week, suspended from Zionist activities until next December. Abraham Lang wept...
