Summary

"Notes on the Diplomatic History of the Jewish Question" by Lucien Wolf is a look into the political scene surrounding Jewish communities in Europe. It shows the different political discussions that happened at international conferences and treaties. The story is about the connection between what was called at the time the "Jewish Question" and the bigger ideas of religious freedom and being set free politically. This was especially important during big political meetings like the Peace Conference after World War I. The beginning of the book explains why the author put together these documents and analyses, and it points out how important the "Jewish Question" was in international relations and caring for people. This was particularly true for the Peace Conference, where decisions about Jewish rights and freedoms were likely to be important. Wolf talks about what happened in the past when people stepped in to help Jewish people in different parts of Europe. This sets the stage for talking about specific situations and examples that show the history of working to give Jewish people civil liberties and fight for their political and social rights over many centuries.

About the Author

Lucien Wolf was an English Jewish journalist, diplomat, historian, and advocate of rights for Jews and other minorities. While Wolf was devoted to minority rights, he opposed Jewish nationalism as expressed in Zionism, which he regarded an incentive to anti-Semitism. In 1917 he co-founded the anti-Zionist League of British Jews.
