"In London, Polish Jew Samuel Artur Zygelbojm, a key figure in the prewar Jewish Social Democrat Party, commits suicide following nearly a year of fruitless campaigning on behalf of Jews trapped in the Warsaw Ghetto, including his wife and teenage son. His death is reported in the press, which pointedly omits the text of his suicide note, which condemns the Allies for their indifference to the Jews."

On June 4, 1943 the New York Times ran a story on Zygelbojm's suicide, and included the entire note. It will be reproduced here next month.

At the end of the images of the New York Times of May 12, 1943 in this thread is a review of The Fountainhead by NYT book reviewer Orville Prescott.

This is a real look into the past.
