Rafael Monologue from The Ghetto: A Drama in Four Acts

From The Ghetto: A Drama in Four Acts by Herman Heijermans

male · defiant · 56 sec

You are speaking to a Jew who claims to-day and to-morrow as his own--not yesterday! A Jew who believes that it shall not be asked if a man worship in a synagogue or in a cathedral, in a chapel or in a mosque, or in silence and solitude under God's own dome! And the falsehood you have brought me up by; our hatred and our bigotry which keeps us away from them, our cursed earthiness which keeps them away from us--I loathe it all--I hate it--I will fight it as long as I live! I am a Jew--a Jew of to-day and to-morrow; and every man whom God created in his image is my brother!
