נושא: Re: [Cz-L] Book of the Month, April 2015: Usury in Bukovina
I would take Platter's book with a pinch of doubt & suspicion. One should weigh the authors background & character before giving great credibility to his writing. The viciousness in the exclusive description of the Jews can't be but suspect against the description of the gentle ,cultivated, kind landlord and peasantry who because of a slight failing namely drunkenness & gambling fall victims to those Jewish usurers. It becomes confusing . He describe the Jews in rags filthy ,dirty beggars and poor on one hand and next comes the change into money grubbing rich money lenders. Are these usurers still wearing those well described rags with holes ?? Where did they get the money in the first place ??? and so the mystery grows.......
