Netanyahu, Ben-Zion. Typed 38-page draft of a manuscript by Ben-Zion Netanyahu, father of former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, titled "Survive or Perish, An Analysis of the Problem of the Jews," n.p., n.d. (during World War II). Very good; many holograph corrections and annotations; light toning and soiling. Ben- Zion Netanyahu, was a professor of Jewish history, a former editor of the Hebrew Encyclopedia, and a former senior aide to Zeev Jabotinsky. The paper addresses issues such as "Theories of Hate," and "Diagnosis of Jew-bating," going into the history of anti-Semitism, discussing the history of Palestine, and explaining why he feels that a Jewish homeland in Palestine could be the answer to the "problem." A fascinating paper written as the Holocaust took place.
