GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (1856-1950)
Autograph postcard, signed 'G. Bernard Shaw', from 4 Whitehall Court, 9 June 1933, 12°, to Mrs Hecht, in response to Nazi protests in German theatres 'it is necessary for me to emphasise the fact that I am a Gentile, and an Irish Gentile at that, to clear myself of any suspicion of a pro-Jewish bias. I even claim a pro-Nazi, or at least a pro-Fascist bias, to give greater weight to my protest. Otherwise I should seem to be only using the Jew as a stick to beat Hitler, as some of our papers are obviously doing' (some smudging).
