RESPONSE Anti-Semites have been fond of quoting this statement, which they say, Stephen Wise prominent New York rabbi and Zionist leader, once made. Actually, Rabbi Wise was a life-long foe of Communism; and an official at Manhattan's Hebrew Union College, where Wise's papers are kept, reported that no such statement appears anywhere in Wise's writings. Even George Lincoln Rockwell, American Nazi leader, was forced to admit it was a fake (1).
