Cincinnati Peace League Formed
1 January 1925 | The
American Israelite
A recently formed organization is the Cincinnati Peace
League, whose purpose it is to study the causes of war and to foster in the
community the desire and will for peace. The officers of the organization are
Rev. Jesse Halsey, President; Rabbi James G. Heller, Vice President; Miss Ethel
Ideson, Recording Secretary; Mrs. A. L. Stix, Corresponding Secretary; Mr. Phil
E. Ziegler, Treasurer. The desire for peace is so nearly universal that it
seems hardly necessary to form an organization to foster it.

“In the name of humanity”Jews and Non-Jews Meet to Consider Hitler Situation Abroad
20 April 1933 | American Israelite
Campaign of Education is Planned for
Cincinnati
A committee of 9
to keep Cincinnati informed on the German situation will be chosen this week.
This is in accordance with action taken Thursday evening, April 13th,
at the Cincinnati Club, when 46 Jews and non-Jews met on call “in the name of
humanity” by Rev. Frank H. Nelson, Rev. Jesse Halsey, Dr. David Philipson, and
Rabbi James G. Heller.
In his
introductory remarks, Dr. Philipson, chairman, said: “Oh, my dear American
brothers and sisters of whatever faith or creed you may be, put yourself in the
place of these men and women, many of them as high-minded and as high-spirited
as any sitting in this room. My appeal to you is not as a Jew or as a rabbi,
but as an American who like you has imbibed the spirit of Washington and
Jefferson, of Franklin and Lincoln as expressed in our Declaration of
Independence, in the articles of the Constitution of the United States and I our
entire American tradition of equality, political and religious. In our rights
as citizens we know no racial distinctions.
This Nazi Doctrine
What strange
language is this Nazi doctrine of Aryanism and Semitism, of Nordic superiority
and Jewish inferiority! Upon this flimsy artificial basis the entire new political
hegemony over there is being built up. Herr Hitler and his minions Goering,
Goebbels and their fellows are declassing 600,000 men and women who have been
among the most faithful and loyal citizens of their fatherland. Herr Hitler, a
German citizen of one year’s standing, is degrading into a no-citizenship class
descendants of ancestors who have been living on German soil for over 1000 years.
“Who deserves
better of the fatherland—this distiller of hatred and inhumanity who is shaming
the German name or the descendants of those toilers in days of peace and
soldiers in years of war who brought honor to the country of their birth, their
love, and their loyalty?”
Facing Ruin
“These German
citizens of the Jewish faith are facing ruin and annihilation. They are
powerless. They are being crushed under the iron heel of a despotic
dictatorship that is absolutely ruthless in its methods. A policy of fiendish
ingenuity and heartless systemic cruelty is being pursued.”
Rabbi Heller
said: “Hitlerism is not solely a menace to German Jews, nor even primarily to
them, but rather is a challenge to all humanity and a threat to the peace of
the world.” He proposed a campaign of education. Rabbi Heller traced the hatred
to injustices in the Treaty of Versailles.
Dr. J. Louis
Ransohoff urged an anti-German boycott. Speakers included Dr. I. M. Rubinow,
Rev. Nelson, Dr. Earle E. Eubank, and Rev. H. S. Bigelow.
Those attending
the Cincinnati Club meeting included: Rev. Henry Pearce Atkins, Samuel Ach,
William Albers, Dr. Julien Benjamin, Oscar Berman . . Dr. Albert Freiberg . . .
Rev. Jesse Halsey . . . Adolph Rosenberg . . . Phil E. Ziegler

Civic Leaders to Voice Indignation At Treatment of Jews in Germany—Protest Meeting Is To Be Held Tuesday Night.
 |

20 November 1938 |
Cincinnati Enquirer
|
A city-wide protest meeting against Germany’s treatment of
Jews will be held at 8 o’clock Tuesday evening at Emery Auditorium under
auspices of Clergymen, educators, labor leaders, and city officials.
Councilman Russell Wilson will preside. Mayor James G.
Stewart will head a list of speakers representing a wide range of community interests.
Charles L. S. Easton, headmaster of the University School, will be Chairman.
Sponsors include Dr. Raymond Walters, President of the
University of Cincinnati; Rev. Jesse Halsey, President of Cincinnati Council of
the Federation of Churches; Jack Hurst, President of Central Labor Council;
Jack Kroll, head of Cincinnati Amalgamated Clothing Workers; Phil E. Ziegler,
Secretary of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, Judson J. McKim, Executive
Secretary of the Y.M.C.A.; Dr. William Keller, and Mrs. Lowell Hobart, Jr.
Easton said last night that the meeting has been arranged “to
show Cincinnati Jews just where Gentiles stand” on the Nazi anti-Semitic
program.
This protest, he declared, was not merely “an empty token of
sympathy,” but a militant stand against what Nazism represents in the world
today.
Christians must understand, he asserted, that their own
interests were endangered, too, by the wave of intolerance and reversion to
force seen now in Germany.

Dear
Dr. Halsey:
I
have been out of the city for the better part of month and just heard about
your great sorrow. I sympathize with you deeply.
Sincerely,
[grand
secretary-treasurer of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks]
