(JUDAICA) 'RED AND GLOWING IS THE EYE OF THE JEW' Scarce German book: 'Rot und gluhend ist das Auge des Juden' ('Red and glowing is the eye of the Jew'), by Arno Nadel (1878-1943), German Jewish poet and musicologist, and Jakob Steinhardt (1887-1968), Israeli artist and engraver of Polish and Jewish extraction.
