Emancipation. Everything in the universe is changing ; Hold fast to the religion of your fathers ; The means to render the Jews more useful and happy? ; No one shall be troubled for his religion ; The name of "active citizen" ; I shall maintain your freedom -- Reformation. It is hateful to be a Jewess ; Israel must be exemplary for all peoples ; Incite the people to terror ; I try to tell my grief and it all becomes comic ; Since I was born a slave, I love freedom more than you do ; Let the Rothschilds sanctify themselves, let them speak to kings -- Revolution. We have a solemn mission to perform ; The tradition of dead generations weighs on the brains of the living ; Do not presume discriminatory laws can be tolerated -- Consolidation. The Jews are a nation ; Throw out the Jew Itzig, because he takes whatever he sees -- Renaissance. I want to get out-- out! Out of the ghetto ; The Jewish question : anxiety about my children ; The truth is on the march ; Everywhere an intruder, never welcomed ; My honor has been restored ; Every Jew has his system. |
