".Sol Bloom (March 9, 1870 - March 7, 1949) was an American song-writer and politician from New York City who began his career as an entertainment impresario and sheet music publisher in Chicago. He served fourteen terms in the United States House of Representatives from the West Side of Manhattan, from 1923 until his death in 1949. Bloom was the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee from 1939 to 1947 and again in 1949, during a critical period of American foreign policy. . Bloom was especially concerned with the fate of European Jews but was unable to overcome very strong resistance to admitting Jews or any refugees before the war. He argued vigorously after the war that the United States needed to take in larger numbers of refugees. He adopted the Zionist position that mandated Palestine should become the refuge for Jewish victims of the Holocaust. He urgently lobbied President Harry Truman in 1948 to immediately recognize the Jewish state of Israel, which Truman did." (Wikipedia). Bloom also penned the ditty singsonged by young boys even up through the 1950s ("Oh they don't wear Pants in the Sunny Side of France"). Musical Supplement to the San Francisco Examiner.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often troubling history of suicide, examining its prevalence across various cultures and time periods. The author meticulously traces the roots of suicidal behavior, exploring the philosophical and religious beliefs that shaped attitudes toward self-destruction. The book traces the evolution of suicide from ancient times, highlighting the role of funeral sacrifice, a practice common in many cultures, and the subsequent development of the belief in the continuity of the present and future lives. The author examines the impact of key religious and philosophical systems, such as Brahmanism and Buddhism, on the understanding of death, the afterlife, and the moral implications of taking one's own life. The author explores how these ancient belief systems often viewed suicide not as an act of despair, but as a necessary step in spiritual progression or a means to escape the pain of earthly existence. The book then turns to the rise of Stoic and Epicurean philosophy in ancient Greece, analyzing how these schools of thought influenced the rationalization and even justification of suicide in a world where free will was seen as a powerful force, sometimes in conflict with the laws of nature. This book offers valuable insight into the complex history of suicide, revealing the cultural, philosophical, and religious factors that have shaped human perceptions of life, death, and the ultimate purpose of existence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
