Maurice Samuel (1895-1972) was an American Jewish novelist of Romanian birth. Maurice Samuel is the greatest Jewish writer that you've never heard of. I only know him because of the circulation of an anti-Zionist meme on Facebook that features his infamous quote, "We Jews are the Destroyers." This is a quote from his book You Gentiles, which I have yet to read, but will do so in due time. Little Did I Know was written years later, by a mature Samuel looking back on his life. By this time he has renounced his earlier Socialism, but interestingly says nothing about You Gentiles; neither whether he stands by his earlier statement or repudiates it. Little Did I Know is remarkable not for its overt descriptions of Jewish philosophy (there is very little of this), but for the recollection of a remarkable Jewish life, spanning residence in at least 5 countries (that is all I counted at any rate), and the rubbing of elbows with an astonishing array of characters both known and unknown to history. As a science geek, I couldn't help but be impressed that the latter included Ernest Rutherford, discoverer of the proton, and a professor under whom Maurice Samuel studied physics!
