⁂ The translator Mosa Pijade, a Serbian Sephardic Jew, was imprisoned in 1925 for 'revolutionary activities'. In prison he met Josip Broz-Tito and Pijade later became Tito's right-hand man, one of the leaders of the Partisans during WWII and, after the war, President of the Yugoslavian Parliament from 1954-55.

In 1948 he convinced Tito to allow the Yugoslav Jews to emigrate to Israel. This book was published by Geca Kon (Géza Kohn), a Hungarian born Jew, who owned the biggest publishing house in Yugoslavia, operating from 1901 until the German occupation in 1941. After the Germans marched into Belgrade, Kon was arrested and shot. Most of his family, who were also active in the business, were taken to a concentration camp in Vojvodina and shot that same year.
