Lily Offenstadt (born 1909) was the long-time secretary (and alleged paramour) of German Jewish author Arnold Zweig (1887–1968). This uncorrected proof copy was a gift by Lion Feuchtwanger (1885–1958) to Offenstadt. Feuchtwanger was a German Jewish novelist and playwright most famous for his work Jud Süß.
This book he inscribed in German:
Lilly Offenstadt. With heartfelt wishes. Lion Feuchtwanger. Berlin. 10.Oct.32 (translated).
This book was to become the first part of a series known in English as The War of the Jews: A Historical Novel of Josephus, Imperial Rome, and the Fall of Judea and the Second Temple.
