Imprint: Basle; Librairie Victor Goldschmidt, 1945
Binding: Hardcover
Original Cloth. 8vo. [1], 132 pages. 22 cm. Kitsur Shulhan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law) , printed in Basle, Switzerland, ostensibly for Jewish refugees there. The Kitsur Shulhan Arukh by Solomon ben Joseph Ganzfried (1804–1886) , Hungarian rabbi and author. “His most famous work is the Kitsur [Abridged] Shulhan ‘arukh (1864) , a text that summarizes, in simple, straightforward language, the main practical religious commandments to be observed in everyday life. Ganzfried states in his introduction that his primary sources, in addition to Yosef Karo’s Shulhan ‘arukh itself, were the halakhic works of the rabbis Ya‘akov Lorbeerbaum of Lissa (Leszno) , Shneur Zalman of Liady, and Avraham Danzig, and whenever their opinions divided, he concurred with the majority ruling. The Kitsur Shulhan ‘arukh was very popular during Ganzfried’s lifetime; indeed, it was one of the most widely accepted halakhic books for the religious public. Dozens of editions were printed, and the book was translated more than once into English, Yiddish, French, German, and Hungarian. Various commentaries on the Kitsur were written as well—although Ganzfried had opposed this, as he wished to retain the concise format of his original version. ” - YIVO Encyclopedia.

"Although his first poems were written in 1916, Osmachka began his literary career while he was a student at the Kyiv Institute of People's Education from 1920 to 1923. He belonged to the literary organizations Aspys and Lanka [Later known as 'Maisternia Revoliutsiinoho Slovaâ'ť (Workshop of the Revolutionary Word) or MARS] and published his first collection of poetry, Krucha (The Precipice) , in 1922; it was followed by two more collections, Skytski vohni (The Scythian Fires, 1925) and Klekit ([Crane's] Clacking, 1929) . Like other members of MARS he was attacked and arrested for his 'unpolitical' literary works, but managed to save himself from execution by feigning insanity. During the 1930s he faced constant persecution by the authorities and was unable to publish any works. During the Second World War he fled to Western Ukraine, then to displaced persons camps in Germany, and finally to the United States. Osmachka's personal ordeal had lasting effects on him, and until his death he suffered from a persecution complex. Nonetheless he resumed his literary career in 1943 in Lviv with the publication of his fourth collection of poetry, Suchasnykam (To My Contemporaries) . In the displaced persons camps, where he was a member of the MUR literary organization, he published his epic poem, written in octaves, Poet (Poet, 1946) , as well as his first prose work, Starshyi Boiaryn (The Best Man, 1946)."ť (Encyclopedia of Ukraine. ) Subjects: Ukraine; Fiction; Short Stories.

Imprint: Alphen Aan Den Rijn (Netherlands) ; Drukkerij Rijnland, [1945]
Binding: Paperback
Paper wrappers. 12mo. 16 pages. 20 cm. Fourth Supplement. In Dutch. Gedenckclanck was originally the name of a volume published in the Netherlands in 1626 which contains the well known hymnal, “we go out together now”, a celebration of Dutch independence and liberation. In the occupied Netherlands consecutive four part anthologies of illegal poetry, letters, and writings, all in the service of the resistance, were printed at the same underground press in Alphen aan den Rijn, and each collection was given the same title Gedenckclanck. “Gedenckclanck 1940-1944” was printed in three parts, in the years 1944, 1944, and 1945, of lengths of 112, 176, and 68 pages respectively, in editions of 2200, 400, 200 respectively. The first volume was printed hastily, without corrections being made to the print run. The latter two volumes were reserved for the Royal House (presumably the Dutch Royal Family was allowed to obtain any type of literature even during the occupation) , prisoners in the camps, prisoners overseas, and those fighting in Free Dutch units elsewhere. Part four, entitled “Gedenckclanck 1940-1945” was printed in the early spring of 1945. Four supplements, prepared during the occupation and which appeared one month after the liberation, were produced in very limited print runs. The pamphlet we have to offer is the last of the four in the series. Approximate translation from the title page recto: “This little book was commenced after a presentation entitled "The Message of the Dead". / We go out together now! Radiant, young, happy. But above all grateful. / Closing with the farewell letter from a condemned man. / To the memory of Jaap Sickenga, shot by the Germans on May 11, 1942.” This supplement to pt. 4 of the clandestinely published series of the same title contains letters and poems by or about Dutch victims of Nazi terror. “Gedenckclanck first appeared in the autumn of 1944. They included only illegal poems, referring to the sacrifice of the dead and suffering in prisons and camps. The second Gedenckclanck offered an anthology of illegal poetry, from bundles and loose sheets of papers that had made the rounds. In the third Gedenckclanck illegal prose poetry was also included. Volume four appeared in the early spring of 1945. In the first months after liberation there appeared four 'supplements' also titled: Gedenckclanck. The compiler lectured in various places on 'The Message of the Dead ", after which a few small anthologies of illegal literature were offered. The mimeographed supplements, respectively: 26, 18, 31 and 16 page count. The first was dedicated to the sacrifice of the dead and suffering in prisons and camps. Nos. 2 and 4 contain only testimonies of martyrs. The third supplement is subtitled: Prayers. ” (This information, and the preceding specifications, with gratitude taken from Dirk de Jong (red. ) , HET VRIJE BOEK IN ONVRIJE TIJD.

8vo; 1st edition. Original illustrated red boards, 8vo, 342 pages. In Yiddish. Title translates as, "The destruction of Vilna." Kaczerginski (1908–1954) was a “Yiddish writer and cultural activist. Born in Vilna to a poor family and educated at that city’s Talmud Torah, Shmerke (Pol., Szmerke) Kaczerginski lost both his parents during World War I. As a youth, he was involved with outlawed Communist groups and was arrested several times, serving a lengthy prison term. In the 1930s, two of his revolutionary poems became popular in Poland. He wrote short stories with a radical bent and was a correspondent and reporter for literary publications, including the semilegal leftist press in Poland and the New York Communist daily Morgn-frayhayt. Kaczerginski played a key role in shaping the writers’ and artists’ group Yung-Vilne; he organized its evening events and was the de facto publisher of its three miscellanies between 1934 and 1936. During the period of Soviet control over Lithuania in 1940–1941, he was even more active in the field of Yiddish culture, but at the same time experienced his first disappointments with the attitude of the Soviet regime toward Jewish culture. During the first period of Nazi occupation, Kaczerginski wandered through villages and towns posing as a deaf mute; after many difficulties, he ended up in the Vilna ghetto. Kaczerginski was very involved in the ghetto’s cultural activities. As a leader of its youth club, he wrote its Yugnt-himen (Youth Hymn), a song that immediately became popular. In 1943, he wrote the song “Shtiler, shtiler” in memory of the mass murders committed at Ponar. Set to music that Aleksander Volkoviski (later known as Aleksander Tamir) had submitted to a contest organized by the ghetto, the song was first heard at an evening performance there and over the years became one of the best-known songs of the Holocaust. With Avrom Sutzkever and others, Kaczerginski became part of a group of forced laborers whom the Germans designated to sort Jewish cultural treasures at YIVO and other locations. Known as the Papir-brigade (Paper Brigade), the group’s members risked their lives to hide the most significant items, smuggling them back into the ghetto or entrusting them to non-Jewish acquaintances. Kaczerginski was a member of the Fareynikte Partizaner Organizatsye (United Partisans Organization; FPO), and, since YIVO’s building was located outside the ghetto walls, he took part in smuggling weapons into the ghetto. In September 1943, Kaczerginski, along with Avrom and Freydke Sutzkever and other members of the FPO, escaped from the Vilna ghetto as part of an organized group of fighters just before its liquidation. They joined a Soviet partisan unit in the Naroch Forests, where Kaczerginski fought as a partisan until liberation in July 1944. Kaczerginski’s books describe the destruction of Vilna, the partisan struggle, and his own experiences during the Holocaust period: Khurbn Vilne (The Destruction of Vilna; 1947), Partizaner geyen (Partisans on the Move; 1947), and Ikh bin geven a partizan (I Was a Partisan; 1952)” (YIVO, 2010).

The result is an index of 350, 000 Jews from almost 9, 000 communities who presubscribed for specific books by specific writers, their names having been noted in the books upon publication. Given the destruction of so many records of Jews during the Holocaust, this book is an invaluable tool for scholars and researchers. SUBJECT (S) : Rabbinical literature -- Publishing.

Between the retreat of the Soviets and the arrival of German security forces and administrators, locals plundered Jewish homes and businesses. Shortly after the Germans arrived, they shot 27 Jews and 30 Soviet prisoners of war. Acting through the Ukrainian police, they also introduced an array of anti-Jewish measures: Jews had to wear identifying armbands (later yellow patches) , comply with a curfew, hand in valuables, including ritual objects, and provide forced labor. It was forbidden for Jews to speak to Ukrainians. As early as July 1941, Jews from the countryside were already being relocated to Ratne. In the spring of 1942, a ghetto was set up there. After a partisan raid on Ratne in June 1942, the Germans shot more than 110 Jews, along with a few Ukrainians. The Destruction of the Jewish Community. In August, the Germans recruited Ukrainian peasants from Prokhid to dig pits at a nearby sand lot. On August 26, the ghetto was “liquidated” by a unit from the Gestapo outpost in Brest supported by the local German Gendarmerie post and Ukrainian auxiliary police force. Although several hundred Jews fled before they could be taken to Prokhid. Many others hid in the ghetto. Most were eventually caught and murdered as well.

(FT) Original Wrappers. 12mo. 79 pages. 17 cm. Undated edition. In Yiddish. “Song of the Murdered Jewish People" by Itzhak Katzenelson (1885–1944) , a Hebrew and Yiddish poet. ”Katzenelson’s world fell apart when in August 1942 his wife Hanna and two younger sons, Ben-Tsiyon and Binyamin, were deported to Treblinka. From then on, his literary creativity was piercingly shaped by lamentations over the loss of his family. Nonetheless, with his oldest son, Tsevi, he found the strength to join the Jewish Fighting Organization and took part in the first uprising of January 1943. After the ghetto was destroyed in April and May 1943, he escaped to the Aryan section of Warsaw and obtained a Honduran identity document. Nevertheless, he was sent to a German detention camp for foreign subjects in Vittel, France. He was imprisoned there until April 1944, and devoted most of his time to writing. Two important works were produced during that period: Pinkas Vitel (The Vittel Diary) , a Hebrew composition that uses the language of an incensed diarist and reconstructs the days of terror in Warsaw during the mass deportations; and Dos lid fun oysgehargetn yidishn folk (The Poem about the Murdered Jewish People) , a pathos-filled Yiddish poem that laments the destruction of the Jewish people and of the poet himself, who has been become bitterly angry with humankind and God. These two works are among the boldest and most lofty literary expressions to emerge from the Holocaust. … All of Katzenelson’s works from his Vittel period were either buried in hiding places or were given to people he trusted; consequently, they were saved and published shortly after the end of the war. In the middle of April 1944, Katzenelson and his son Tsevi were sent to the Drancy transit camp, and from there one month later to Auschwitz, where they were murdered. In 1950, the Ghetto Fighters kibbutz built a museum and an institute for research about the Holocaust that bear Yits?

Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 41 pages. 22 cm. First edition. Contains the contents of Rabbi Isserman’s prognosis, at two separate intervals, while visiting the Jewish community in the early Nazi period; Rabbi Isserman reveals some of his sources - such as his discussions with Rabbi Leo Baeck during his visits – in a new introduction. With an epilogue on Rabbi Baeck’s Analysis of the Cause of Jewish Suffering. “Ferdinand M. Isserman was born on March 4, 1898 in Antwerp, Belgium. His family immigrated to the United States in 1906, settling in Newark, New Jersey, Isserman attended schools in both Antwerp and Newark, graduating from Newark's Central High School in June 1914. In September 1914, Isseman entered Hebrew Union College (HUC) where, in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati, he studied for his bachelor's degree while training for the rabbinate. In 1917, he received a Bachelor of Hebrew Letters degree from HUC. In 1919, Isserman completed the requirements for a bachelor's degree from the University of Cincinnati and three years later (June 1922) he was ordained a rabbi. While in school, Isserman participated in various extra-curricular activities. He was on both the University of Cincinnati and the HUC basketball teams (lettering in basketball at the University of Cincinnati) , he served as president of the HUC Literary Society in 1920-1921, and in 1921-1922 he was president of the HUC student body. Upon ordination, Isserman became Assistant Rabbi under Rev. Dr. Harry W. Ettelson at Rodeph Shalom Congregation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He remained in this position for three years, during which he studied at the University of Pennsylvania, receiving a Master of Arts degree in comparative religion in 1924. In 1925, Isserman assumed the position of rabbi of the Toronto Hebrew Congregation (‘Holy Blossom’) in Canada. In Toronto, Isserman distinguished himself by arranging Canada's first pulpit exchange between a Christian minister and a Jewish rabbi. In 1929, Isserman became rabbi of Temple Israel in St. Louis, Missouri, where he remained through 1963. Isserman visited Nazi Germany three times (in 1933, 1935 and 1937) and participated in many civic as well as Jewish oriented organizations. Some of his more prominent activities included: conducting weekly Jewish programs on local radio stations (1932-1963) , holding an annual Institute on Judaism for the Christian Clergy at Temple Israel (1937-1962) , serving as president of the University of Missouri Jewish Student Foundation (1940-1947) , spending one year overseas during World War II with the American Red Cross (1943) , serving as first president of the combined Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Alumni Association (1950-1951) , chairing both the American Jewish Tercentenary Committee of St. Louis and the American Jewish Tercentenary Committee of Missouri (1954) , serving as the American chairman of the World Union for Progressive Judaism (1955-1956) , and chairing the Thomas C. Hennings Jr. Memorial Committee (1960) . Rabbi Isserman's participation in the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) deserves special note. He was very active with the CCAR's Commission on Justice and Peace from 1942 through 1950, serving as chairman from 1942 through 1945. In 1942, Isserman helped organize and presided over the Commission's American Institute on Judaism and A Just and Enduring Peace, in 1945 he organized the Commission's Institute on Judaism and Race Relations, and in 1950 he helped organize the CCAR's Institute on Reform Jewish Theology Today. Isserman died in March, 1972.” (American Jewish Archives; A Finding Aid to the Ferdinand M. Isserman Papers) Subjects: Jews - Persecutions – Germany. OCLC: 9065545.

The groundbreaking school concept of its founder Hirsch Isaac Borchert consisted in imparting religious and secular education and reflects the striving for education and social advancement in the age of emancipation and acculturation. Both intra-Jewish and locally specific developments as well as the state measures in the Jewish education system introduced in the 19th century were taken into account. The study also clarifies the cooperative relationship between the state school authorities and private educational institutions and shows the special commitment and determination of the actors to bring religious traditions into line with modernization efforts in the Jewish school and educational system” (Translated from the publisher’s abstract).

And Tatort Familie should perhaps even be read before Tatort Deutschland, because family is a certain dark, uncanny underground for Germany, although Germany also shapes family in terms of state, economy and society. In Tatort Familie, the author, as an experienced psychiatrist, provides a kind of empirical analysis of diaries and letters for what he calls "German delusional illness', and he comes to the oppressive conclusion: 'Such mental defects and mental tension can happen again today make possible.' Like Tatort Germany, Tatort Familie is one of the most sincere, personal, sharpest, most ruthless self- and at the same time German social ysen, which arose from the suffering in Germany, German history and society. 'The present publication is essentially intended as a contribution to the elaboration of the questions 'how was the murder of the Jews possible and what happened afterwards?' Every self-lysis inevitably leads into the history of one's own family, in my case a rather inconspicuous 'normal' family, which, however (at least for me) shows tragic and dangerous traits underneath.' 'The first part [of Tatort Familie] consists of what was already 'written' before I was born and up to my seventeenth year (1932-1964). The second [part] also contains a very abridged selection of what I - or written by me, mostly letters and personal notes from the period 1954 to 2007” (Translated from the publisher’s abstract).

"In Gottes Krieg" is a kind of diary in which Birnbaum processed his war experiences in the classic form of the sonnet. The numerous drawings by the author in the book are reminiscent of Alfred Kubin's art in the surreal way in which they depict the horrors and fears of wartime people. In a critical analysis, Daniel Hoffmann's study establishes the connections to Jewish tradition and contemporary Jewish discourse about the World War on the one hand, and on the other hand he interprets "In Gottes Krieg" as the religious-aesthetic program of an idiosyncratic artist” (Translated from the publisher’s abstract).

Part of the series, Jüdische Kulturgeschichte in der Moderne 21. “To this day, little is known about the extent to which those who were once persecuted in Germany were involved in coming to terms with the Nazi past. An example of this are the invitation programs in German cities for mostly Jewish former citizens from abroad. People who were once persecuted were often involved in initiating the contacts that began in the 1960s. Numerous addressees of the programmes, who mainly lived in Israel and the USA, reacted enthusiastically and asked for an invitation. Nevertheless, the majority of the at times more than 300 invitation initiatives only emerged in the 1980s.For the first time, the study offers a historical overview of the history of the invitation programs in the Federal Republic. She compares the different developments in Munich, Frankfurt am Main and Berlin from their beginnings in the 1960s to the present. This comparison reveals the great scope for action of the cities as well as changing power relations. The analysis of numerous sources shows how all actors influenced each other in the sense of entangled memories and a histoire croisée. The programs are the result of the commitment of those who were once persecuted in Germany and abroad and descendants of the perpetrators in Germany - their long-term success is based on the great interest of many emigrants in their ‘old homeland’" (Translated from the Publisher’s abstract).

Es handelt sich um Publikationen aus den Jahren 1982 bis 2021, also aus einem Zeitraum von rund 40 Jahren. Darunter sind einige wenige Originaltexte der Buch-Autorinnen und -Autoren selbst, zumeist jedoch und insgesamt sind es Vor- oder Nachworte des Herausgebers. Die vorliegende Präsentation hat einen Rahmen: Am Anfang steht mein älterer Beitrag 'Zur jüdischen Geschichte der Pfalz', weil diese Geschichte zumindest partiell auch für andere Regionen und Städte Deutschlands gelten kann und interessante Aspekte enthält, die in den übrigen Beiträgen nicht vorkommen. Gewissermaßen als Pendant dazu stehen am Ende des vorliegenden Lesebuchs meine beiden jüngeren Beiträge 'Zur jüdischen Geschichte in Baden und Konstanz'.” Essayists include: Wolff, Elisabeth Isabel; Ahlfeld-Heymann, Marianne; Auerbacher, Inge; Baum-Meróm, Gretel; Baum, Julie; Baum, Norbert; Ben-Chorin, Schalom; Berets, Carlos; Berger, Manfred; Bernhard-Ithai, Lilli; Blitzer, Hanna; Bloch, Erich; Bloch, Theo; Blum, Hans David; Boch, Volker; Brand, Hermann; Cohn, Dora; Degginger, Marianne; Dreyfuss, Louis; Felsch, Volkmar; Flörsheim, Chanan Hans; Gerson, Manfred Mosche; Groszman, Gabriel; Grünfeld, Helmut; Hadda, Wolfgang; Hagelberg, Henry; Heidecker, Fritz Joseph; Hempel, Olga; Hilb, Ernst; Höxter, Nathan; Honig, Jack Heinz; Jungmann-Bradt, Tutti; Kahn, Selma; Kalter, Joachim; Kapp, Heinz; Kamm, Ehepaar; Kessler, Herbert Zwi; Künzel, Peter; Lepsius, Juliane; Levy, Bryan Isbert; Levy-Mühsam, Else E.; Liefmann, Martha; Liefmann, Else; Lindenstraus, Jerry; Lion, Kurt; Lipp-Peetz, Christine; Marcus, Schlomo; Mayer, Bernhard; Meyerstein, Heinz Jehuda; Monar, Gerschon; Mühlfelder-Bravmann, Beatrice; Mühlfelder, Ludwig; Nathan, Ernst Josef; Nathan, Ruth; Nothnagel, Hans; Dähn, Ewald; Ondrichová, Lucie; Ottenheimer, Fritz; Picard, Leo; Randall, Marga L.; Rehn, Erwin; Rehn, Marie-Elisabeth; Rosenthal, Fedor; Rubin, Evelyn Pike; Ruch, Martin; Samuel, Anita; Scharon, Sami; Schnurmann, Alfred; Scott, Jack; Seiffert, Hans-Hermann; Siegel, Paul; Simsohn, Werner; Steinitz, Zwi Helmut; Stiefel, Margot; Stiefel, H.; Thanhauser, Kurt u.

Original photographic boards, 8vo, 130 pages. “Writing the Jewish Self explores the fraught aftermath of the German Jewish conversionary experience through the medium of one family grappling with its fateful Jewish origins in a post-Holocaust, post-exilic milieu. Engaging contemporary scholarship to examine both archival family texts and interviews traversing three generations, it traces the impact of a contested Jewish identity on the deconstruction and reconstruction of the Jewish self. Focusing on the personal to illuminate a complex historical phenomenon, this book proposes a new cultural history that challenges conventional boundaries of what is Jewish and what is not. >>The book is fascinating and important, focusing on a very seldom analyzed” (From the rear cover). ”The book is fascinating and important, focusing on a very seldom analyzed question: What forms of Jewishness - identification, affiliation, historical interest, religious practice - persist among Jews who convert and among their descendants? [...] Without making claims to explaining the phenomenon of the persistence of Jewishness in conversion as a general topic, the book presents a stunning range of responses to the question at hand.” (Naomi Seidman, Chancellor Jackman Professor In the Arts, University of Toronto, Canada)New Condition.

Binding: Paper Wrappers
1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, 8vo, 124 pages. In Yiddish. Title translates as, “Clouds over the Roof.” Holocaust-era publication of poetry by the great Itzik Manger, from the “worst period” of his life. Title page verso notes, “Clouds over the roof: songs and ballads” as well as "Copyright by Jacob Gladstone, New York." Isaac (Itzik) Manger (1901-1969) was a leading Yiddish poet, playwright and author. Born in Czernowitz into a Yiddish literary home–Manger’s father, Hillel, whose bohemianism and bouts of depression kept the family on the move, coined the Yiddish phrase literatoyre, a felicitous pairing of “literature” and “Torah”--the young Manger fled to Romania in WWI, where in 1918 he began to write Yiddish poetry.After the war Manger moved “to Bucharest, where he became a leading spokesman for the Yiddish secular movement in Greater Romania, wrote for the local Yiddish press, and did the lecture circuit, speaking on the ballad as well as on Spanish, Romanian, and Gypsy folklore.Manger was 27 when he arrived in Warsaw as a Romanian poet with thick, disheveled flowing hair, blazing eyes, and a lighted cigarette perpetually dangling from his lips. To the Yiddish literary scene of that city, Manger was an exotic newcomer. He would call this period (1928–1938) ‘my most beautiful decade.' It was by far his most productive.Manger granted interviews and published articles in Literarishe bleter; gave readings at the Writers Club, where he recited his poetry from memory; published Shtern afn dakh (Stars on the Roof; 1929), a meticulously edited volume of his verse; put out 12 issues of his own 4-page literary journal called Getseylte verter (Counted Words; 1929–1930) and filled mostly with his own manifestos, poems, and literary musings; invented a new genre, which he called Khumesh-lider (Bible Songs; 1935); rewrote the Purim megilah (Megile-lider; 1936); penned a personalized history of Yiddish literature from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century (Noente geshtaltn [Close Images]; 1938); published three more volumes of verse, Lamtern in vint (Lantern in the Wind; 1933), Velvl Zbarzher shraybt briv tsu malkele der sheyner (Velvl Zbarzher Writes Letters to the Beautiful Malkele; 1937), and Demerung in shpigl (Dusk in the Mirror; 1937). He also compiled Felker zingen (Nations Sing; 1936), an anthology of European folk songs; wrote Di vunderlekhe lebns-bashraybung fun Shmuel-Abe Abervo (Dos bukh fun gan-eydn) (The Amazing Life Story of Shmuel-Abe Abervo [The Book of the Garden of Eden]; 1939), a fictional autobiography in prose; witnessed the production of two plays, loosely based on Avrom Goldfadn’s work: Di kishef-makherin (The Witch) and Dray Hotsmakhs (Three Hotsmakhs); composed lyrics for the Yiddish cabaret and the fledgling Yiddish movie industry; crisscrossed Poland knowing very little Polish; and entered into a common-law marriage with Rokhl Oyerbakh. In January 1930, Manger was one of the four youngest initiates elected to the Yiddish PEN club. The other three were Yisroel Rabon, Iosef Papiernikov, and Isaac Bashevis Singer…. As a Romanian national, Manger was forced to leave Poland in 1938 and headed for Paris, where he eked out a living by giving lectures on French literature to Yiddish-speaking audiences. When northern France fell to the Germans in 1940, Manger headed south to Marseilles, and from there made his tortuous way to England. In London, he was befriended by the bookstore owner Margaret Waterhouse. Although Manger eventually became a British citizen, he would characterize his 10 years in England as the worst period of his life. A collection of poems, Volkns ibern dakh (Clouds over the Roof), appeared in 1942…. In March 1951….He married Genia Nadir, the widow of the poet Moyshe Nadir, and a jubilee committee chaired by the poet Mani Leyb published a beautiful edition of his Lid un balade (Song and Ballad) in 1952…..In 1958, Manger made his first trip to Israel, where he finally settled, found a new mass audience in both Yiddish and Hebrew, and died in that country….On 31 October 1968, the Itsik Manger Prize was established in Israel. His notebooks, manuscripts, and correspondence are housed at the Manger Archive at the National and University Library in Jerusalem” (Roskies in YIVO Encyclopedia). SUBJECT(S): Yiddish poetry.

Portfolio with Paper Dustjacket. 20 black and white sketches and 10 watercolors. With accompanying text by Esther Lurie; introd. Moshe Sharett ; foreword Eugene Kolb, Esther Lurie [1913-1998] was born in Liepaja, Latvia, to a religious Jewish family. From 1931-1934 she learned theatrical set design at the Institut des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels, and afterwards studied drawing at the Académie Royal des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp. In 1934 Lurie migrated to Palestine with most of her family and worked at various artistic activities. In 1939 she travelled to Europe to further her studies. World War II had begun while she was in Lithuania and during the Nazi occupation (1941-44) she was imprisoned in the Kovno ghetto along with the other Jews. As soon as she entered the ghetto, in mid-1941, Lurie began to sketch views of her new world. She has left behind a detailed written testimony of her life and work during World War II. This combination of literary and visual testimony make up a "living witness". Lurie drew everywhere in the ghetto, including the various workshops. Including a pottery workshop. During her visits there, Lurie got the idea of asking theJewish potters to prepare a number of jars for her. She would use these to conceal her art works if the situation worsened. After the deportation of 26 October 1943, in which 3,000 ghetto inmates were removed to forced labor camps in Estonia, Lurie hid her artcollection, approximately 200 drawings and watercolors, in the large jars she had prepared in advance. In July 1944, as the Red Army approached Lithuania, the ghetto was liquidated and those remaining were transferred to concentration camps and forced labor camps in Germany. The ghetto was set on fire and the buildings were blown up and burnt to prevent those hiding from escaping. Esther Lurie was sentto Stutthof concentration camp, leaving her hidden works behind. After the war some of her drawings were recovered, surviving with the Ältestenrat's archive. Avraham Tory succeeded in rescuing 11 sketches and watercolors and 20 of the photographs of her works. During the Eichmann trial, which took place in Jerusalem in 1961, Lurie's SecondWorld War works were exhibited as part of the testimony - giving an "official authorization" from Israel's Supreme Court to the rich documentary value of her sketches and watercolors. This is in addition to their aesthetic value as objects of art. SUBJECT(S): World War, 1939-1945 -- Pictorial works.

Original Wrappers. 8vo. 63 pages. 21 cm. Text by Kenneth M. Gould; foreword by Elmer Davis, drawings by Jacob Landau. Copyright 1942 by the International committee of Young men's Christian associations. One of the many pamphlets emerging during the war years and for a brief period of the post-war period which pushed for an inclusive democratic outlook and meant to combat prejudice and anti-semitism. This pamphlet traces intolerance in history in a few major sections, that of Religious Persecution, The Black Man’s Burden, The Jew as Scapegoat; with smaller sections devoted to the history of the term scapegoat, the scapegoating of Labor, or Foreign born in America, and of Masonry. A very interesting pamphlet, which both serves to tell of the history of intolerance in America and the immediate necessity of shifting away from that and democratizing society in the states, as well as serves to give reasons why the war is being fought, with a detailed description of anti-semitism in Germany and the need to defeat fascism everywhere. Includes appendix of questions and activities to help spur group discussions. With nine black and white drawings by Jacob Landau (1917-2001) , a printmaker, painter, humanist and teacher; he was an artist whose works explored the basic themes of human existence and morality with an insight that was both passionate and indignant. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he began as an illustrator, he lived most of his adult life in Roosevelt, New Jersey, a town founded in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative for, primarily, Jewish garment workers from New York City. The author of the foreword, Elmer Davis, (1890 –1958) was a well-known news reporter, author, and the Director of the United States Office of War Information during World War II, in the capacity of which Davis recommended to President Roosevelt that Japanese-Americans be permitted to enlist for service in the Army and Navy and urged him to oppose bills in Congress that would deprive Nisei of citizenship and intern them during the war. He argued that Japanese propaganda proclaiming it a racial war could be combated by deeds that counteracted this. This publication was published throughout the Holocaust and DP period, from 1942 until 1952, by the YMCA, and a seven page excerpted edition consisting of the drawings and selected passages was distributed by the Congress of Industrial Organizations as well. The booklet was featured in a 2022 exhibit on the American Jewish Committees work in the 1930s and 40s to combat hate at the New York Historical Society; see https://www.jpost.com/j-spot/article-712950.

In 1944, Eichmann, who directed the mass murders, made to a group of Zionists in Hungary an offer to save a million Jews if they would procure from the Western Allies 10,000 army lorries for the German forces. We have here the story of Joel Brand’s talks with the Nazi officials, his flight to Istanbul, his efforts to convince the officials of the Jewish Agency in Turkey and Palestine, and the British Intelligence Officers in Cairo, of the genuineness of the offer, and to get their co-operation. It was in vain. He was kept in suspense and for a time in detention. Meanwhile Jews in Hungary proceeded to the death camps; only a few thousands were allowed to leave for a neutral country. It is a fantastic story which taxes the credulity of the reader, and in Israel it has caused violent agitation, because the leader of the Zionist group was attacked there for col-laboration with the Nazis and the betrayal of his people. Though translated from the German, the narrative runs easily” (review by Norman Bentwich). Uniform title Geschichte von Joel Brand. Includes index. Illustrated end papers.

8vo; 560 pages; Original Publisher's Cloth. 8vo. 560 pages. Robinson & Friedman # 11. Includes large fold-out chart Robinson & Friedman: "The summaries of Jewish experience under the Nazi regime which were published before the defeat of Nazism were chiefly based on reports of newspapers, travelers, escapees, and underground organizations. After the war, new evidence poured in from various sources, both Jewish and non-Jewish. The materials of Nazi origin gave the history of that period an entirely new perspective. The postwar comprehensive works [such as this Black Book] had, then, a vantage point which was inaccessible to their predecessors." The Black Book was “an indictment of the Holocaust and documentation of evidence leading up to it commissioned by the World Jewish Congress. It was submitted for evidence at the Nuremberg Trials as evidence against the Nazis for crimes against the Jewish people. The book was prepared in 1946 by the Jewish Black Book Committee, which included the World Jewish Congress; the Jewish Anti Fascist Committee, USSR; Vaad Leumi, Palestine; and the American Committee of Jewish Writers, Artists, and Scientists. The Black Book is broken down into seven sections: Indictment, Conspiracy, The Law, Strategy of Decimation, Annihilation, Resistance, and Justice. Indictment: This section, written by Max Radin, outlines the accusations against the Nazis that the book makes. Radin gives three ways in which the Nazis killed Jews: pogrom, gas chamber, and starvation. He also accuses the Nazis of deliberately organizing society to put Jews at the bottom, indoctrinating children to think like Nazis, and robbing Jews of their property and driving them from their homes. Conspiracy: This section, written by Frances McClernan, describes the beginnings of Nazi antisemitism as a carefully organized plan that was a basic part of Nazi dynamics. First, the Nazis hid their plan to take over the world by accusing Jews of planning the same. Using pseudoscience and falsified history, they created something called the ‘Jewish World Plot’ where the Jews would exterminate Aryans and take over the world. The Nazis rejected the God of the Old Testament, since he was described as ‘the God of the Jews’. They would often selectively choose passages of the New Testament to support their ideology. In 1937, Dr. Heinz Weidemann, Bishop of Bremen, wrote a Nazified version of the Gospel of St. John. In order to indoctrinate children to Nazism, the Nazis not only had to educate the youth of Germany but also had to un-educate years of European culture. After ten years of Nazi propaganda and grooming society to believe that Jews were the enemy, they eventually came to actual violence in 1932 when shops were destroyed and people beaten. On March 29th of the following year, a boycott of Jewish businesses was ordered. Nazis spread antisemitism in any country they could. Often, they advertised antisemitism as a defensive front against communism. The Nazis made Jews the enemy of the Soviets, saying that the USSR was controlled by Jews living in prosperity while the people suffered. They also planted Judaism in any country they could to justify their aggression, such as using photographs as evidence that Franklin Roosevelt was a Jew. They used this to justify the war. The Law: This section, written by Anne L. Bloch, gives a history of all anti-Jew laws passed by the Nazis starting in April 1933 and extending throughout the war. These laws were based on what the 'Aryan Man' deemed right or wrong, and since Jews were considered a 'legal wrong' they had to be eliminated. Strategy of Decimation: This section, written by Gitel Poznanski, describes the three ways that the Nazis weakened the Jewish population before putting them into death camps. The first was expulsion - forcing the Jews out of Nazi-occupied land and into Poland or the USSR. This made them easier targets for slave labor later and severed any connections they may have made at home. The first arrests of Jews were for their ‘protection’, which quickly turned into the first detention camps in 1933. Using these camps as a threat, the Nazis forced Jews to emigrate very quickly, which often lead to illegal immigration. In Austria this process was much worse. In Germany the process of expulsion took place over about five years, but after the Anschluss the process was carried out in only a few months. Because of this there were over 3,500 deaths by suicide in the first year of the occupation, and the number of Jews in Austria shrunk from 180,000 to 55,000. Poznanski goes on to describe similar practices in many other Nazi-occupied countries: Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Norway, Denmark, Hungary, Greece, and Yugoslavia. The next process was the institution of slave labor. 165,000,000 Europeans were forced to work under threat of being sent to concentration camps. The Nazi strategy was not to treat them like valuable resources to be kept alive; instead they were 'worked to the point of debilitation' and ‘kept on the edge of starvation’. This practice was carried out in Germany, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium, France, and Poland. The last process was starvation. The book provides many graphs and figures of how much food was rationed to people in each occupied country. Germany always got the most food, and any food to be found in another country was pillaged so that ‘Germany ate while her subjects starved’. Annihilation: This section describes the grim Nazi death camps and how they came to be. Originally Nazis would kill the Jews using traditional methods of hanging and shooting, but these were found to be too slow and inefficient. To fix this problem, they started using the gas chamber as their main method of murder. When they realized that the tide of the war had turned and that they might be forced to answer for their crimes, the Nazis began to dig up the corpses of those who had been killed in gas chambers and burn them. In order to again make the process more efficient, crematoriums were built on the gas chambers. This section also provides many eyewitness accounts of the concentration camps, mostly prisoners of war. Resistance and Justice: These sections, written by Frances McClernan and B.Z. Goldberg respectively, are the two shortest in the book. The first, Resistance, describes how the Jewish people resisted during the war, and how some of them escaped. The second and last, Justice, states how everything documented in the book is not the complete record of Nazi crimes, and could never represent the ‘full horror of the Nazi nightmare’. The section also brings the book to a conclusion: ‘The objective of this effort was to bring before the world the basic pattern and the salient, incontestable facts of the murderous fascist conspiracy against the Jews.’ Initial reviews for The Black Book were mixed. Frederic Ewen called it ‘the most thoroughly documented and dramatic indictment of the Nazi atrocities available today’ and ‘a story which must be read for its horrible truth’. However, Hannah Arendt thought the book a technical failure, saying ‘The Black Book fails because its authors, submerged in a chaos of details, were unable to understand or make clear the nature of the facts confronting them’” (Wikipedia).One corner dented, paper browning (not fragile).

A decree of the Polish kingdom is found in the archives of the Gliniany community. The decree announced that the city of Gliniany was to be referred to as the “Royal Free City of Gliniany. ” The wordsKrolewstwo Wolny Miasto Gliniany are engraved on the seal of the city hall. Due to the privilege of appearing in the king's decree, the nobleman who owned the city no longer had the right to force residents of Gliniany to work for him as forced laborers. After the death of the Polish king, Casirmirz the Great, Polish senators traveled to Hungary and crowned King Ludwig of Hungary as king of Poland. The senators gave him the gift of the entirety of Galicia, which in those days was calledCherwony Rus [Red Russia], which was a part of Poland. When the issue became known in the kingdom of Poland, it caused tremendous dissatisfaction. In Gliniany a large meeting was held, which subsequently led to a political trial, because of the actions of the senators. Ludwig attended the trial together with a regiment of Hungarian hussars. The result of the trial was the beheading of seven Polish senators. In Polish history, the trial was known as ‘The Tragedy of Gliniany. ’ Many years ago there was a large district that covered a large territory. On one side there were fields and forests that extended all the way to the village of Khonochovka, near the city of Premyshlan. On the other side forests and fields stretched all the way to just south of Lemberg. Over time, the size of the territory that had belonged to the city declined, and in the 18th century the city of Gliniany, together with the neighboring gentile regions, included an area of approximately nine square miles. ” (translation from book) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Ukraine, Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) , Ethnic relations.

Yiddish, with English introduction. “There once was a town of Jewish tailors – Brzezin. From early dawn until late at night one could hear the music of the Singer sewing machines. It was the music of hard work, of intense anxiety, of a hard life, but also of noisy youth, semi-intellectuals, observant Jews, Hasidim who lived and had aspirations in the small Jewish town Brzezin. The Nazi savages extinguished this life forever, transformed it into ashes. Only a few Jews from the tailoring town Brzezin, by some miracle, remain, scattered over the entire world, individuals who were witnesses to the German cannibalism. May these words, frail in print, but inscribed not with ink but with blood, be a modest contribution to the matseve [gravestone] for my native town, Brzezin. Brzezin was one of the oldest and most popular Jewish communities in Poland. When this community was established, it carried the name Krakowek [Little Krakow]. At that time, the community extended from the Strykower highway to beyond the Jewish besoylem [cemetery] to the surrounding hills. The Polish noblewoman, Anna Lasocka, had brought the first weavers from afar into this community. Then the community developed even further and began to broaden its borders. At that time, the town already carried the name Brzezin. Jewish tailors came to Brzezin from many places, and after several generations, the town developed its own type of tailoring industry, by which it was known all over the world. A cottage industry was the main occupation here. As early as 1772, Brzezin was famous for its mass production in tailoring. Until 1914 the great Czarist Russia was flooded with the inexpensive products of Brzeziner tailors. In the years between the two world wars, the export of Brzezin industry was spread over many lands in Europe and into other parts of the world. In this, the great Jewish magaziners [owners of clothing enterprises] – exporters such as Frankensztejn, Tuszynski, Sulkowicz, and others played a great role. The Jews in Brzezin did not only work, they also participated actively in the socio-political and cultural life of the town, had their representatives on the town council – in town hall, and had their religious and secular educational, cultural, and social organizations. Materially, it was a life of Jewish poverty, but spiritually, socially, and culturally, it was rich. ” (translated from book) SUBJECT(S) : Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -- Poland -- Brzeziny (Lo´dz´) ; Jews.

First edition, original cloth boards with dust jacket. Horizontal 4to, xii, 458 pages. Photographs throughout. ”This volume combines dancers’ own views of their art with scholarly examinations of Jewish dance conducted in Europe, Israel, other Middle East areas, Africa, and the Americas. In seven parts, Seeing Israeli and Jewish Dance considers Jewish dance artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; the dance of different Jewish communities, including Hasidic, Yemenite, Kurdish, Ethiopian, and European Jews in many epochs; historical and current Israeli folk dance; and the contrast between Israeli and American modern and post-modern theater dance. Along the way, contributors see dance in ancient texts like the Song of Songs, the Talmud, and Renaissance-era illuminated manuscripts, and plumb oral histories, Holocaust sources, and their own unique views of the subject. A selection of 182 illustrations, including photos, paintings, and film stills, round out this lively volume. Many of the illustrations come from private collections and have never before been published, and they represent such varied sources as a program booklet from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and archival photos from the Israel Government Press Office.” (from inside dust jacket) Series: Raphael Patai series in Jewish folklore and anthropology; Variation: Raphael Patai series in Jewish folklore and anthropology.

Agudath Israel was founded in Kattowitz, German Empire (now Katowice, Poland), in 1912, with the purpose of providing an umbrella organization for observant Jews who opposed the Zionist movement. In Erez Israel, Agudat Yisrael was established as a branch of this movement, to provide opposition to the organized Jewish community (the "Yishuv"). One of its most authoritative spokesmen against the formation of a Jewish State, the Dutch poet Jacob Israël de Haan, was assassinated by the Haganah in 1924. In the wake of the Holocaust, anti-Zionist rabbis who led Agudat Israel recognized the great utility of a Jewish state, and it became non-Zionist, rather than anti-Zionist. It did not actively participate in the creation of Israel, but it ceased its opposition to it. In 1933, it entered into an agreement with the Jewish Agency, according to which Agudat Yisrael would receive 6.5% of the immigration permits. Eventually, at the eve of the Israeli Declaration of Independence (1948), Agudat Yisrael yielded to pressure from the Zionist movement, and has been a participant in most governments since that time. age staining, few tears, very brittle.

Schocken would support Buber financially, as well as other Jewish writers such as Gerschom Scholem and S. Y. Agnon. In 1930 he established the Schocken Institute for Research on Hebrew Poetry in Berlin, a research center intended to discover and publish manuscripts of medieval Jewish poetry. The inspiration for this project was his longstanding dream of finding a Jewish equivalent for the foundational literature of Germany, such as the German epic poem The Nibelungenlied. In 1931, he founded the publishing company Schocken Verlag, which printed books by German Jewish writers such as Franz Kafka and Walter Benjamin, making their work widely available; they also reprinted the Buber-Rosenzweig translation of the Bible. These initiatives earned him the nickname "the mystical merchant" from his friend Scholem. In 1933, the Nazis stripped Schocken of his German citizenship. They forced him to sell his German enterprises to Merkur AG, but he managed to recover some of his property after World War II.

The main contents of these pages are documents in which the Church comforts, teaches, admonishes and protests. These documents have to be read carefully.

"The primary mission of the American (Jewish) Joint Distribution Committee (AJDC) in Europe, has been to rehabilitate and reestablish or resettle the remnants of European Jewry left by Hitler's Germany. In accomplishing this mission, it became very obvious in the days immediately following the war, that one of the most difficult legal problems preventing the reestablishment of European Jewry in their countries of nationality, or in other countries all over the world, was the problem of obtaining declarations of death in the several European countries. The related problem of obtaining recognition and faith and credit from courts of other nations all over the world offered even more difficulties. It was clear that there was no uniform method of issuing cleclarations of death, nor was there any uniform approach by the other nations to recognize declarations of death.

Early pulication (1945) from just after liberation, documenting the Nazi Massacre at Lidice, Czechslovakia. On June 10, 1942 the village of Licide was totally destroyed by the members of the Ordnungspolizei and the SD (Sicherheitsdienst) in revenge for the assassination of Deputy Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Reinhard Heydrich on May 27, 1942. Soon after Heydrich's funeral, Hitler ordered that any town found to have hidden his killers was to be burned to the ground and leveled to the ground. All men over 16 were to be shot, women and children are to be sent to concentration camps with children who were suitable for "Germanisation" to be placed in SS families. The Nazis chose Lidice because its residents were suspected of harboring partisans and were falsely associated by aiding team members of "Operation Anthropoid" (code name for the assassination plot) . On June 10, 1942 Hitler's orders were carried out and Lidice and its citizens were obliterated.

Mortara grew up as a Catholic under the protection of Pope Pius IX—who refused his parents' desperate pleas for his return—and eventually became a priest. The domestic and international outrage against the pontifical state's actions may have contributed to its downfall amid the unification of Italy” (Wikipedia, 2018) .

The first Jews who had received call-up orders arrived two days later, and the first train to Auschwitz left on August 4. This building was chosen for two reasons. It was right next to a railroad and Malines is located between Brussels and Antwerp, where 90% of the Jews in Belgium lived. After the roundups started, the Jews were taken by trucks to the inner square inside the barracks where armed SS were awaiting them. After being registered and stripped of their identity papers and last personal possessions, the prisoners had to wear a card around their neck with their number for the next deportation train. There were various categories of prisoners, the biggest of which were those marked for direct deportation. The barracks could house 1, 000 persons, but at times more than 1, 700 were crammed into them, with about 100 people on bunk beds in dormitories only about 21 to 7 meters wide. Later, they had to sleep on straw bags on the floor. The guard duty on the perimeter was done by Flemish SS members, supervised by German Security Police”.

"Joseph Albo on Free Choice discovers unsuspected philosophical originality in the interpretations of biblical narrative found in Joseph Albo's Book of Principles, one of the most popular Hebrew works in the corpus of medieval Jewish philosophy. Several of Albo's exegetical analyses focus on free choice, which emerges as a conceptual scheme throughout his work. An exploration of Albo's innovative homiletical interpretations of the binding of Isaac, the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, the Book of Job, and God's choice of Israel, reveals his view of free choice which was significant during a historical period of religious coercion. Albo's sole surviving responsum dealing with the case of the qatlanit further demonstrates his philosophical position. In this new book, Shira Weiss shows that in the medieval era in which Albo lived, free choice was an important topic, subject to vehement debate that has continued to be contested in modern philosophy" (abstract) SUBJECT(S) : Philosophy, Medieval.

The Jews did not confine their demands merely to emigration; they connected them with the complex questions of Jewish national homelessness. Their demand was not limited to socio-economic assistance; they wanted a deeper look into the causes which had decimated the Jewish people to a degree and in a manner never before experienced by any other people in the world. In short, they did not present the international community with another refugee problem, or a Jewish Displaced Persons problem, but rather with the problem of the security of the entire Jewish people as revealed by the Holocaust. They sought a national-historical meaning for the Jewish fate during this period- and they found it in the struggle for the establishment of the State of Israel. ” SUBJECT (S) : World War, 1939-1945 -- Concentration camps -- Liberation.

Title translates to: “Contributions to the Khazar Problem. ” Holocaust-era Jewish imprint from Germany defending the theory that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews descended from the Khazar kingdom rather than from the ancient Middle-Eastern Israelites. Significant in the context of Nazi-Germany because of the use by Antisemites of the Khazar theory to label modern European Jews as “fakes”. “It is historically attested that for some 150 years Judaism was the official religion of the Khazars, a nation occupying the region between the Don and the Caspian; its chief monument in Jewish literature is the correspondence between the Spanish diplomat Hasdai ibn Shaprut and the Khazar sovereign Joseph. Grätz in his Geschichte der Juden (vol. V) gives an epitome of these documents, without questioning their genuineness; that, however, has been frequently disputed, and the purpose of this pamphlet is to rebut the arguments adduced in favor of their being forgeries of a later period. One of these is based on the Messianic hopes expressed by Hasdai, but Herr Landau is able to show that such were commonly harboured by Hasdai’s contemporaries. He is further able to produce a number of parallels to the phraseology of the letter from the writings of Menahem b. Saruk, who acted as Hasdai’s secretary. In the second part of his pamphlet he defends against Kokovcoc the authenticity of a document published by Schechter from the Geniza- collection in Cambridge, ostensibly of the tenth century, and which Herr Landau holds to have been addressed to Hasdai, and indeed to have been the source of the knowledge displayed in his letter about the affairs of the Khazars. ” (the abstract, Margoliouth) .

Binding: Paperback
Inscription: Signed, Inscribed Or Annotated
1st separate edition, original wrappers, 8vo. 13 pages. Reprint from the Israel law review, vol. 7, no. 1, January 1972. The author, Jacob Robinson (1889–1977) , was a “jurist, politician, diplomat, and Holocaust researcher…. After official Jewish representation was prohibited in Lithuania in 1927, Robinson organized an informal, ‘secret’ group to defend Jewish interests. With the outbreak of World War II and the incorporation of Vilna into Lithuania, this committee played a leading role in receiving Jewish refugees from Poland and integrating Vilna’s Jewish population into Lithuania. Robinson left Lithuania in May 1940 and reached the United States with his family in December of that year. In February 1941, he founded the Institute of Jewish Affairs (IJA) , the research arm of the American and World Jewish Congress, which he directed until 1947. The IJA’s main topics of research were the fate of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe; the question of reparation and indemnification; the legal basis for prosecuting Nazi criminals; and the promotion of the concept of human rights as a means for defending the rights of Jews. In 1945, Robinson advised U. S. Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson in Nuremberg and codrafted the ‘Jewish case’ presented to the International Military Tribunal. In 1946, he counseled chief prosecutor Telford Taylor on the Flick Case in Nuremberg. That same year, Robinson worked for the United Nations as an expert consultant to the team creating and establishing the Commission of Human Rights. In 1947 Robinson became legal adviser to the Jewish Agency at the UN and from 1948 to 1957 he was legal counsel to Israel’s delegation. Thanks to his previous experience, Robinson was instrumental in developing the Israeli diplomatic service. In 1952, he drafted the reparations agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) . His brother Nehemiah (1898–1964) was also a brilliant lawyer. He was Jacob’s close partner and successor as director of the IJA, and drafted the agreements between the FRG and the Claims Conference as well as the FRG’s Indemnification Law. In 1957, Robinson became the legal adviser for the Conference on Material Claims Against Germany, helped establish the research branch of Yad Vashem, and coordinated Holocaust research between several research Institutes (among them YIVO, Yad Vashem, Leo Baeck Institute, Wiener Library, and the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine) . Robinson also coordinated the collaboration of these and other Jewish institutions with the prosecution in trials against Nazi criminals. He was also the legal mind behind the prosecution at the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem (1960–1961) , serving as special assistant to the attorney general. Robinson edited the Holocaust section for the Encyclopedia Judaica (1971) and several volumes of documentary sources of the Holocaust. He also published several important bibliographic works on international law” (YIVO, 2018) . SUBJECT(S) : Nuremberg Trial of Major German War Criminals, Nuremberg, Germany, 1945-1946.

1st edition. Publisher’s original boards, 8vo, 169 pages. Inscribed by the author in the year of publication on the front end paper. Title translates as “Biblical Values, Human Values: Texts by Mordechai Segal with 12 Drawings by Marcel Jaco. ” Born in 1903 in Ukraine, Mordechai Segal lived in Israel from 1925 onward and is best known for founding the “Kibbutz Seminar, ” an academic college in Tel Aviv focused on education and pedagogy. Segal ran the seminar for its first 35 years (1939-74) and is credited, among others, for defining the new educational tools necessary for the “new” Israeli Jew. Segal developed his own unique pedagogical method (the “process method, ” which stressed student excursions and independent work outdoors or with arts and crafts) for younger Israeli teachers, would then take his approach with them to disperate kibbutzim and moshavim across Israel. “The single role of (kibbutz) education, ” he wrote, “is to attend to porosities of the spirit of the child to remain always clean and open to the vitality of everyday life that is around him. ” Less well known are Segal’s reflections on Jewish spirituality and scripture, collected in this volume from 1955 and long out of print. The collection is especially unique for including 12 drawings by the acclaimed Romanian and Israeli avant-garde artist Marcel “Moshe” Jaco. Jaco was the co-inventor of Dadaism, one of the most important and definitive art movements of the 20th century, and edited (along with other modern art luminaries Tristan Tzara and Ion Vinea) the Romanian literary and art magazine Simbolul (The Symbol) . After delaying his leave from Europe well into the war, Jaco finally fled Hitler and moved to Palestine in 1941, bringing his extended family and other Holocaust escapees with him. In early Israel Jaco worked on developing the State’s national park system, but was most famous for helping establish the community of Ein Hod, a utopian artist’s colony near Haifa, built on the ruins of a desert Palestinian village of the same name.

Born in Serijai (Lithuania – then Russia) , Robinson graduated from the law school of the University of Warsaw, served in the Russian army, and was for a time in German captivity. He returned to what became independent Lithuania, entered into Jewish public life, and pioneered in the building of a Hebrew school system. For three years, he was director of the Hebrew Gymnasium in Verbalis. In 1922 he was admitted to the bar and in the same year was elected to the Lithuanian parliament, holding office as chairman of the Jewish faction and leader of the minorities bloc until its dissolution in 1926. With the emergence of the Nazi threat to European Jewry, he organized a secret committee for the protection of Jewish rights and used his connections for admission of German Jews to Lithuania. He left Lithuania at the end of May 1940, and later reached New York, where, in 1941, he established the Institute of Jewish Affairs sponsored by the American and the World Jewish Congress. Robinson was the author of numerous books and articles on international law and organization, and Jewish affairs.

1st edition, 12mo, original wrappers, with dust jacket, 219 pages. This book provides a condensed picture of the Nazi occupation in Poland. It is based on documents collected by the Main Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland. The occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the Second World War (1939-1945) began with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and formally concluded with the defeat of Nazism by the Allies in May 1945. Throughout the entire course of foreign occupation, the territory of Poland was divided between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. In summer-autumn of 1941 the lands annexed by the Soviets were overrun by Nazi Germany in the course of the initially successful German attack on the USSR. After a few years of fighting, the Red Army was able to repel the invaders and drive the Nazi forces out of the USSR and across Poland from the rest of Eastern and Central Europe. Both occupying powers were equally hostile to the existence of sovereign Poland, her culture and the Polish people, aiming at their destruction. Before Operation Barbarossa, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union coordinated their Poland-related policies, most visibly in the four Gestapo-NKVD Conferences, where the occupants discussed plans for dealing with the Polish resistance movement and future destruction of Poland. About 6 million Polish citizens - nearly 21.4% of Poland's population - died between 1939 and 1945 as a result of the occupation, half of whom were Polish Jews. Over 90% of the death toll came through non-military losses, as most of the civilians were targeted by various deliberate actions by Germans and the Soviets. Overall, during German occupation of pre-war Polish territory, 1939-1945, the Germans murdered 5, 470, 000 - 5, 670, 000 Poles, including nearly 3, 000, 000 Jews. This volume is profusely illustrated with numerous b/w photographic reproductions. Dust jacket has some wear, especially on the spine, internally very good condition, Good Condition Overall (AC-4-17)

1st edition, original cloth, 8vo, x, 229 pages, Judaism and the Visual Image argues for a Jewish theology of image that, among other things, helps us re-read the creation story in Genesis 1 and to question why images of Jewish women as religious subjects appear to be doubly suppressed by the Second Commandment, when images of observant male Jews have become legitimate, even iconic, representations of Jewish holiness. Raphael further suggests that 'devout beholding' of images of the Holocaust is a corrective to post-Holocaust theologies of divine absence from suffering that are infused by a sub-theological aesthetic of the sublime. Raphael concludes by proposing that the relationship between God and Israel composes itself into a unitary dance or moving image by which each generation participates in a processive revelation that is itself the ultimate work of Jewish art.

" Stanislaw Wygodzki (1907-1992) was a Polish writer of Jewish origin. He published his first volume of poetry in 1933 before the Nazi occupation of Poland, during which Wygodzki was first interred in the Bedzin ghetto and later in the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Dachau, Oranienburg and Sachsenhausen. His health impacted by his experiences, Wygodzki did not resume publishing until 1947, becoming a successful writer and publishing poetry, short stories and one novel. Wygodzki, who lost his wife, daughter and parents in Auschwitz, was one of four winners of the 1969 "Remembrance Award", awarded annually by the World Federation of Bergen-Belsen Associations for "excellence in literature on the Nazi atrocities against European Jewry". A communist in his youth who was briefly imprisoned in Poland as an adult for his communist activities, Wygodzki resettled in Israel in 1968 in response to antisemitism in the Communist Party in Poland.

Despite the occupation of Poland by hostile powers, the government-in-exile exerted considerable influence in Poland during World War II through the structures of the Polish Underground State and its military arm, the Armia Krajowa (Home Army) resistance. Abroad, under the authority of the government-in-exile, Polish military units that had escaped the occupation fought under their own commanders as part of Allied forces in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

" The Vaad Hatzala (literally, "rescue committee" in Hebrew) was created by the Executive Committee of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada at an emergency meeting held in New York in 1939. Originally named "The Emergency Committee for War-Torn Yeshivot, " the name was later changed to "The Emergency Committee for Relief, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction" as the organization's activities expanded after World War II. It became best known as the "Vaad Hatzala. " While the organization's headquarters were located in New York, branches were established throughout Europe both during and after the war, including Germany, France, and Switzerland. The organization's initial purpose was to raise funds for groups of rabbis, yeshiva students and their families stranded in Vilna, Lithuania after fleeing eastern Poland following the Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939. The Vaad did succeed in actually taking out thousands of Jews from concentration camps and bringing them to Switzerland in 1945, transmitting great sums of money to their agents to negotiate with German officials. Following the end of the Second World War, the Vaad's activities, centered in Germany and France, consisted of distributing funds and shipments of food and religious books to Displaced Persons camps in Germany and newly established yeshivot. It provided spiritual rehabilitation to remnants of Jewish communities destroyed during the Holocaust, while arranging for visas to the United States for refugee rabbinical teachers and students.

In 1939, Jews constituted some 37% of the town's population. In March 1941 - still before the formal decision to implement the "Final Solution" which meant the wholesale extermination of the Jews - German Orpo battalions rampaged for three days in Siedlce, killing many of its Jewish inhabitants. In August of the same year the Jews were forced into the new Siedlce Ghetto. It consisted of several small city blocks and over a dozen walkable streets in the city centre. On 1 October 1941 the ghetto was completely cut off from the outside world. In August 1942 some 10, 000 Siedlce Jews were deported to Treblinka and murdered there together with a similar number of Jews from three nearby transit ghettos: in Losice, holding local Jews and families from Huszlew, Olszanka, and Swiniarów; in Sarnaki, with Jews from Górki, Kornica, Lysów; and the third transit ghetto with prisoners from Mordy, Krzesk-Królowa Niwa, Przesmyki, Stok Ruski, and Tarków.

Edition: First Edition
Binding: Broadside
1st Separate Edition. 6 X 13 Inches : Text Front and Back, accompanied by a photo of Gruen. “Reprinted from ‘The American Hebrew, ’ November 1, 1940.” By the 1930s, significantly-sized Jewish communities had grown up around farming towns like Farmingdale, New Jersey. The farmers built synagogues and community centers, held religious services, and celebrated Jewish holidays together. During the Depression, they raised money to help those in need, and during the years of World War II, they collected money, knitted, and sent care packages to Jews overseas. They also absorbed some of the Displaced Persons who arrived in the U. S. And were willing to work on farms. Indeed, some of these D. P. S even established their own farms, with the help of the Jewish Agricultural Society. Oscar Gruen was himself a recently arrived European refugee and was the Associate Publisher and Editor of the American Hebrew at the time of this article’s publication. Gruen (1890-1953) was also the founding editor of the first Jewish news bureau, the Juedische Pressezentrale, which published a weekly edition in Zurich from 1917 to 1940. Grün began the Pressezentrale in the wake of World War I in order to counteract what he saw as international agitation against Jews. In 1919, Grün was a member of the committee which, under the leadership of Louis Marshall, presented the Jewish case to the Paris Peace Conference and secured the inclusion of the "minority rights clause" in the various constitutions of the newly established states in Central Europe. As editor of one of the world’s leading Jewish periodicals, Grün witnessed firsthand many of the most important Jewish-related events of the time, including the 20th Zionist Congress (1937) and the Evian Conference (1938) .

Early Nazi-era speech damning Hitler, given at the New York scholarly institution which, under the leadership of the author, would come to be most associated with refugee scholars. “Charles Austin Beard (1874 – 1948) was, with Frederick Jackson Turner, one of the most influential American historians of the first half of the 20th century. For a while he was a history professor at Columbia University but his influence came from hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. His works included a radical re-evaluation of the founding fathers of the United States, who he believed were motivated more by economics than by philosophical principles. Beard's most influential book, An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States (1913) , has been the subject of great controversy ever since its publication. ” (Wikiepdia, 2017) He was married to Mary Ritter Beard, widely influential historian, archivist, and activist, who played a critical role in the women’s suffrage movement. This is his historic speech criticizing Hitler, in the year Hitler assumed power, at the New School in New York City: “The history of the past four hundred years is in large measure the history… to wrest from arbitrary and irresponsible power the weapons of tyranny. ” SUBJECT(S) : Politics and government.

When visitors came, the band sometimes had to play in order to cover up the punishment of prisoners, or to serve as an advertisement for the good treatment of the Buchenwald inmates.

Aaron Walden, a “Polish Jewish Talmudist, editor, and author” used Azulai’s book as a model, dividing his book into two parts: “‘Ma’areket Gedolim, ’ being an alphabetical list of the names of authors and rabbis, mostly those that lived after Azulai, but also including many of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries who were omitted by Azulai; and ‘Ma’areket Safarim’ an alphabetical list of book-titles” (Wikipedia, 2016) .

Peck, born in a DP camp in Landsberg, Germany, is a prolific Holocaust scholar, professor, and former advisor to Elie Wiesel. A brief history of the study of DP camps and of the lives of Holocaust survivors after the war. “Precious little scholarly attention has been given to these areas. The reasons for such a state of affairs are numerous, ranging from the previous general inattention paid to the Holocaust (a phenomenon now corrected perhaps to excess) , to the problem, especially in America, of linguistic competency among graduate students and even accomplished scholars, to the very real problem of artificial periodization in which the twin pillars of Holocaust and Redemption allow little room for self-standing research areas between them. ” Interestingly, there appears to be a typo in this offprint. Division B of the Eighth World Congress of Jewish Studies was “The History of the Jewish People. ” Division A was “The Period of the Bible. ” Given the pagination and subject, this was likely part of Division B.

Title Translates into English as, “Judaism as a Race and a Religion; From the Conference At The Circle Of Saint-Simon, On 27 January 1883.” “Joseph Ernest Renan (1823 – 1892) was a French expert of Semitic languages and civilizations (philology) , philosopher, historian, and writer, devoted to his native province of Brittany. He is best known for his influential historical works on early Christianity, and his political theories, especially concerning nationalism and national identity. Renan is credited as being among the first scholars to advance the Khazar theory, which held that Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of Turkic peoples who had adopted Jewish religion and migrated to Western Europe following the collapse of their khanate…. In his 1883 lecture ‘Le Judaďsme comme race et comme Religion’ he disputed the concept that Jewish people constitute a unified racial entity in a biological sense, which made his views unpalatable within racial antisemitism. Renan was also known for being a strong critic of German ethnic nationalism, with its antisemitic undertones. ” (Wikipedia, 2016) A very clean first edition copy of Renan’s 1883 lecture.
