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).

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. Between 1, 300 and 1, 500 Jewish men, women, and children were killed during this operation. A few dozen skilled laborers were left alive and employed in a workshop.

(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?

Filmography: page 131. Sephiha (1923–) is a “Judeo-Spanish linguist and activist. Sephiha was born in Brussels to a Sephardi family from Istanbul. During the German occupation of Belgium, he was arrested in 1943 and deported to Auschwitz in September. He survived the death camp, where his father perished. After liberation, he resumed his studies in natural sciences, graduating in 1948 and working as a chemical engineer; however, he eventually decided to study and defend the linguistic and cultural heritage of his community. His understanding of the language is based on a clear distinction between its two fundamental modalities. Sephiha, who retired in 1991, was instrumental in securing academic acceptance and public support for the “agonizing language” he spoke and taught. Besides his scientific and popular publications, from 1972 he launched several calls for revival of the language and in 1979 founded the “Association Vidas Largas for the Defense and Promotion of the Judeo-Spanish Language and Culture, ” which organizes educational work in Sephardi communities as well as the rescue of literary, musical, and architectural treasures. Judeo-Spanish has since been included among the recognized minority languages of France. In 2003, Sephiha inaugurated at the Auschwitz site a memorial in honor of the 160, 000 Judeo-Spanish victims of the Holocaust” (Wilke in EJ 2007) . Bumped corners and edges. Wear to binding.

Jewish Communities in the Modern World; 377 pages; Until the publication of this remarkably comprehensive history of the Sephardi diaspora, only limited attention had been given to the distinctive Judeo-Spanish cultural entity that flourished in the Balkans and Asia Minor for more than four centuries. Yet the great majority of Sephardi Jews, after their expulsion from Spain in 1492 and subsequently from Portugal, found their way to this region, drawn by the political stability and relatively tolerant rule of the Ottoman Empire, as well as by promising socioeconomic conditions. Esther Benbassa and Aron Rodrigue show how Sephardi society and culture developed in the Levant, sharing language, religion, customs, and communal life as they did nowhere else, both during prosperous times and during the declining fortunes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The impact of westernization, the end of Ottoman power, and the rise of fragmenting nation-states transformed this vital community in the modern era. And, like many other Jewish communities, the unique Judeo-Spanish culture was dispersed and destroyed by the Holocaust and the migrations of the twentieth century. Sephardi Jewry presents its vivid history in a readable, well-documented narrative. "The most complete and thorough historical synthesis ever written in a European language on the Jewish communities of the Balkans and Turkey."--Michel Abitbol, L'arche"A rich and too-little-known history that successfully avoids twin snares: the myth of the irreparable decadence of oriental Judaism and the myth of the lost golden age of Spain."--Alain Dieckhoff, Les Nouveaux Cahiers"The authors illuminate the variety of responses--between the poles of westernizing and holding onto tradition--offered by these Jewish societies of the Levantine Sephardi cultural area to the processes of modernization, as well as their startling receptivity to the new ideologies of zionism and socialism that marked the end of the nineteenth century." --Annales .

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).

Die Grundidee für diese Edition bestand und besteht darin, die Opfer mit ihrer eigenen Stimme selbst zu Wort kommen zu lassen, um ihre Schicksale namentlich für immer festzuschreiben. Hier werden insgesamt 82 Bücher von 23 Autorinnen und 59 Autoren präsentiert sowie 17 Interviews aus den 1980er Jahren, an denen je 10 Frauen und Männer beteiligt waren. Die 82 Bücher stellen etwa ein Viertel meiner Edition von derzeit etwa 350 Titeln dar; etliche weitere mögliche Titel wurden hier nicht berücksichtigt, um den Umfang in Grenzen zu halten. 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.

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.

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.

1st US edition. Original Cloth in dust jacket, 8vo, x, 310 pages, 22 cm. “This book gives a personal record of an amazing incident of the second World War, when the Nazis were exterminating the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe. 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.

Edition: First Edition
Binding: Black Cloth
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).

1st edition. Original cloth. 4to, 307 pages. Yiddish. “The shtetl of Gliniany once played a large role in Polish history. 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.

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.

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.

But the cruel, heartless persecutions of the Jews in Germany by Hitler and his crew, caused a stirring in the blood of Native Americans of Jewish birth that made them turn about and recall the religion of their fathers and the God of Israel.

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.

He immigrated to New York City in 1915, and attended City College.....In 1924, he joined the Communist Party, and in....1935, Jerome became editor of The Communist which later became Political Affairs, and served in that position until 1955....Jerome was among the cultural spokesmen of the Communist Party, and rose in the party hierarchy during the mid-1930s ....Between 1935 and 1965 Jerome wrote constantly. He wrote two autobiographical novels, A Lantern for Jeremy (released during the "Foley Square Trials" in 1952) , and its sequel, The Paper Bridge (published posthumously in 1966) . He also published a collection of vignettes entitled Unstill Waters (1964) . A prolific writer, he turned out short stories, plays, and literary and art criticism. Victor Jerome is best known, however, for his political and cultural essays. Among these are "The Intellectuals and the War" (1940) , "The Negro in Hollywood Films" (1950) , and "Culture in a Changing World" (1948) . Victor Jerome was prosecuted and convicted under the Smith Act for committing an 'overt act' for writing a pamphlet - "Grasp the Weapon of Culture" - that Jerome presented as a report to the Communist Party. He was indicted with sixteen other Communist leaders in 1951. Following a nine month trial in New York's Foley Square Courthouse - Jerome passed the long hours in court writing poetry and reading page proofs of "A Lantern for Jeremy" - Jerome was convicted and sentenced in 1953 to three years at Lewisburg Penitentiary, that he served between 1954 and 1957' (Wikipedia)., ok 2020/4

And during this time of struggle it has received gifts which it wishes to pass on to the sister-churches also. The purpose of this publication, therefore, is to let the Church speak for itself. The main contents of these pages are documents in which the Church comforts, teaches, admonishes and protests. These documents have to be read carefully. They are precious, for those who composed them and those who read them for the pulpit were in great danger and risked much when giving this witness.

"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.

1st edition, Original photographic wrappers, 8vo, 28 pages plus 8 plates of photos. In Czech. 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. Light wear, expected toning to paper, margins of some photo plates are a bit wavy with stains, but are otherwise very good. (KH-9-12)

Hardcover, viii, 345 pages, 8vo, 23 cm. Postwar look at the problems of denazification and reconstruction. Almond (1911-2002) was "a U. S. Political scientist, credited with inventing modern comparative political science. Born in Rock Island, Illinois, Almond was the son of Russian and Ukrainian immigrants. His father was a rabbi. A student at the University of Chicago, he went on to earn his doctorate in 1938; but his thesis, Plutocracy and Politics in New York City, was not published until 1998. The work contained psychoanalyses of several wealthy New Yorkers, including unflattering references to John D. Rockefeller, a principal benefactor of the university. Charles Merriam, chair of the political science department, refused to recommend the thesis for publication unless the offending material was removed. Almond refused. The thesis remained in the stacks of the University of Chicago library, where it became an underground classic among scholars. It was finally published by Westview Press. Almond taught political science at Brooklyn College from 1939. During World War II he was head of the Enemy Information Section at the War Information Office (1942-44) . After the war he was professor of political science at Princeton, Yale, and Stanford. He also taught at universities in England, Japan, Brazil, and the Ukraine. He was elected chairman of the Social Science Research Council's Committee on Comparative Politics and, in 1966, president of the American Political Science Association. Almond's Appeals of Communism (1954) , an empirical study of the attractions and weaknesses of Communism, was significant for its treatment of the psycho-sociological background of political behavior.

It was the third attempt to establish such a body in the United States. Its two predecessors were both called the American Jewish Publication Society; the first was founded by Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia in 1845 and discontinued in 1851, and the second was founded by a New York group and lasted from 1873 to 1875. The third effort, responding to the needs of a rapidly growing Jewish population, proved successful. The organizational meeting was called in Philadelphia, then still considered the cultural capital of the United States, by Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf and Dr. Solomon Solis-Cohen. The Society functions through a board of trustees, usually with a businessman as president. (EJ, Grayzel) In good condition. (HOLO2-8-5), MISSING 06/12

It concerned the Papal States' seizure from a Jewish family in Bologna of one of their children, six-year-old Edgardo Mortara (August 27, 1851 - March 11, 1940) , on the basis of a former servant's testimony that she had administered emergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant. 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) .

He spent WWII in New York, teaching at the New School for Social Research. In the social field, he was vice president of the Jewish Colonization Association, board member of Alliance Israélite Universelle and ORT-Union, and a founder of the Centrale d'Oeuvres Sociales Juives in Brussels. He directed the Research Institute for Peace and Postwar Problems of the American Jewish Committee and from 1959 the Centre National des Hautes Etudes Juives, financed by the Belgian government. As president of the Belgian Committee for Refugees from Nazi Germany, he was instrumental in the rescue of the passengers from the ship St. Louis, which was sent back from Cuba and finally permitted to land in Antwerp. Gottschalk wrote numerous publications in Jewish and non-Jewish fields. (EJ, 2007) Great condition in good jacket. (Holo2-12-15), ok 2020/4

Imprint: Martyrs' And Heroes' Remembrance Authority, 2004
Softcover, 503 pages, 8vo. "We devote nearly half of volume 32 of Yad Vashem Studies to various aspects of the Holocaust in [Hungary]. Six articles by both established and lesser-known scholars break new ground in Holocaust research and analysis. Randolph Braham reassesses rescue operations in Hungary, focusing on six major operations. He makes penetrating, critical observations on the motivations, objectives, strategies, and tactics of the Jewish, Hungarian, and German participants involved. Most importantly, Braham differentiates between what he sees as the myths and the realities that were related in many postwar accounts of the rescue of Jews in Hungary....László Karsai presents a first analysis of war crimes' trials in Hungary by the Hungarian People's Courts. ...Guy Miron and Anna Szalai look at Jewish reactions to the anti-Jewish laws passed in Hungary and, in the process, reveal a great deal about Hungarian Jewish identity on the eve of the Holocaust there. ...Three articles in this volume relate to Polish-Jewish relations and interactions before and during the Holocaust. Dariusz Libionka's analysis of the attitudes of the Polish Catholic intellectual press toward the Jews in the 1930s makes for devastating reading. ...Felicja Karay discusses the fascinating and strange case of the HASAG-Kielce forced-labor camp...Edward Kossoy tells the remarkable story of a group of 400 Jewish prisoners in the Gesiówka camp in Warsaw, who were liberated by a volunteer Polish force during the first days of the Polish uprising in Warsaw in August 1944....Three articles address the impact of new battlegrounds on the Holocaust as perceived from three different perspectives--the Germans, the Jews, and the Allies. Dan Michman returns to one of the best-known documents from the Holocaust--Heydrich's Schnellbrief--and asks the simple yet heretofore unaddressed question: why was it written? .... The late Raquel Hodara analyzes the activities and reactions of Polish Jewish women to the Nazis during the first months of the occupation. .... And finally, Nicholas Terry re-examines the level of information and comprehension of the Holocaust in British military intelligence circles during the first months of the systematic murder of the Jews. ...The volume concludes with five review articles on books by German, American, and Israeli authors. Joachim Neander reviews three new books on the SS economic administration and the forced labor that it employed; Yaacov Lozowick reviews Isabel Heinemann's book on the SS-Race and Resettlement Main Office; Judith Baumel reviews Nechama Tec's book on women, men, and the Holocaust; Michael Berenbaum reviews Dan Michman's book on Holocaust historiography from a Jewish perspective; and Nathan Cohen reviews the encyclopedia of Holocaust literature edited by Lillian Kremer. Two important aspects of the Holocaust that are highlighted in the contents of this volume--the Holocaust in Hungary and the individual--are reflected in the cover photos. Sándor Markovits's pocket watch individualizes fourteen Hungarian Jews from Simleul Silvaniei (Szilágysomlyó) whom the Nazis set out to murder in 1944, in their last-ditch effort to complete the "Final Solution. " In the background we see the faces of Hungarian Jews deported from the Carpathian Mountains to Birkenau at nearly exactly the same moment in history at which the Markovits family was deported.
