Imprint: New York; American Jewish Conference, 1945
Edition: First Edition
Binding: Hardback
Staple bound leaves. 4to. 4 pages. 28 cm. First edition. No. 56, Dated April 6, 1945. Topics include UN and governmental decisions regarding Palestine, the death of former British Prime Minister Lloyd George, Russian and South African Jewish representatives to the Conference, and upcoming radio program related to the Conference. The “American Jewish Conference [was a] representative American organization established in 1943 at the initiative of B'nai B'rith to deal with the problems of Palestine and the European Holocaust. Originally composed of representatives of all major Jewish groups and delegates from local Jewish communities, the Conference was given direction from Zionist bodies which sought a pro-Zionist declaration by a body representing American Jewry as a whole. Such a declaration was overwhelmingly adopted at its New York assembly in August 1943. As a result, the American Jewish Committee seceded from the Conference. Nevertheless, the organization submitted a series of pro-Zionist statements to official national and international bodies and waged a public relations campaign until its dissolution in 1949.” (EJ 2007) Subjects: Jews -- United States -- Politics and government -- Periodicals.

Using survey data and research sourced from previous studies, Maass constructs a comprehensive description of motivations leading to name changes for immigrants to the United States and the individual and cultural impacts of these changes. “The name changers acted in the belief that a new cognomen would enhance their adjustment.

Imprint: New York: American Jewish Committee, 1995
Edition: First Edition
Binding: Paperback
Original Wrappers. 8vo. Vi, 49 pages. 22 cm. First edition. Six color graphs describing survey data relating to public opinion and knowledge about the Holocaust. An essay by James Young concerning popular opinion and knowledge of the Holocaust based on the findings of a series of surveys by The American Jewish Committee starting in 1992 and continuing after the publication of this essay. The topics contained within the survey questions include Holocaust literature, specific Holocaust history and Holocaust Memorial sites. “James E. Young is Professor of English and Judaic Studies, and Chair, Judaic Studies Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. ” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, ushmm.org) “Young's scholarly work focuses on historical memory and memorialization, and in particular the aesthetics and politics of Holocaust memorials, on which he is a recognized authority. Young's insight that ‘the motives of memory are never pure’ informs his examination of the ways in which contemporary political commitments and exigencies shape what is remembered and how it is memorialized, and how a memorial may become part of a reductive political mythology. He proposes that the ‘countermonument’ – a work of art that interrogates and undermines intended, official meaning – is the best guarantor that viewers will experience a more genuine sense of historical memory not entirely mediated by a heroic or redemptive national narrative. ” (EJ 2007) Subjects: Holocaust Memorials.

The CBF formed the Jewish Refugees Committee (JRC) as its case-working body and financed its activities. The purpose of this Committee was to assist Jewish refugees from Central Europe in the United Kingdom. The CBF also aided settlement in Palestine, and facilitated various emigration schemes. The CBF assumed a blanket guarantee vis-à-vis the British government that the refugees from Nazi oppression would not become a burden on public funds. When the number of refugees from Germany and Austria reached 60, 000 at the outbreak of World War II, the British government agreed to subsidize the work of the JRC. ” (EJ 2007) Subjects: Political refugees.

Edition: First Edition
Binding: Paperback
Original Wrappers. 8vo. 38 pages. 20 cm. First edition. No. 11 in the David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs series. Presented March 17, 2004. “In the decade and a half following the end of World War II, that global conflagration which brought about the death of one-third of the Jewish people and the destruction of much of European Jewish communal life, American Jewry found many times, places, and modes of expression to articulate its intense reactions to that calamity. While historians may find it difficult, if not nearly impossible, to recreate the ways in which individual Jews talked about this catastrophic event in their homes or how they incorporated direct references and analogies to it into the discourse of their private spheres of everyday life, Jewish institutions – synagogues, schools, summer camps, publishing houses, magazines and newspapers – left an easily recoverable paper trail that reveals a community that felt itself obliged to remember and commemorate. These formal institutions of American Jewish life, spanning a spectrum of ideologies and political positions vis-à-vis the concerns of the day, wove the details of the catastrophe into their rhetorical repertoires and used references to it to shape their political projects. ” (Page 1) .

Published in association with the Institute for Polish-Jewish Studies, Oxford. “By the end of the 17th century probably three quarters of world Jewry dwelt within the borders of the Polish republic, which became not only a haven from persecution but the centre of a flourishing Jewish culture. This culture survived the decline and partition of the Polish state and in the 19th century became the seedbed for the intellectual movements that were to transform the Jewish world - zionism, secularism, socialism and neo-orthodoxy. With the development of mass emigration from the late 19th century onwards, the influence of Jews from the former Polish Republic was carried to Western Europe, North and South America, South Africa and Australasia. The Jews in Poland focuses on the relationship of the Jews to the other peoples with whom they lived - sometimes in harmony, sometimes in conflict - to offer a general outline of the most significant factors in the evolution of Jewish life in Poland from the beginnings of Jewish settlement to the present day. ” (Publishers description) .

Edition: First Edition
Binding: Paperback
Original Wrappers. 8vo. 99 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Russian. A history of the Baranovichi Ghetto and the Koldychevo Camp. “On the eve of the Holocaust, 12, 000 Jews lived in Baranovichi. Under Soviet rule (1939–41) , Jewish community organizations were disbanded and any kind of political or youth activity was forbidden. Some youth groups organized flight to Vilna, which was then part of Lithuania, and from there reached Palestine. The Hebrew Tarbut school became a Russian institution. A Jewish high school did continue to function, however. In the summer of 1940 Jewish refugees from western Poland who had found refuge in Baranovichi after September 1939 were deported to the Soviet interior. When Germans captured the city on June 27, 1941, 400 Jews were kidnapped, leaving no trace. A Judenrat was set up, headed by Joshua Izikzon. The community was forced to pay a fine of five kg. Of gold, ten kg. Of silver, and 1, 000, 000 rubles. The ghetto was fenced off from the outside on Dec. 12, 1941. The ghetto inhabitants suffered great hardship that winter, although efforts were made to alleviate the hunger. The Jewish doctors and their assistants fought to contain the epidemics. On March 4, 1942, the ghetto was surrounded. In a Selektion carried out by the Nazis to separate the "productive" from the "nonproductive", over 3, 000 elderly persons, widows, orphans, etc. , were taken to trenches prepared in advance and murdered. Resistance groups, organized in the ghetto as early as the spring of 1942, collected arms and sabotaged their places of work. Plans for rebellion were laid, but the uprising never came to pass, partly due to German subterfuge. In the second German Aktion on Sept. 22, 1942, about 3, 000 persons were murdered. On Dec. 17, 1942, another Aktion was carried out, in which more than 3, 000 persons were killed near Grabowce. Baranovichi was now declared judenrein . At the end of 1942 Jews were already fighting in groups among the partisans. A few survivors from the ghetto were still in some of the forced labor camps in the district, but most of them were liquidated in 1943. On July 8, 1944, when the city was taken by the Soviet forces, about 150 Jews reappeared from hiding in the forests. Later a few score more returned from the U. S. S. R. ” (EJ 2007) ”Koldychevo Camp (Koldyczewo) , forced labor camp in Belorussia, located 11 miles from Baranovichi, established by the Germans in late 1941. In November 1942 a crematorium was constructed in which some 600 people were incinerated. It later became an extermination camp in which Russians and Polish underground members were interned along with the Jews transferred from the surrounding ghettos of Baranovichi, Nowogrodek, Slonim , and others. Jews were separated from the other prisoners and the camp in the stables of what had once been a farm. Prior to the camp's liquidation on June 29, 1944, more than 22, 000 inmates were murdered and buried in 38 mass graves in and around the camp. A prisoner, Dr. Zelik Levinbrook, supplied medicine to the partisans with the help of a former patient. An active Jewish resistance, headed by Shlomo Kushnir, a former shoemaker, existed in Koldychevo. Its arms supply was meager: two guns, four grenades, and some acid. On the night of March 17, 1944, it succeeded in leading almost all the Jewish inmates out of the camp after killing ten Nazi guards and poisoning the guard dogs. Kushnir committed suicide when he was caught with 25 others. Seventy five prisoners survived. The rest joined the partisans in the forest. ” (EJ 2007) .

Jost kept the photographs private until the early 1980’s, shortly before his death. They weren’t published or shown publicly until this exhibition by Yad Vashem and the Smithsonian Institute in 1988. Although Jost’s intention in documenting the horrors of ghetto life were never made explicit, his sentiments are related in the beginning of the booklet. “I had invited some comrades to a birthday supper me [sic] that evening. I don’t want to say how I felt during the meal. I lost my appetite. In my letters home I didn’t say anything about what I’d seen. I didn’t want to upset my family. I thought, ‘What sort of world is this? ’ I didn’t tell my army comrades anything either. Later on, too, when they burnt down the Ghetto, we didn’t pay any attention. ” (Page [5]) .

A massive, oversized hardcover of more than 750 pages, The Holocaust Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures is an excitingly unique, not for-profit endeavor that is a personal project of the publisher, Louis Weber, C. E. O. Of Chicago-based Publications International, Ltd. ‘As a book publisher, I am in a unique position to create this ambitious project, ’ Weber says. The son of Polish Jews who settled in America in the 1920s, Weber conceived The Holocaust Chronicle in order to give something back to the Jewish community, and to bring the truth of the Holocaust to as many people as possible. The mission of The Holocaust Chronicle is to report the facts, clearly and free of bias or agenda. Featured are more than 2000 photographs selected after intensive research in the collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D. C. And Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, as well as other archives and private collections located around the world. Many of these images are in full color and most are published in book form for the first time. The photographs chronicle the Holocaust in starkly visual terms, capturing victims and perpetrators alike, as well as Allied leaders and the multitude of peripheral figures. Caption-text is detailed, and rich with facts and human interest. The books 3000-item timeline of Holocaust-related events is unprecedented in its scope and ambition. Spanning the years 1000 B. C. To 1999 A. D. , the timeline pinpoints deportations, atrocities, and important developments in the Nazis Final Solution, as well as individual acts of cruelty, compassion, and heroic Jewish resistance. Illustrated chapter-opener essays place the most important years of the Holocaust and its immediate aftermath, 1933-1946, into sharp perspective. Nearly 300 sidebars detail significant people, places, issues, and events. More than 30 full-color, specially commissioned maps show the reader where events took place. The sentiments and hatreds that gave rise to the Holocaust were not confined to the 12 years of Adolf Hitlers Thousand-Year Reich. The books illustrated prologue surveys the antisemitism that was expressed over many centuries in Europe as bloody pogroms, exclusionary laws, and other persecution. The illustrated epilogue documents the long, painful healing process that has lasted for generations and may never be completed. ” (Publisher’s description) Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -- Chronology.

Unlike many pictorial and documentary treatments of the Holocaust, it is not a compendium of terrifying photographs of death camp horrors or of secret documents culled from the Nazi archives. Rather, it is a collection of public materials – materials seen and read by the man in the street in Germany, throughout occupied Europe, and all over the world; and expressly designed by the Nazi propaganda machine and its non-German collaborators to prepare public opinion to accept Julius Streicher’s slogan that “the Jew must disappear. ” As demonstrated by the reproductions gathered in this volume, this vile message was transmitted through movies, theatrical productions, exhibitions, wall posters, pamphlets newspapers, magazines, and all other public-information media. Tens of millions of people were exposed to this message day after day, and surely one imagines, they must have known about the fate of the Jews. It is hoped that this volume will serve as a reminder to the civilized world that genocide does not occur overnight. ” (Dust jacket) Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) --Pictorial works.

He grew up in Lodz which, before the German invasion, had a population of at least a quarter of a million Jews and was a prominent and prosperous centre. At the age of 19, and because ‘as a Jew I did not have a chance of studying medicine at a Polish university, ’ he travelled to France and enrolled as a medical student. Upon completing his studies he returned to Poland in July 1939, and when, in September, all young men were called to defend Poland against the Nazi invasion, he packed up two shirts, a jar of home-made jam and a volume of poems and walked to Warsaw to join the war. During the siege of Warsaw, Mostowicz worked as a physician in the Child Jesu Hospital where he treated victims of the German air raids. When Warsaw capitulated, Mostowicz returned to Lodz and the ghetto. There he worked in the isolation department of the hospital, and took part in the resistance movement. By the end of the war almost all of the ghetto's inhabitants were gone - either dead from starvation and exhaustion or sent to death camps. Mostowicz himself was deported, in 1944, to Auschwitz, before being moved to the Gross Rosen concentration camp from which he was liberated in May 1945. Most of his family, including his parents, perished at Treblinka and at other camps. For a time after the war Mostowicz ran a hospital but he soon turned his back on medicine and devoted himself to writing. He was editor of the satirical Polish magazine Szpilki, before being ousted in an anti-Semitic Communist purge in 1968. Mostowicz wrote science fiction and books about Lodz, as well as an autobiographical memoir, The Yellow Star (1989) . In 1994, he founded the Monumentum Judaicum Lodzense Association, to maintain the cultural heritage of Lodz's Jews. ” (The Telegraph, 2/8/2002) Subjects: Jews -- Poland -- Lodz -- Biography.

McDonald (1886–1964) offers a unique and hitherto unknown source on the early history of the Nazi regime and the Roosevelt administration’s reactions to Nazi persecution of German Jews. Considered for the post of U. S. Ambassador to Germany at the start of FDR’s presidency, McDonald traveled to Germany in 1932 and met with Hitler soon after the Nazis came to power. Fearing Nazi intentions to remove or destroy Jews in Germany, in 1933 he became League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and sought aid from the international community to resettle outside the Reich Jews and others persecuted there. In late 1935 he resigned in protest at the lack of support for his work. This is the eagerly awaited first of a projected three-volume work that will significantly revise the ways that scholars and the world view the antecedents of the Holocaust, the Shoah itself, and its aftermath. ” (Publisher’s description) Subjects: Diplomats -- United States -- Diaries.

Rasia, determined to protect Helen from anti-Semitism, continues to pose as a Christian and raises her daughter in the Catholic faith, forbidding her from mentioning her Jewish identity.

Publishers Cloth. 8vo. Pages. 24cm. First edition. "Nuremberg - a city associated with Nazi excesses, party rallies, and the extreme anti-Semitic propaganda published by Hitler ally Julius Streicher - has struggled since the Second World War to come to terms with the material and moral legacies of Nazism. Haunted City explores how the Nuremberg community has confronted the implications of the genocide in which it participated, while also dealing with the appalling suffering of ordinary German citizens during and after the war. Neil Gregor's compelling account of the painful process of remembering and acknowledging the Holocaust offers new insights into postwar memory in Germany and how it has operated. Gregor takes a novel approach to the theme of memory, commemoration, and remembrance, and he proposes a highly nuanced explanation for the failure of Germans to face up to the Holocaust for years after the war. His book makes a major contribution to the social and cultural history of Germany. " (Dust jacket) . Subjects: National socialism --Psychological aspects. Collective memory -- Germany -- Nuremberg.

Publishers Boards. 8vo. 118pages. 24cm. First edition. Using modern social theory, David Brenner examines how German-Jewish identity was influenced by the production and consumption of popular culture. Part of the “Routledge Jewish Studies Series. ” “David A. Brenner examines how Jews in Central Europe developed one of the first ‘ethnic’ or ‘minority’ cultures in modernity. Not exclusively ‘German’ or ‘Jewish, ’ the experiences of German-speaking Jewry in the decades prior to the Third Reich and the Holocaust were also negotiated in encounters with popular culture, particularly the novel, the drama and mass media. Despite recent scholarship, the misconception persists that Jewish Germans were bent on assimilation. Although subject to compulsion, they did not become solely ‘German, ’ much less ‘European. ’ Yet their behavior and values were by no means exclusively ‘Jewish, ’ as the Nazis or other anti-Semites would have it. Rather, the German Jews achieved a peculiar synthesis between 1890 and 1933, developing a culture that was not only ‘middle-class’ but also ‘ethnic. ’ In particular, they reinvented Judaic traditions by way of a hybridized culture. Based on research in German, Israeli and American archives, German-Jewish Popular Culture before the Holocaust addresses many of the genres in which a specifically German-Jewish identity was performed, from the Yiddish theatre and Zionist humour all the way to sensationalist memoirs and Kafka’s own kitsch. This middle-class ethnic identity encompassed and went beyond religious confession and identity politics. In focusing principally on German-Jewish popular culture, this groundbreaking book introduces the beginnings of ‘ethnicity’ as we know it and live it today. ” (Publisher’s description. ) Subjects: Jews in popular culture -- Germany -- History -- 20th century.

He comments on the rapid growth of bibliographies relating to the Holocaust and to the State of Israel. On the other hand, the small number of entries related to Hebrew printing is a reflection of the decline of study of this subject with little extra interest having been aroused by the 500th anniversary of Hebrew printing. There is also a decrease in entries relating to private collections, reflecting a decline in major Jewish book collectors.

Samuel Bak “was born in Vilna. A few years later the area was incorporated into the independent republic of Lithuania. He was eight when the Germans occupied the city. Bak began painting while still a child and, prompted by the well-known Yiddish poet Abraham Sutzkever, held his first exhibition (in the Vilna ghetto) in 1942 at the age of nine. From the ghetto the family was sent to a labor camp on the outskirts of the city. Bak's father managed to save his son by dropping him in a sack out of a ground floor window of the warehouse where he was working; he was met by a maid and brought to the house where his mother was hiding. His father was shot by the Germans in July 1944, a few days before Soviet troops liberated the city. His four grandparents had earlier been executed at the killing site outside Vilna called Ponary. After the war, the young Bak continued painting at the Displaced Persons camp in Landsberg, Germany (1945–48) , where he also studied painting in Munich. In 1948, he and his mother immigrated to Israel, where he studied for a year at the Bezalel Art School in Jerusalem. After fulfilling his military service, he spent three years (1956–59) at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He then moved to Rome (1959–66) , returned to Israel (1966–74) , and lived for a time in New York City (1974–77) . There followed further years in Israel and Paris, then a long stay in Switzerland (1984–93) . From 1993 Bak lived and worked outside Boston, in Weston, Massachusetts. ” (EJ 2007) Subjects: Bak, Samuel - Exhibitions. Holocaust Art - Vilna. OCLC lists 21 copies.

Publishers cloth. 4to. 223 pages. 26 cm. First Dutch edition. Translated from the German. The Yellow Star: The Persecution of the Jews in Europe, 1933-1945. With 196 photographs. “Originally published in 1960 in German as Der Gelbe Stern, this landmark book was one of the first comprehensive photographic accounts of the Holocaust. During the 1950s, researchers in Washington, D. C. And London pored over more than 1, 500 tons of photographs and documents seized after World War II. In 1960 Gerhard Schoenberner gathered some 200 photographs from the newly uncovered material, most of them taken by Nazis to chronicle their war against the Jews. Schoenberner named the book after the yellow badge that the Nazis forced the persecuted Jews to wear. With its comprehensive, authoritative presentation of visual and textual evidence, much of which had not yet not been seen before, The Yellow Star shocked the German population and introduced the world to many haunting images. The book endures as one of the most important documentary accounts of the Holocaust, reprinted in many German editions and published in eight languages. The photographs are accompanied by extracts from Nazi and German documents-laws, decrees, and other Reich memoranda, field reports from SS officers and concentration camp directors, newspaper editorials, and other writings. Schoenberner also provides detailed captions to the photographs. Organized chronologically, the book follows the growing scope and terror of the Holocaust, from the first anti-Jewish laws and Kristallnacht to ghetto uprisings and the Final Solution, culminating in the liberation of the death camps. ” (Publishers description to English edition) .

Book one only. “The Hitlerite Policy of Jewish-Destruction, in the years 1939-1945; an expression of German imperialism. ” At head of title: Yidisher Historisher Institut in Poyln. The author also published in 1955 a Yiddish volume concerning the ‘Remilitarization of West Germany and the Role of Hitler’s Generals’. Written by Artur Eisenbach (1906–1992) , a “Polish Jewish historian. Artur Eisenbach was one of the last representatives of a distinguished group of scholars who, in the years before World War I and in independent Poland between 1918 and 1939, laid the foundation for an investigation of the Polish Jewish past. … He was influenced primarily by the Marxist school of Jewish historians, in particular by Raphael Mahler and Emanuel Ringelblum (whose sister he married) . Eisenbach was an active member of the Yunger Historiker Krayz (Young Historians Circle) founded by Mahler and Ringelblum. Eisenbach spent World War II in the Soviet Union, but his wife and child were trapped in Buczacz, where they were murdered by the Nazis in 1942. After his return to Poland in May 1946, he worked at the Central Historical Commission of the Central Committee of Polish Jews. When the Jewish Historical Institute was established later that year, he was appointed head of its archives, and subsequently became a researcher. In the decade following the war, Eisenbach devoted himself entirely to studying the Holocaust. Later he gradually returned to the theme that he had devoted himself to before the war—Jewish emancipation in the first half of the nineteenth century. In 1966, he became a member of the Committee for the Historical Sciences at the Polish Academy of Sciences and was awarded the title of professor. In the same year, he was appointed director of the Jewish Historical Institute. In 1968, Eisenbach was forced to resign his latter position, and retained only his title at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He decided not to emigrate and in the following years produced a series of monographs on Polish Jewish problems in the first half of the nineteenth century, research that formed the essential basis for future work on this subject. He also continued to work on Holocaust themes, editing Ringelblum’s diary and essay on Polish–Jewish relations. In his last years, he moved to Israel, where he had a nephew and where, active as ever, he worked on an account of Polish–Jewish relations in the nineteenth century. ” (Yivo Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe) .

Hardcover. 8vo. XV, 408 pages. 24 cm. First edition. "Henry Ford is remembered in American lore as the ultimate entrepreneur-the man who invented assembly-line manufacturing and made automobiles affordable. Largely forgotten is his side career as a publisher of antisemitic propaganda. This is the story of Ford's ownership of the Dearborn Independent, his involvement in the defamatory articles it ran, and the two Jewish lawyers, Aaron Sapiro and Louis Marshall, who each tried to stop Ford's war. In 1927, the case of Sapiro v. Ford transfixed the nation. In order to end the embarrassing litigation, Ford apologized for the one thing he would never have lost on in court: the offense of hate speech. Using never-before-discovered evidence from archives and private family collections, this study reveals the depth of Ford's involvement in every aspect of this case and explains why Jewish civil rights lawyers and religious leaders were deeply divided over how to handle Ford"-Provided by publisher.

Hardback. 8vo. XIII, 183 pages. 22 cm. First edition. “The Double Binds of Ethics after the Holocaust sheds new light on the ethical repercussions of the Nazi genocide against the Jews. Contributors focus on two key dilemmas: first, that the Holocaust did immense harm to ethics by undermining confidence in beliefs about the fundamental status of ethical values, including human rights. Second, the Holocaust and subsequent genocides have destroyed confidence that human beings will fulfill their moral obligations better ‘next time. ’ Responding to these double binds, the contributors to this book explore what can be done in ethical theory and practice to respond effectively to the impact of the Holocaust and genocide. Its chapters not only assess the weakness of ethics in standing firmly and effectively against human-made destruction but also indicate steps of salvage and retrieval that need to be taken if ethics is to be a significant presence in a world still besieged by genocide and atrocity. “ (Publishers description) Contents: Part 1: Engaging the Double Binds: 'Double Binds: Ethics after Auschwitz'; J.

Azrieli series of Holocaust survivor memoirs; Series II. “Fred Mann’s compelling story is at once a nerve-wracking account of his family’s efforts to stay one step ahead of the Nazi death machinery and the captivating story of a boy’s rapid entry into manhood. His account is rooted in rich details of daily life in Leipzig and Berlin under the Third Reich. With the rise of the Nazis, Fred recalls in the most personal of terms the tightening net of persecution that gradually made life in Germany intolerable for its Jews and forced his family to flee. Using the biblical theme of Exodus to give shape to his story, he traces his family’s exile through Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Jamaica and finally to a new home in Canada. A tale of truly epic proportions, at once tragic and hopeful, it is also a story of the profound resilience of youth, of a boy who found himself taking on adult responsibilities while at the same time wrestling with his newfound attraction to girls. Though he is proud of his maverick spirit and his ability to aid his family in a time of desperate need, Fred Mann’s story is also a lament for a lost childhood, a lament for having to grow up too fast. ” (Publishers description) Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Germany.

Binding: Hardback
Softbound. 8vo. XXV, 130 pages. 23 cm. First edition. Azrieli series of Holocaust survivor memoirs; Series II. “The son of a diamond merchant in Antwerp’s famous diamond exchange, Paul-Henri Rips was ten years old when the Nazis invaded Belgium in May 1940 and ended what he calls his ‘golden childhood’ forever. He imbues his fascinating memoir with his child’s-eye perceptions of the events unfolding around him and the diverse cast of characters who inhabited Belgium and France during the Nazi occupation. Unflinchingly describing Nazi and Flemish perpetrators of antisemitic violence, Paul-Henri also brings to life resistance fighters, collaborators, black marketeers, soldiers, Christian nuns and priests, Roma and ordinary Belgian and French citizens. Drawing upon childhood references to make sense of what was happening to him, and delving into events and geographic areas often neglected in Holocaust research, his account is a unique combination of place, time and perspective. Ultimately, what Paul-Henri Rips carries away with him from his harrowing experiences are two admonitions from his father: ‘A klapt vargayt, a wort bestayt’ (A blow will go away again, but a word lasts forever) and ‘Sei a mensch’ (Be a decent human being) . His story is a testament to his father’s belief in the importance of holding on to one’s own humanity in the face of unfathomable inhumanity. ” (Publishers description) .

Hardcover, 8vo. , 135 pages. In Yiddish. 40 Years of Papiernikov in the Land of Israel. SUBJECT (S) : Papyernikov, Yosef -- Criticism and interpretation. Published by Yidishn literatn un zshurnalistn-farayn in Yisro'el. Papiernikov, Joseph (1897–1993) , was a “Yiddish poet. Born in Warsaw, he attended a Russian secondary school. Because of his fine voice and sensitive ear for music, he was accepted as choir boy by Cantor Gershon Sirota in the Tlomacka Synagogue in Warsaw. At an early age he joined the Left Po'alei Zion party, which supported the development of a modern Yiddish literature, and there he found the first audience for his lyrics. In 1924 he immigrated to Palestine, where he remained except for an extended sojourn in Poland (1929–33) . After his first poem was published in 1918, his melodious poetry, with its rich imagery and folklike quality, was welcomed in numerous Yiddish journals in Poland and other countries, and his lyric "Zol Zayn az Ikh Boy in der Luft Mayne Shleser" ("I Build my Castles in the Air") , to which he also composed the music, became a popular folk song. Eight collections of Papiernikov's poems were printed before World War II, including In Zunikn Land ("In the Sunny Land, " 1927) and Far Mir un far Ale ("For Me and the Others, " 1936) and a volume of his translations of S. Essenin's poetry (1933) . A faithful lyric recorder of the hardships of the pioneers in the Jewish home-land, Papiernikov's post-Holocaust poetry, short stories, and memoirs, which were collected in several volumes, have a more elegiac tonality. He was honored with several literary awards, and a volume of tributes to him was published on the 40th anniversary of his settling in Israel: 40 Yor Papiernikov in Erets-Yisroel (1965) ” (Biletzky, EJ, 2007) .

Imprint: New York; Conference On Jewish Relations, 1940
Binding: Paperback
Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 8 pages. 23 cm. Holocaust-era Publication by the Medical Committee of the organization ‘Conference on Jewish Relations’; this sociological study outlines the findings of research into the medical profession, the ratio of Jewish doctors to population, their dispersal geographically in the United States (with an accompanying map) , and proposals for the need to eliminate the quota system in the higher education system which prevents Jews from entering into diverse professions, as well as a proposal for where doctors in exile from the troubles in Europe can emigrate to (specifically, areas with low concentrations, not only of Jewish doctors, but doctors in general) . “What is the status of Jews in the field of medicine, and what are their prospects? Are too many of them crowding the profession or are many turned away unjustly? How extensive or justified is the limitation on Jews in medical schools, on hospital staffs, or in certain specialized medical societies? Has our general standard of medical practice been sufficiently high to deserve greater prestige? What does the future hold out for us and what if anything should we do about it? The Conference on Jewish Relations has been studying these and other questions in the conviction that there can be no sound policies of proper adjustment to our fellow citizens without an adequate basis of accurate information as to the actual conditions. ” The piece also outlines, besides the systemic Antisemitism of the higher university system, the social Antisemitism of towns and locales wherein hotels or businesses bar Jews from admittance, owing to the presence of “Nazi and K K K organizations”, the same types of groups who repeatedly stereotype the “Jew practicing medicine. ” Includes original laid-in ‘business reply envelope’ of the Conference on Jewish Relations. The Conference on Jewish Relations was later known as the Conference on Jewish Social Studies; the Conference published the journal Jewish Social Studies. Subjects: Jewish physicians.

They are linked closely by the sub-themes of professionals or 'experts' and an interest in competing systems of morality. The collection includes important and wholly new contributions to the German-Soviet war and other national tragedies; to the controversial question of whether the Nazi analogy has any relevance to contemporary ethical discussions; and to the contemporary historiography, including works of fiction and literary criticism, of the Holocaust.

They were able to confide in Claudine Vegh not only because she was a psychiatrist-in-training, but because she herself had lost her father in the Holocaust, and had experienced similar suffering. … In his afterward, Bruno Bettelheim discusses the role that mourning plays in coming to terms with the death of loved ones. For these children, mourning wasn't possible; they had to deny their feelings in order to survive. Although this denial allowed them to marry, have children, and hold jobs, it robbed them of the chance to grieve for their losses. At last, these interviews afforded the opportunity to mourn; and for those interviewed, as well as for the reader, they are an unforgettable experience. ” (dustjacket description) Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - France - Personal narratives.

More than half of them--men, women and children--were brought hundreds and even thousands of miles across Europe to their deaths, forced into sealed railway trucks and shunted towards the unknown. Who were these people? Where did they come from? At what point did they know what was to become of them? How did they conduct themselves in these final days, and hours? Here, Martin Gilbert relates the fate of Jewish communities as far scattered as France and Rumania, Holland and Greece, plucked out from every corner of Europe, uprooted from their homes, separated from their loved ones, tortured, starved, shot and gassed, under barbaric conditions. On their way to death, no torment was spared them. Their journeys were a transition from hardship to hell: millions of unknown sagas of tragedy, courage, humanity and despair.

Original stiff wrappers . 8vo. 184 pages. 22 cm. First edition. This memoir relates the wartime experiences of Jewish partisan Doctor Michael Temchin. “Dr. Temchin, nicknamed 'Znachor' (Witch Doctor) was at first the commander of the partisan unit of A. L. (Armja Ludowa) , the leftist underground organization in Poland, and after became chief of the medical services of the partisans. The partisan unit under the leadership of Dr. Temchin consisted of Jews and non-Jews, and was active in the area of Krasznik (Lublin district) . The Jewish and Polish partisans planned to rescue Jews in the ghetto of Krasznik before they were taken onto the crematoria, and waited for a sign from the ghetto to start the attack on the little town and liberate the Jews. The ghetto representatives kept postponing their decision to act. The partisans warned them that it might soon be too late, but the inhabitants of the ghetto were in no hurry to call for help from the partisans. A possible reason for their reluctance may have been the fact that they knew of the mass murders of Jews in the partisan units, carried out by Polish fascist groups, living in the woods. Of course the partisans did not want to attack without the consent of those helpless Jews living within the walls. The entire ghetto was wiped out in one night, and only a few succeeded in escaping to the partisans. ” (In the book The Jewish Partisans; Part 2, page 210) “Among the most famous Polish partisans was Major 'Znachor' (Dr. Michael Temchin) . General Rola-Zhimierski, the commander of the A. L. Declared at a meeting of the Polish National Assembly on the 2nd of January 1946: ‘Jewish soldiers fought against the occupation forces with much devotion and courage. They were valiant fighters and very often great heroes; ’ and in his letter to the Organization of Jewish Partisans (F. P. O. ) , the general wrote: ‘Among the Jews who remained alive there were thousands who went into the woods to fight with arms, and fought together with their Polish partisan comrades against the common enemy. ” (M.

A tired pope watching the crisis unfold and considering what action to take against the new enemies of Christianity. Pius XI died on February 10th, 1939, just after finishing the address he hoped to deliver to the Italian bishops on the tenth anniversary of the Lateran Pact. That text dealt harshly with Nazism and Fascism and was written in solitude. It was a discourse that Mussolini feared and that the pope did not survive to deliver. This moment captures the spirit of Emma Fattorini's book, a work that employs newly available and unpublished documentation from the Vatican Secret Archive to rewrite a fundamental page of 20th history. Pius XI came to view the 1930s as a ‘conflict of civilizations, ' a crisis which could only be resolved by a return to the Christian roots of the West. He was a pope who strongly defended the Jews because, in contrast to other elements in the Catholic hierarchy, he held the theological conviction that Jews and Christians shared a common origin: ‘spiritually we are all Semites. ' So wrote Pius XI in the last years of his life as he contemplated the direction in which the world was headed and came to the conclusion that Nazi and Fascist totalitarianism could be stopped by the Vatican. ” Subjects: Fascism and the Catholic Church - Italy.

Mainly using untapped oral histories of Italian Jews and Catholics, this book shows that Catholics in Italy who saved Jews firmly believed they were doing so in consonance with the Pope's wishes. Readers will get to know these courageous individuals through their inspiring memoirs. Yours is a Precious Witness strives to draw a more personal portrait of Pius XII.

Publishers description: “The unknown story of the successful American rescue of approximately 1, 000 children from the Holocaust is told in the words of the children and their rescuers. Sent across the ocean by their parents and taken in by foster parents and distant relatives, approximately 1, 000 children, ranging in age from fourteen months to sixteen years, landed in the United States and out of Hitler's reach between 1934 and 1945. Seventy years after the first ship brought a handful of these children to American shores, the general public and many of the children themselves remain unaware of these rescues, and the fact that they were accomplished despite powerful forces in and outside the government that did not want them to occur. This is the first published account, told in the words of the children and their rescuers, to detail this unknown part of America's response to the Holocaust. It will challenge the belief that Americans did nothing to directly and actively save Holocaust victims. Judith Tydor Baumel, Holocaust scholar and sister of two rescued children, provides an introduction explaining why, when, how, and where the rescues were carried out, who the heroes and heroines were, and which individuals and organizations placed almost insurmountable obstacles in their path. This account presents both recollections and experiences recorded at the time of the rescued children, their descendants, and their rescuers. The story demonstrates what a small group of determined people can do to change the course of history. “ Subjects: Jewish refugees - United States. Jewish refugees - United States - Biography.

The Polish army was defeated within weeks of the blitzkrieg, (lightning war) . The Soviet Union occupied eastern Poland according to the German-Soviet Pact on September 17, 1939. Herman, along with the retreating Polish Army, was captured by the Soviet forces after crossing the Bug River. While officers and those of higher rank were sent to Katyn and later executed, lower ranking soldiers were sent to Siberia, a harsh area of the Soviet Union where gulags (Soviet work camps) were located. German forces invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. Based on an agreement between the Soviet government and the Polish government in exile, all Polish citizens held in Soviet camps were to be released (in part, to create a Second Polish Army in exile) . Upon his release, Herman went to Uzbekistan to join the Second Polish Army. He worked as a medic in Uzbekistan for two years until his unit moved to the eastern front. In June 1944 Herman was injured when the ambulance he was riding in drove over a land mine. After recuperating Herman was sent to the headquarters of the Second Polish Army, newly stationed in Lublin, the former Lublin/Majdanek concentration camp. Herman worked in the Majdanek hospital, caring for the liberated prisoners who were left behind when the retreating Nazis liquidated the camp. Shortly thereafter Herman was sent to work in a hospital in Pomerania where he worked until the end of the war. After the war Herman married Susan Strauss, a fellow survivor. The two immigrated to the United States in 1947. Herman is the author of more than twenty novels and books of poetry and has worked as a writer and journalist for over 60 years. Herman and Susan live in the Washington, DC area and volunteer at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. ” (USHMM) Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Poetry.

Yasher Koach for what you did for us in Landsberg. ” The storekeeper in Meah Shearim asks, “Aren’t you Oberleutenant Birnbaum? ” Before his startled customer can even reply, he is engulfed in a warm embrace, as the storekeeper shouts to his amazed wife and son, “This man was our liberator! ” Some people seem born to lead more interesting lives than others.

This important and original book is the first sustained analysis of the unique ways in which oral testimony of survivors contributes to our understanding of the Holocaust. It also sheds light on the forms and functions of memory as victims relive devastating experiences of pain, humiliation, and loss. Drawing on the Fortunoff Video Archives for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale University, Lawrence L. Langer shows how oral Holocaust testimonies complement historical studies by enabling us to confront the human dimensions of the catastrophe. Quoting extensively from these interviews, Langer develops a technique for interpreting them as we might a written text. He contrasts written and oral narratives, noting that while survivor memoirs by authors such as Primo Levi and Charlotte Delbo transform reality through style, imagery, chronology, or a coherent moral vision, oral testimonies resist these organizing impulses and allow instead a kind of unshielded truth to emerge, just as powerful in its impact as the visions taking shape in written memoirs. He argues that it is necessary to deromanticize the survival experience and that to burden it with accolades about the “indomitable human spirit” is to slight its painful complexity and ambivalence. Finally he explores the perplexing task of establishing a meaningful connection between consequential living and inconsequential dying, between moral striving and the sprit of anguish and sense of a diminished self that pervades these haunting Holocaust testimonies. ” (Publishers description) .

Title translates as: “Resistance in the Rhine and Ruhr, 1933-1945.” Published by the Association of Victims of the Nazi regime of North Rhine-Westphalia, a post war association of German anti-fascist resistance members and concentration camp survivors, founded as a means of support for 250, 000 formerly persecuted political prisoners. The author, Karl Schabrod (1900-1981) was a pre-war radical woodworkers and journalist for a communist paper, he was arrested in 1934 for anti-fascist leaflets in Dusseldorf and imprisoned in the Börgermoor concentration camp. He was released, and arrested again for anti-fascist activities, and was sentenced to life imprisonment; he was liberated by Americans in 1945. He resumed his activities, helping rebuild the short lived activity of the post war German Communist Party in the Federal Republic, and was actively involved in the support network of the Association of Victims of the Nazi Regime. He was blacklisted by the Federal Republic in 1950, and worked as a carpenter, and remained politically active for the remainder of his life, spending another stint of nine months in jail in 1958 for being a communist actively seeking to become elected in the local parliament of North Rhine-Wesphalia. Schabrod wrote at least five volumes dealing with the resistance struggles and political prisoners in the anti-nazi struggle. In this volume, a general survey of the resistance in the Rhine and Ruhr region, encompasses not only the radical miners and proletarians who maintained literary and active struggle against the nazis throughout these years, but also details the open resistance in the region at the closing of the war, wherein many anti-nazi fighters waged open battle as the Ruhr pocket was being closed; many of these fighters being liquidated by the SS. Includes dozens of hand-drawn illustrations of underground newspapers and leaflets, assuredly lost and redrawn from memory by the author.

Softbound. 8vo. 245 pages. 25 cm. First edition. “Robert Ericksen here presents his interpretation of the work and thought of three of Germany's great Protestant theological thinkers who supported Adolf Hitler. It is a most revealing study. He attempts throughout the work to understand how these three could have lent support to Hitler. He reviews the social setting of the Weimar Republic, deals with what he calls the crisis of modernity, and offers an interpretation of Protestant theological developments prior to and during Hitler's rise. Then he proceeds to study the three in turn. … Gerhard Kittel, perhaps the best known of the three because of his editorship of the massive Theologisches Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament, now available in English translation, knew ancient Judaism very well and spent much of his life polemicizing against Jewish thought and in support of a Christianity freed of Jewish elements. He always claimed not to be anti-Semitic, but simply to be doing scholarly work that revealed the sharp contrasts between Judaism and Christianity. Many scholars in Germany have also drawn the contrast too sharply, but Kittel cannot be freed of the charge of having found support in his scholarship for his Nazi position with regard to the Jews. Emmanuel Hirsch, immensely learned in Protestant theology and a thoroughgoing apologist for Nazism, accomplished feats of scholarly work, especially in the history of Protestant thought. It is easy enough to spot the points where his Nazi views appear, but much of his work continues to be of great value. Paul Althaus is perhaps the most tragic of the three figures. Long associated with the Erlangen approach to theology and a great interpreter of Martin Luther, his constructive theological work aimed at showing how important the community was for an understanding of Christianity, and how central this notion of peoplehood had been for ancient Israel and was for the early Christian community-points well recognized and underscored today. But he was able to wring from this understanding a contemporary viewpoint in support of Hitler's call for peoplehood, racial purity, and land. A fine and discerning theological emphasis was perverted into a position that accommodated the Hitler movement. After the late 1930s, it appears, Althaus wrote nothing further that could easily be used for political-propagandistic purposes by the Nazis. One reads such a study with a sense of deep sadness as well as with frequent outbursts of anger. One need not share the view of the author that any one of the three theologians under review actually made Nazism intellectually respectable. One can hardly escape the author's conclusion, however: we all have much to learn from a careful review of the life and work of the three, for such aberrations, alongside Nazism's unspeakable accompanying deeds, could occur again. ” (Theology Today, Volume 43, April 1986, book review by Walter Harrelson of Vanderbilt Divinity School) .

In the last twenty years he has published a number of extensively researched volumes on the holocaust. His “Final Solution” analyses the direct linkage between the Nazi “population movements” and the extermination of the Jews. “Making extensive use of Russian, German, and Polish archives, Aly has provided the most exact and detailed reconstruction of the ‘Final Solution’ yet achieved. As well as looking at the ideological imperative in the Nazi state to ‘solve the Jewish question’ and at Hitler's own role, Aly investigates the actions of those running the Reich Security Headquarters in Berlin and of those numerous lesser figures on the ground who were in the eye of the storm, grappling with the planning failures inherent in Nazi resettlement plans and experiencing mounting difficulties in trying to be rid of ‘their’ Jews. Aly illustrates, through the evidence he builds into an overall mosaic, the lunacy of Nazi race policy, and the variety of agencies that went into the gradual shaping of a policy of all-out genocide. ” (American publishers description) .

Publishers cloth. 8vo. XXII, 310, [2] pages. 24 cm. First edition. “In this work Jacques Adler, a former member of the French resistance, asks: ‘Are people powerless when confronted with a State determined to destroy them? Why didn't more Jews survive the Holocaust? How did we survive? Did we, the survivors, do all that we could, at the time, to help more people survive? ’ In answering these questions, Adler examines the diverse Jewish organizations that existed in Paris during the German occupation from 1940 to 1944. The first part of the book analyzes the national composition of the Jewish population, its expropriation and daily life. The remaining chapters discuss the roles, activities, and policies of various Jewish organizations as they supported Jews in their search for survival, alerted the non-Jewish population to the terrible threat faced by every Jewish family, and acted as representatives of the Jewish people-a role that led to inevitable administrative cooperation with the Nazis and Vichy. Combining careful scholarship with a survivor's zeal to set the record straight, Adler gives an insider's account of resistance members, whose determination was born of the pain and anger that came from the loss of loved ones, whose political ideology sustained them even when they faced the threat of starvation and the loneliness of clandestine existence, and whose anguish was all the more intense because they belonged to that community in Paris that was selected as fodder for the "Final Solution. " Thoroughly researched and drawing upon previously unavailable materials, Adler presents an important portrait of communal solidarity and communal conflict, of heroes and those whose courage failed. “ (Publishers description) .

Sweets has produced an insightful reappraisal of French life during the war at Clermont-Ferrand, the largest town near the occupational capital of Vichy […] Having thoroughly examined town archives, records, and manuscripts, the author reconstructs occupational commerce, education, media, and attitudes, maintaining that, contrary to popular opinion, the vast majority of French were far from collaborationist. Choices in Vichy France details the effects upon society of war, oppression, internment, rationing, aryanization, and propaganda, painting a portrait of the wartime French that lies somewhere between the extremes of outright resistance and enthusiastic collaborationism. With illustrative examples of what day-to-day life was like in the region for the German, the Jew, the Communist, and the fascist, as well as the French masses, this provocative book opens a remarkably clear window onto an era of history often fraught with misunderstanding and suspicion. ” (Publishers description) .

As a relative of German Jews, she and her family are targeted for deportation.

Born into a wealthy and assimilated Warsaw family, qualified as a physician and soon became interested in the poor, working as a volunteer in summer camps for underprivileged children. In 1911 he became the head of a new Jewish orphanage in Warsaw. His educational approach, revolutionary in its time, gave children a system of self-government and the opportunity of producing their own newspaper, Maly Przeglad ("Little Journal") , which appeared as a weekly supplement to the Zionist daily Nasz Przeglad (1920–39) . His success prompted the authorities to secure his aid in establishing a parallel non-Jewish orphanage near Warsaw. With the rise of Hitler and the spread of antisemitism, Korczak's Jewish consciousness deepened and he became Poland's non-Zionist representative on the Jewish Agency. After the Nazi invasion of Poland, he strove to protect the orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto, to which it had been transferred in 1940, and rescued many other hapless youngsters. ” He was sent to Treblinka, along with 200 of his orphans, where he died. –EJ, 2007.

Title page in English: “The life and writings of Dr. Philip Friedman: short bio-bibliographical survey. ” This memorial work outlines the biography and writings of the holocaust survivor and historian Dr. Phillip Friedman. From the Yivo Major Collections description of his work: “Historian Philip Friedman collected documentation on the Holocaust and wrote extensively on the subject. He served as the first director of the Central Jewish Historical Commission in Poland in the post-war period, as consultant to the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, and as director of the YIVO-Yad Vashem bibliographical series on the Holocaust. His papers include eyewitness accounts collected from Holocaust survivors by the Central Jewish Historical Commission in Poland. ” From a New York Times Article (“Holocaust Historian” written by Lucy S. Dawidowicz; January 11, 1981) : “In July 1944 Philip Friedman was one of a mere thousand survivors of the 150, 000 Jews of his native Lvov. Before the war he had already become known as a historian of Polish Jewry, but thenceforth, until his death in New York at 59 in 1960, he dedicated himself to the history of the Jews in that crucible of death which we now call the holocaust. […] Philip Friedman has rightfully been called the father of holocaust history. Except for Emanuel Ringelblum, who did not survive the war, Friedman was the first to organize the collecting of records about Jewish life and death under German wartime occupation. Friedman stimulated survivors to write memoirs and urged them to gather letters, photographs, relics and any remains that would serve future historians. Subjects: Friedman, Philip, 1901-1960.

The memoir of Mietek Pemper; in collaboration with Viktoria Hertling, assisted by Marie Elisabeth Müller; translated by David Dollenmayer. Publishers description: “Mietek Pemper’s compelling and moving memoir tells the true story of how Schindler’s list really came to pass. Pemper was born in 1920 into a lively and cultivated Jewish family for whom everything changed in 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland. Evicted from their home, they were forced into the Krakow ghetto and, later, into the nearby camp of Plaszow where Pemper’s knowledge of the German language was put to use by the sadistic camp commandant Amon Goth. Forced to work as Goth’s personal stenographer from March 1943 to September 1944—an exceptional job for a Jewish prisoner—Pemper soon realized that he could use his position as the commandant’s private secretary to familiarize himself with the inner workings of the Nazi bureaucracy and exploit the system to his fellow detainees’ advantage. Once he gained access to classified documents, Pemper was able to pass on secret information for Schindler to compile his famous lists. After the war, Pemper was the key witness of the prosecution in the 1946 trial against Goth and several other SS officers. The Road to Rescue stands as a historically authentic testimony of one man’s unparalleled courage, wit, defiance, and bittersweet victory over the Nazi regime. ” Subjects: Righteous Gentiles in the Holocaust - Biography.

Publishers description: “The Holocaust was not a major issue in the thirteen Nuremberg trials conducted in Germany between 1945-1949 by the International Military Tribunal. Can the word “justice” be used to refer to trials that did not fully recognize the centrality of the Holocaust? What was the background of the postwar war crimes trials, and what was their impact on society and collective memory? How did they shape international law? This book brings together observations on these and other issues from a broad range of international scholars on the representation of the Holocaust in the postwar trials and its historiography. David Bankier was the incumbent of the John Najmann Chair of Holocaust Studies and Head of the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem.

Title translates as: “A Short History of Anti-Semitism. ” “The author of this chronological study of anti-Jewish persecution is a Brazilian-born BBC official with a background in classical studies, and the richest part of his 2500-year narrative deals with antiquity-which featured no ‘anti-Semitism’ in the modern sense. […] Also notable is the account of Jewish fortunes in Brazil under the relatively tolerant Dutch colonialists and the relatively ineffectual Portuguese Inquisition. [Ineffectually] Massacres and expulsions are viewed as mere unpredictable ‘epidemics. ’ By the same token, in the modern period Morais describes manipulations of popular backwardness like the intelligence-agency, forgery of the Protocols of Zion; yet the emphasis is on the general psychology of stereotypes and ethnocentrism, rather than the deliberate destruction of the Enlightenment tradition from above. ” [Review from Kirkus Reviews] Subjects: Antisemitism - History.

The generally accepted account of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is incomplete. The truth begins with the existence of not one, but two resistance organizations in the ghetto. Two young men, Mordechai Anielewicz of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB) , and Pawel Frenkel of the Jewish Military Organization (ZZW) , rose to lead separate resistance organizations in the ghetto, which did not unite despite the desperate battle they were facing.

Original Wrappers. 8vo. [437-465] pages. In German. Serial publication (published weekly) . Die Weltbühne ("The World Stage") was one of the most important forums for leftist intellectuals in the Weimar Republic; the German weekly magazine was focused on politics, art, and business, founded in Berlin on 7 September 1905 by Siegfried Jacobsohn and was originally created strictly as a theater magazine under the title Die Schaubühne. It was renamed Die Weltbühne on 4 April 1918. After Jacobson's death in December 1926, Kurt Tucholsky took over the leadership of the magazine, which he turned over to Carl von Ossietzky in May 1927. The Nazis banned the publication after the Reichstag fire, and its last edition appeared on 7 March 1933. In exile the magazine was published under the title Die neue Weltbühne ("The New World Stage") as an explicit anti-fascist periodical. After the end of World War II, it appeared again under its original name in East Berlin, where it endured until 1993. Even at its high point, Die Weltbühne had a relatively low printing of 15, 000 copies. Subjects: German Culture- Literature. Weimar. Wrappers worn and detached, outer edges chipped.

Softbound. 8vo. 264 pages. 24 cm. In German with parallel English and French translations. Extended title: “Bureaucrat of death; a documentation showing the capital guild of Bonn's top official in the liquidation of the Jews. ” Published by the Committee for German Unity, an East German governmental committee. As the title indicates, this work constitutes an extensive documentation of the Nazi past of Hans Globke, Director of the Federal Chancellory of West Germany between 1953 and 1963 and as such one of the closest aides to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. Globke's key position as a national security advisor to Adenauer despite his involvement with the Office for Jewish Affairs during the Holocaust and in anticommunist activities in post-war West Germany made both the West German government and CIA officials wary of exposing his past. This led for instance to the withholding of Adolf Eichmann's alias from the Israeli government and Nazi hunters in the late '50s, and CIA pressure in 1960 on Life magazine to delete references to Globke from its recently obtained Eichmann memoirs. An interesting period piece for post-war German history, which serves as a searing indictment of the hushed up nazi histories of many members of the ruling class of West Germany. Subjects: Jews - Persecutions - Germany - History - Sources. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Germany - Sources. Globke, Hans, 1898-1973. Germany - Politics and government - 1933-1945 – Sources.

Publishers cloth. 8vo. XIV, 218 pages. 24 cm. Publishers description: “On September 27, 1939, less than four weeks after the Nazi invasion, Poland ceased to exist as a nation. Only three weeks had passed since ten-year-old Hanna Davidson had said goodbye to her father, Simon, and older brother, Kazik, who had been drafted and sent to defend Warsaw. Now she believed she would never see them again. Hanna and her mother, Sophia, an artist and intellectual, found themselves subjected to Hitler’s efforts to dehumanize Poland’s Jewish population. There seemed no choice but to cling to what shreds of stability they could by submitting to a ruthless tyranny. But when they got word that Simon and Kazik were alive in Bialystok in the Soviet-occupied zone of Poland, Hanna and her mother made a fearful decision—they would risk a harrowing escape from Nazi Poland into relatively safer Soviet territory. After a few hasty good-byes to family and with only the clothes on their backs, they left their apartment—just one hour before soldiers would come for Sophia. If the two-percent chance of surviving the crossing were not daunting enough, then the Davidsons’ prospects in the Soviet Union should have been. For Simon Davidson’s past as a prominent businessman (and capitalist) and political activism in the socialist Bund (an organization banned by the communists) branded him as undesirable. Moreover, he had been born in Russia—escaping years before by fooling Soviet authorities into presuming him dead—and his presence could place those members of his family who remained behind in danger. So for the sake of their very lives—and those of relatives they could never publicly acknowledge—the Davidsons would be compelled to invent and memorize not only their own new identities but also an extended family history. Moreover, avoiding persecution by the Soviet regime would entail struggling virtually every day to maintain a pretense of allegiance to Stalin. As recounted by Hanna, the Davidsons’ journey into the Soviet interior makes for an extraordinary story. More than a memoir of survival, the Davidsons’ story is clearly one of a family whose spirit could not be destroyed by persecution, war, famine, or political oppression. ” Subjects: Jews - Poland - Lódz - Biography.

Softbound. 8vo. 182, [4] pages. 22 cm. First Belorussian edition. Title translates as: “The Minsk ghetto; Soviet-Jewish partisans against the Nazis. ” In Belorussian, With four pages of black and white photographic plates. Hersh Smolar (1905–1993) , was a “Polish and Soviet Yiddish writer and editor. Born to a poor family in the town of Zambrów, Poland, Hersh Smolar (also rendered Smolyar) attended primary school until the age of 11, when he began working, and soon became involved in revolutionary activities. He was a leader of the local branch of the Jewish Socialist Youth Association from 1918 to 1920. During the 1920 Polish–Soviet War, Smolar belonged to a revolutionary committee that had formed in Zambrów when the Red Army had occupied the town. Smolar fled to Soviet Russia in 1921, initially living in Kiev. He moved to Moscow two years later, after being admitted to the Yiddish department at the Communist University for the Peoples of the West (known in Yiddish as Mayrevke) , one of the universities run by the Comintern. Forced to interrupt his studies the next year, Smolar was dispatched to Khar’kiv (then the Ukrainian capital) , where he was given the task of reinforcing the local Yiddish-speaking Communist cadre. He helped to edit the newspaper Yunge gvardye (Young Guard) , which targeted Yiddish-speaking youth. He returned to Moscow in 1926 and continued his studies at the Communist University, coediting its Yiddish journal Mayrevnik (Student of the Mayrevke) . Smolar served as a Comintern agent in Poland from 1928 to 1939; twice arrested, he spent six years in prison. After World War II began, he fled to Bialystok (then in Soviet-occupied territory) , where he gained prominence among refugee Polish Yiddish writers and as editor of the Communist newspaper Byalistoker shtern (Bialystok Star) . Smolar did not manage to evacuate when Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1941. A leading member of the resistance in the Minsk ghetto, he became commissar of a partisan group operating in Belorussian forests. His wartime memoirs, Fun Minsker geto (From the Minsk Ghetto) , were published by Emes in Moscow in 1946. Smolar and his wife, Walentyna Najdus, subsequently returned to Poland, where he held key positions in the Jewish community as chair of the Jewish Cultural Alliance and editor of the Yiddish newspaper Folks-shtime. He published a collection of partisan stories, Yidn on gele lates (Jews without Yellow Patches; 1948) , and the play A posheter zelner (An Ordinary Soldier; 1952) . His Folks-shtime editorial ‘Undzer veytik un undzer treyst’ (Our Pain and Our Comfort; 4 April 1956) , which was reprinted all over the world, became the first semiofficial source of information on the liquidation of Soviet Yiddish cultural institutions and their leading personalities between 1948 and 1952. Indeed, this editorial triggered a radical decline in the number of Yiddish-language organizations that supported the Soviet Union. As a result of the 1968 anti-Jewish campaign and the involvement of his sons (Aleksander [1940– ] and Eugeniusz) in dissident student circles, Smolar acknowledged that his life in Poland had become untenable. He left for Israel in 1971.” (YIVO Encyclopedia) Subjects: Jews - Persecutions - Belarus - Minsk. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Belarus - Minsk - Personal narratives.

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.
