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.

Imprint: New York, American Jewish Conference., 1943 First edition. Original paper wrappers. 4to. About 8 pages each issue; 28 cm. Folded in half like a newspaper. Daily during the conference from 1943-1947. The American Jewish Conference “was an ad hoc organization that first met in Pittsburg in January 1943, and had its first official conference in August that year [these issues are from that conference]. The initial meeting included delegates from thirty-two national Jewish organizations. It was called to decide upon the role that the American Jewish community would play in representing Jewish demands after the war and helping to build Jewish Palestine. The result was the creation of the American Jewish Conference, which consisted of sixty-four Jewish groups, including American Jewish Committee; it constituted the most representative gathering of American Jews ever” (Wikipedia 2017) . Reflecting the concerns of this very middle-of-the-Holocaust period, articles cover the proceedings of the conference, as well as topics such as “Action Taken on Rescue and Postwar Status of Jews, ” Conference Adopts Palestine Resolution, ” and “Solemn Memorial Service Held for Martyred Jews. ” “During its five day assembly at the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria, New York, which began on Sunday afternoon, August 29, the Conference, composed of 502 elected representatives of the Jews of America, considered and recommended action ‘on problems relating to the rights and status of Jews in the postwar world’ as well as ‘upon all matters looking to the implementation of the rights of the Jewish people with respect to Palestine. ’ The latter took the form of a resolution demanding the fulfillment of the Balfour Declaration and of the Mandate for Palestine ‘whose intent and underlying purpose was to constitute Palestine as the Jewish Commonwealth. ’” SUBJECT(S) : Jews, Congresses, Palestine.

Imprint: Paris: Published By American Joint Distribution Committee, 1949 1st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 197 pages. Compiled by the Office of General Counsel European Headquarters American Joint Distribution Committee. "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. " (from foreword by Joel Fisher) . Subjects: Absence and presumption of death. The US Holocaust museum keeps their copy in their Rare Book Collection. Pen note and staples on front cover. Some chipping on cover and spine and blank page before title page. Pages are darkened. Previous owner's stamp on front cover. Good Condition Overall. (HOLO2-145-22+) Stock number: 40832.

Imprint: Waltham, Mass; American Jewish Historical Society, 1976 Original paper wrappers. 4to. 16 pages. 28 cm. “A Bicentennial publication on the life, times and personal papers of the celebrated American Jewish patriot whose efforts helped finance Washington’s army and secure American Independence. ” Staple bound in fine paper wraps with raised signature title, fine tissue endpapers, background illustrations throughout, all text in red and brown ink, thirty four illustrations, and biographical chronology at end. Text details the life of Haym Salomon (Solomon) (1740–1785) , “early American merchant and Revolutionary War patriot. Salomon, who was born in Lissa, Poland, arrived in New York about 1775 after wandering in Europe and became one of the most prominent 18th-century American Jews. During the Revolutionary War he was a distiller and sutler to the American army, and was captured as a spy by the British. His life was spared, and he served as an interpreter in their commissary department. Continuing to give information to the Americans, he assisted their prisoners to escape British captivity while operating a profitable victualing business in New York City under British occupation. Married to Rachel Franks in 1777, he had to flee a year later to Philadelphia, where he began a brokerage and commission business. In 1781 he became an assistant to Robert Morris, superintendent of the Office of Finance, after serving in a similar capacity as broker and treasurer for the huge expenses of the French army stationed in America. Morris characterized him as ‘useful to the public interest. ’ Salomon also lent money without charge to impecunious members of the Continental Congress, among them James Madison, who recommended him as ‘our little friend in Front Street. ’ In 1784 Salomon expanded his business activities to New York, opening a brokerage and auctioneering house there with Jacob Mordecai. A mason, Salomon was a major contributor in 1782 to the Congregation Mikveh Israel building, Philadelphia. He argued against a New Testament oath taken by officeholders in Pennsylvania and worked for political rights of Jews. Though a successful merchant, Salomon invested most of his money in Continental stocks and bonds, and his accounts showed a deficit at the time of his death. The newspaper obituary referred to him as ‘an eminent broker of this city… remarkable for his skill and integrity in his profession, and for his generous and human deportment. ’ He left four children and a widow, who later married David Hilborn. By 1799 she was living in the Batavian Republic. … Exaggerated claims were made for Salomon's services to the American Revolution, largely as a point of Jewish apologetics. Without question, however, he was a vigorous patriot at great personal risk, and a competent financial servant of American independence and of some of its leaders. ” (EJ 2007) Subjects: Jews - United States - Biography.

Imprint: New York; The Federation, 1956 Stiff wrappers. 12mo. 54 pages. 20 cm. First and only edition. In English with some German. Reports and Addresses of the Annual Meeting of the American Federation of Jews from Central Europe. The American Federation of Jews from Central Europe was the central representative agency of over thirty local and national organizations established by Jewish victims of Nazism from Central Europe in the United States. It was incorporated in New York in 1941 to safeguard their rights and to sponsor social service programs. The Annual Report from 1956 contains a central essay, “After Ten Years in Germany” which details the overall dismal state of German consciousness, the fact that anti-semitism is still very present, the experiences of German Jews, the many hundreds if not thousands of war criminals who have not faced sentencing or even arrest, the lack of direction in the U. N for truly attempting to prosecute for genocide, etc. From the introductory remarks: “Since our Annual Meeting many rather important things have developed: The new Federal Indemnification Law was passed by the German Parliament and published on June 29, 1956; a new decree has been issued by the Boon government regulating the claims of former officials and employees of Jewish communities and organizations in Germany; and through our effort a General Ruling has been issued by the Treasury Department in Washington according to which all indemnification payments, including pensions, received from Germany are not taxable under the Federal Internal Revenue Code. ” A very interesting period piece.

Imprint: New York City; American Jewish Conference, 1943 Original Wraps. 12mo. 16 pages. 20 cm. First edition. Holocaust-era Statement of Withdrawal of the AJC from the American Jewish Conference. A contemporary news report described the withdrawal as such: “The withdrawal of the American Jewish Committee from the American Jewish Conference was announced here last night following a full-day session of its executive committee attended by seventy-five leading representatives of Jewish communities throughout the country. The session was presided over by Jacob Blaustein, chairman of the General Committee. Protesting this decision, three Zionist members of the American Jewish Committee resigned and telegraphed other members urging them to do likewise. … A statement on the position of the American Jewish Committee, presented by its president Joseph M. Proskauer, declared that 'the present demand for the eventual establishment of a Jewish Commonwealth in Palestine, made by the American Jewish Conference, and constituting one of its major decisions, as well as the subordination of other Jewish issues to the problem of the political structure of Palestine, are in such essential disagreement with the fundamental views of the American Jewish Committee that in the best interests of Jews in this and other countries, including Palestine, the Committee feels impelled to withdraw from the American Jewish Conference. ' The statement reaffirms the desire of the American Jewish Committee 'to utilize for the Jews of Europe the broadest opportunities which Palestine can offer. ' It assures that the Committee 'will apply its most diligent efforts to bring about the abrogation of the White Paper which closes the doors of Palestine to further Jewish immigration and restricts Jewish land purchase. ' At the same time it expresses the conviction that the problems of world Jewry cannot be solved by a single political panacea and that 'the salvation and rehabilitation of the stricken Jews of Europe cannot be achieved through Palestine alone and certainly not through overemphasis on the political constitution of Palestine. It can be achieved only by considering Palestine a part of the larger program which looks to the rehabilitation and resettlement of Jews throughout the world and the restoration of their equal rights. ” - JTA October 26, 1943.

Imprint: New York, The Committee,, 1952 1st edition. Original Paper Wrappers, 8vo, 10 pages. Regarding the decision described in this pamphlet, the Jewish Telegraph Agency reported on Sept 22, 1952: "The American Jewish Committee and the B’nai B’rith, parent body of the Anti-Defamation League, tonight officially announced their withdrawal from the National Community Relations Advisory Council. Their action followed adoption by the national plenary conference of the NCRAC earlier this month of a plan for reorganization of work in the community relations field. Both organizations had strenuously opposed the plan, adoption of which was inspired by the Maclver Report on Jewish community relations. Jacob Blaustein, president of the American Jewish Committee, and Frank Goldman, president of B’nai B’rith, made the formal statements announcing secession by their organizations from the eight-year-old agency. Mr. Blaustein declared that 'the fundamental basis for the American Jewish Committee’s withdrawal from the NCRAC is our rejection of a regulatory body with compulsory powers to which national agencies are subordinated. No central body,' he asserted, 'can presume to have a mandate to speak as the ‘official’ voice of American Jewry.'” It re-joined NCRAC in 1966. Important and scarce.
