Imprint: New York; John S. Taylor, 1843 Publishers cloth. 12mo. 358 pages. 19 cm. First US edition. Singerman 0833. This novel is considered to be the first English language ‘Zionist Novel’ (it predates George Eliot’s ‘Daniel Deronda’ by thirty years); the story concerns the return of an English Jew (Alick) to the Holy Land; it binds together English and Jewish history.This was the last novel the author wrote. Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna (1790-1846) wrote on the plight of English factory workers, was well known in her time for her novels and her Orange-Protestant essays and poems, was passionate about gardening, a pioneer of deaf education, and also wrote children’s stories. In her later years she defended the rights of Judaism, and in her last three years was a close friend of Moses Montefiore, owing to her fundraising on behalf of the Jews of Mogador in 1844 (she raised the most money of anyone for the Jewish community in the besieged Moroccan coastal city), her public protest against the policies of Tsar Nicholas I towards Jews, and her 1844 letter to the Bishop of Jerusalem, entitled ‘Israel’s Ordinances.’ “As Tonna’s health deteriorated rapidly, the Montefiores became devoted friends. When she set out on her final journey to Ramsgate from London, it was Montefiore who bade her farewell at the train station and handed her a basket of grapes.“ (Pg. 215; ‘Moses Montefiore: Jewish Liberator, Imperial Hero’; by Abigail Green). Her work, "Days of Old,’ by Charlotte Elizabeth (Mrs. Tonner)” was part of the sixth volume published by the American Jewish Publication Society in 1847 (Jewish Miscellany no.

After a long trip in 1929 to outlying Jewish communities in Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland he published a series of articles in the New York Yiddish daily Der Tog and other American and European Yiddish periodicals on the conditions of Jews there. Leaving Germany at the rise of Nazism, he lived in Paris until 1941, when he gained permission to enter the U. S. And settled in New York. He was appointed secretary of the I. L. Peretz Writers’ Club. Though confined to sanatoriums for long periods, he continued his literary work. His stories, poems, fables, and articles were printed in Yiddish newspapers all over the world.

Einbinder was born on February 8, 1901 in Bershad. At the age of 19, he moved to Romania and eventually settled in the United States in 1924. He lived in New York and Los Angeles, where he died in 1964. Chaver Paver made his debut in Yiddish literature in the 1920s as a children’s writer. He wrote five volumes of children’s stories and several plays. However, the majority of his literary works were stories and novels for adults. American Yiddish literature always maintained a close connection to its readers, and Chaver Paver did not break from that tradition. He wrote of the movement from the shtetlach to the United States and the tone of his writing always expressed the compassion he felt for his reading public. … Chaver Paver’s style is unique in Yiddish prose. There is no sense of distance between the writer and the reader and his writings have the sing-song quality of a storyteller, giving the impression of improvisation. The stories move fast, often featuring children, as well as real and imaginary animals that possess human characteristics. ” [Yiddishkayt.org] Subjects: Children's literature, Yiddish.

Imprint: New York: United Czenstochover Relief Committee, 1958 1st edition, original cloth, 4to. Viii + 36 + iv pages, illustrations throughout. In Yiddish. “The beginning of the Second World War is simultaneously the beginning of suffering, pain, death, martyrdom and heroism of the Jews of Czestochowa. In the early morning hours of Friday, the first of September, 1939, Nazi Germany attacked Poland. And already on the third day, at nine o'clock in the morning on Sunday, the third of September, the Nazi motorized units began to penetrate Czestochowa and, one day later, there began the first slaughter which received the name ‘Bloody Monday’. Monday, the fourth of September, under the false accusation that Jews had shot at Germans, a horrible pogrom took place that lasted three days. The first victim was Naftali Tenenboym, owner of a button factory at 7 Pilsudskego Street. The second victim was Luzer Prafart, who was known under the nickname ‘Po Pientsh’ ([Polish for] five each). The third, Katz, a carpenter by occupation, was known as a leader in the artisans unions. Among the numerous victims in the three day pogrom was the son of the Rosh-Hayeshiva [Head of the Talmudic academy], Yakubovitsh. The first three days of Nazi rule over Czestochowa were marked by bloody murder and looting. Jewish economic life was completely paralyzed. Cultural, social, and political life, including the entire school system, was completely dissolved. Falling like hail, there were repressions and decrees aimed at psychologically choking Jewish life, the theft of Jewish property, the exploitation of the Jewish labor force for free, and the placing of Jewish life into a lawless situation."

It unclear when Jews in Swansea began meeting for formal religious worship, but we do know that the Jewish community was using a room on the Strand opposite Essery’s warehouse as a synagogue in 1789…. The first purpose built synagogue was opened on a plot of land between Goat Street and Waterloo Street in 1818….In 1859 the original building was replaced by a larger synagogue in Goat Street which had room for about 250 people. This synagogue would serve the needs of the community for the next 82 years.Worshipping [sic] at the Goat Street synagogue came to an abrupt end in February 1941 when the building was destroyed by German bombs. However, this did not spell the end for the Swansea Hebrew Congregation.Luckily some Scrolls of Law had been removed to the homes of some of the congregation before the ‘Three Nights Blitz’. Despite the loss of their synagogue, the community was determined that Jewish life in Swansea should continue as normal.” (https://jewishheritage.wales/swansea).

Imprint: Buenos-Ayres: Besaraber Landslayt-Farayn in Argentine, 1950 1st Yiddish Edition. Original Publisher’s Cloth, 8vo, 416 pages. Includes illustrations and map. Includes Spanish Title page: “Judios de Kischeneff.” Translation of Yehude Kishinov, originally published in Hebrew. Vol III in the series, “Besaraber Yidn.” Includes bibliographical references (pages 412-416). “The name of Kishinev became known to the world at large as a result of two pogroms. The first, initiated and organized by the local and central authorities, took place during Easter on April 6–7, 1903….The pogrom was preceded by a poisonous anti-Jewish campaign led by P. Krushevan , director of the Bessarabian newspaper Bessarabets, who incited the population through a constant stream of vicious articles. One of the authors of the most virulent articles was the local police chief, Levendall. In such a heated atmosphere any incident could have dire consequences, and when the body of a Christian child was found, and a young Christian woman patient committed suicide in the Jewish hospital, the mob became violent. A blood libel , circulated by the Bessarabets, spread like wildfire. (It was later proved that the child was murdered by his relatives and that the suicide of the young woman was in no way connected with the Jews.) According to official statistics, 49 Jews lost their lives and more than 500 were injured, some of them seriously; 700 houses were looted and destroyed and 600 businesses and shops were looted. The material loss amounted to 2,500,000 gold rubles, and about 2,000 families were left homeless. Both Russians and Romanians joined in the riots. Russians were sent in from other towns and the students of the theological seminaries and the secondary schools and colleges played a leading role. The garrison of 5,000 soldiers stationed in the city, which could easily have held back the mob, took no action. Public outcry throughout the world was aroused by the incident and protest meetings were organized in London, Paris, and New York. A letter of protest written in the United States was handed over to President Theodore Roosevelt to be delivered to the czar, who refused to accept it. Under the pressure of public opinion, some of the perpetrators of the pogrom were brought to justice but they received very lenient sentences. L.N. Tolstoy expressed his sympathy for the victims, condemning the czarist authorities as responsible for the pogrom. The Russian writer Vladimir Korolenko described the pogrom in his story ‘House No. 13’ as did ?.N. Bialik in his poem ‘Be-Ir ha-Haregah’ (‘In the Town of Death’).On Oct. 19–20, 1905, riots broke out once more. They began as a protest demonstration by the ‘patriots’ against the czar's declaration of Aug. 19, 1905, and deteriorated into an attack on the Jewish quarter in which 19 Jews were killed, 56 were injured, and houses and shops were looted and destroyed: damages amounted to 300,000 rubles. On this occasion, some of the Jewish youth organized itself into self-defense units . The two pogroms had a profound effect on the Jews of Kishinev. Between 1902 and 1905 their numbers dropped from around 60,000 to 53,243, many immigrating to the United States and the Americas, while many more left after the second attack. The economic development of the town was brought to a standstill….On July 17, 1941, Kishinev was occupied by German and Romanian units, who entered it together with units of Einsatzgruppe D. The massacre of Kishinev's Jews began immediately under the auspices of the Einsatzgruppe, and by the time the concentration of Jews into a ghetto was completed, about 10,000 had been slaughtered. ....On Oct. 4, 1941, deportations began to Transnistria , the first group containing 1,600 persons. After this, between 700 and 1,000 Jews were deported daily, the last group leaving on October 31. ...In Transnistria Jews were sent to various camps and ghettos, where two-thirds of them died from epidemics, hunger, and exposure. The exact number of dead is not known, but taking into account the proportion of those killed in Bessarabia from the time of the Romanian and German conquest until the deportations to Transnistria on the one hand, and the number of those who died in Transnistria on the other, it may be estimated that of the 65,000 Jewish inhabitants in Kishinev in 1941, 53,000 perished” (JewishVirtualLibrary).
