LIDICE.
1st edition, Original photographic wrappers, 8vo, 28 pages plus 8 plates of photos. In Czech. Early pulication (1945) from just after liberation, documenting the Nazi Massacre at Lidice, Czechslovakia. On June 10, 1942 the village of Licide was totally destroyed by the members of the Ordnungspolizei and the SD (Sicherheitsdienst) in revenge for the assassination of Deputy Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Reinhard Heydrich on May 27, 1942. Soon after Heydrich's funeral, Hitler ordered that any town found to have hidden his killers was to be burned to the ground and leveled to the ground. All men over 16 were to be shot, women and children are to be sent to concentration camps with children who were suitable for "Germanisation" to be placed in SS families. The Nazis chose Lidice because its residents were suspected of harboring partisans and were falsely associated by aiding team members of "Operation Anthropoid" (code name for the assassination plot) . On June 10, 1942 Hitler's orders were carried out and Lidice and its citizens were obliterated. Light wear, expected toning to paper, margins of some photo plates are a bit wavy with stains, but are otherwise very good. (KH-9-12)

Merzbacher, Leo, editor and translator; Adler, S. M.(Samuel M.), editor.[Temple Emanu-El (New York, N.Y.)]
SEDER TEFILAH. THE ORDER OF PRAYER FOR DIVINE SERVICE. II VOLUME: DAY OF ATONEMENT [VOL II ONLY, OF 2] [DAILY PRAYERS. REFORM, MERZBACHER]
2nd Revised Edition, edited, revised, and corrected by S. Adler, 1st printing thus. Original gilt tooled leather, 8vo, 396 pages. In Hebrew and English on facing pages. Formerly Singerman 1780, now merged into Singerman 1667 as vol II, variant 1 (Thalmessinger & Cahn). The second of two volumes [vol. 1 Daily prayers & vol. 2. Prayers for the Day of Atonement] substantially reworked by Adler and published 1860 (vol. I) and 1863 (vol. 2, here). Together these comprise the First Edition of Samuel Adlers revised edition of Leo Merzbachers 1855 Prayer-Book. The first prayer-book to contain an English rather than German translation of the prayers. Despite the modest title-page, Adlers production here was not merely a revision, but in actuality he completely reworked it and added to and entirely altered the liturgy. Rabbi Leo Merzbachers original version of the prayers was quite traditional. As resourceful and accomplished a liturgist as Merzbacher proved to be, he seldom sought to
willfully turn aside from the traditional cannon (Friedland p. 36). Samuel Adler, on the other hand (Merzbachers successor at Temple Emanu-El of New York) had no such reservations about adopting radical change to the structure of the prayer-book. In his version of the Order of Prayer Adler did not rely on sources in Jewish tradition, rather he changed the prayers according to his subjective views of how synagogue services should be conducted. (See Eric Lewis Friedland, (Brandeis University dissertation) The Historical and Theological Development of the non-Orthodox Prayerbooks in the United States, 1967). Indeed it was precisely this 1860-1863 version of the Order of Prayer that was adopted by Temple Emanuel in New York, and all subsequent issues of the Order of Prayer utilized this version containing Samuel Adlers revisions. The Union Prayerbook itself was largely based on Adlers 1860-1863 revisions. Consequently, this prayer-book was also the cause of much controversy. Orthodox Rabbi Bernard Illowy of St. Louis fumed, that whomsoever utilized this so-called prayer-book was to be entirely excluded from all religious communion (see Michael A. Meyer, Response to Modernity: A History of the Reform Movement (1995) p. 237). Leo Merzbacher (1809-56) received his Rabbinic ordination from the celebrated R.abbi Moses Sofer of Pressburg (the Chasam Sofer), the leading opponent of the Reform movement. Merzbacher immigrated to America in the 1840s and was appointed the first rabbi of Temple Emanuel in New York where he served until his death. He adopted changes in synagogue custom such as the prominent use of an organ and eradicating the observance of the second day of festivals. Samuel Adler (1809-91) replaced Merzbacher in Temple Emanuel in 1857, following the laters death, where he served until 1891. Adlers son, Felix, was the founder of the Ethical Culture movement. SUBJECT(S): Siddurim -- Texts. Reform Judaism -- Liturgy -- Yom Kippur -- Siddour -- Textes. Judai¨sme re´forme´ -- Liturgie -- Yom Kippour -- OCLC: 78354364. OCLC lists 8 copies worldwide (HUC, Penn, Harvard, JTS, United Lutheran Seminary, GWU, UWisc-Mad, Maduro Foundation).

Messiaen, Olivier and Balthus (Balthazar Klossowski de Rola)
Les 22 concertos pour piano de Mozart (with a lithograph by Balthus)
First collected edition of Messiaen's detailed accounts of each of Mozart's piano concertos, which had appeared individually in concert programs. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was the pre-eminent French composer of the second half of the 20th century. From a total edition of 100 numbered copies, this is ONE OF ONLY 50 COPIES WITH A LOOSE COLOR LITHOGRAPH BY BALTHUS. The lithograph, in soft colors, depicts a bay with a smoking volcano in the background. Balthus (Balthazar Klossowski de Rola, 1908-2001) was one of the great French artists of the 20th century. In theory, the book is supposed to be signed by Messiaen and the lithograph by Balthus, but in fact neither is signed. The publication of this book was carried out in the most chaotic possible way: Messiaen ended up signing only presentation copies, and Balthus ended up signing only a few impressions of the lithograph. Large folio (56 x 38.5 cm). Loose as issued in printed wraps and publisher's cloth portfolio/clamshell box. FINE AND BRIGHT, with no defects.
