DER BIALISTOKER YIZKOR BUKH. THE BIALYSTOKER MEMORIAL BOOK.
1st edition. Original cloth. 4to, x + 205 (English) + 396 (Yiddish) + v pages. Illustartions throughout. Bialystok's strength rests only in its extraordinary features but in its normal characteristics as well. The fifty thousand living there are doing reasonably well financially and also spiritually, like other Jews in Poland. Still, Bialystok was the first, at the end of the German occupation after World War I, to abolish its autocratic community leadership, replacing it with an exemplary democratic system that will do down in history. The Hebraist movement in Bialystok was only a part of the diffuse cultural advance in all of Poland. But when Bialystok established its Hebrew Gymnasium (high school) it was the rank and file Jews, not the radical Hebraists, who erected it. The tall, sturdy building evoked the admiration of the local community as well as of visitors from near and far, especially since it could accommodate seven hundred students. The Yiddish influence in Bialystok was also only a part of the Yiddish movement in all of Poland and in the entire world. But with the exception of Wilno, no other Jewish town besides Bialystok was able to fashion such an intricate Yiddish school network, let alone a high school, despite difficult circumstances. The orphan problem became one of the most critical social issues in Bialystok after World War I. Surely no other city had someone like Mrs. Rabinowicz, who, when the situation became next to hopeless, was the only leader in all of Poland who went to America to obtain the necessary assistance for these unfortunate children. It is possible to mention hundreds of other examples of community and private initiatives in Bialystok which clearly depict its special atmosphere of effervescing creativity a contagion transmitted from one to another compelling everyone to outdo his neighbour. Such is the breeding ground for important accomplishments. (Pejsach Kaplan, a prominent Bialystoker writer and social activist) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Poland -- Bialystok. World War, 1939-1945 -- Jews.

BZSHEZSHIN YIZKER-BUKH. BRZEZIN MEMORIAL BOOK
1st edition, original cloth, 4to, xix+ 288+ (2) pages. Illustrations throughout. Yiddish, with English introduction. There once was a town of Jewish tailors Brzezin. From early dawn until late at night one could hear the music of the Singer sewing machines. It was the music of hard work, of intense anxiety, of a hard life, but also of noisy youth, semi-intellectuals, observant Jews, Hasidim who lived and had aspirations in the small Jewish town Brzezin. The Nazi savages extinguished this life forever, transformed it into ashes. Only a few Jews from the tailoring town Brzezin, by some miracle, remain, scattered over the entire world, individuals who were witnesses to the German cannibalism. May these words, frail in print, but inscribed not with ink but with blood, be a modest contribution to the matseve [gravestone] for my native town, Brzezin. Brzezin was one of the oldest and most popular Jewish communities in Poland. When this community was established, it carried the name Krakowek [Little Krakow]. At that time, the community extended from the Strykower highway to beyond the Jewish besoylem [cemetery] to the surrounding hills. The Polish noblewoman, Anna Lasocka, had brought the first weavers from afar into this community. Then the community developed even further and began to broaden its borders. At that time, the town already carried the name Brzezin. Jewish tailors came to Brzezin from many places, and after several generations, the town developed its own type of tailoring industry, by which it was known all over the world. A cottage industry was the main occupation here. As early as 1772, Brzezin was famous for its mass production in tailoring. Until 1914 the great Czarist Russia was flooded with the inexpensive products of Brzeziner tailors. In the years between the two world wars, the export of Brzezin industry was spread over many lands in Europe and into other parts of the world. In this, the great Jewish magaziners [owners of clothing enterprises] exporters such as Frankensztejn, Tuszynski, Sulkowicz, and others played a great role. The Jews in Brzezin did not only work, they also participated actively in the socio-political and cultural life of the town, had their representatives on the town council in town hall, and had their religious and secular educational, cultural, and social organizations. Materially, it was a life of Jewish poverty, but spiritually, socially, and culturally, it was rich.

TSHENSTOKHOV: NAYER TSUGAB-MATERIAL TSUM BUKH "TSHENSTOKHOVER YIDN"; CZENSTOCHOV A NEW SUPPLEMENT TO THE BOOK CZENSTOCHOVER YIDN
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.

MEGILES GLINE (GLINYANE) : ZIKHROYNES UN IBERLEBUNGEN FUN A HOREV GEVORENER KEHILE. ON TITLE PAGE: THE BOOK OF GLINE
1st edition. Original cloth. 4to, 307 pages. Yiddish. The shtetl of Gliniany once played a large role in Polish history. A decree of the Polish kingdom is found in the archives of the Gliniany community. The decree announced that the city of Gliniany was to be referred to as the Royal Free City of Gliniany. The wordsKrolewstwo Wolny Miasto Gliniany are engraved on the seal of the city hall. Due to the privilege of appearing in the king's decree, the nobleman who owned the city no longer had the right to force residents of Gliniany to work for him as forced laborers. After the death of the Polish king, Casirmirz the Great, Polish senators traveled to Hungary and crowned King Ludwig of Hungary as king of Poland. The senators gave him the gift of the entirety of Galicia, which in those days was calledCherwony Rus [Red Russia], which was a part of Poland. When the issue became known in the kingdom of Poland, it caused tremendous dissatisfaction. In Gliniany a large meeting was held, which subsequently led to a political trial, because of the actions of the senators. Ludwig attended the trial together with a regiment of Hungarian hussars. The result of the trial was the beheading of seven Polish senators. In Polish history, the trial was known as The Tragedy of Gliniany. Many years ago there was a large district that covered a large territory. On one side there were fields and forests that extended all the way to the village of Khonochovka, near the city of Premyshlan. On the other side forests and fields stretched all the way to just south of Lemberg. Over time, the size of the territory that had belonged to the city declined, and in the 18th century the city of Gliniany, together with the neighboring gentile regions, included an area of approximately nine square miles.

THE HEYTHROP COLLEGE MAIMONIDES FRAGMENT
Offprint Original blue paper wrappers. 8vo. Pages 251-256 (ie. 6 pages) ; 22 cm. Very early article referencing the idea of the European Binding Genizah, the existence of which did not really come to full light until the 1970s. The purpose of this note is to reiterate the need, of which most librarians are fully aware, of scrutinizing the bindings of sixteenth or seventeenth-century volumes for manuscripts--especially for Hebrew manuscripts--that may have been utilized to form outer covers or inner boards. From these sources, interesting material is constantly being recovered, but a systematic investigation would very probably reveal more, especially in libraries where the majority of the books and the interests of the readers are far remote from Hebrew studies. The introduction of printing led to the supersession of hand-written books, which were too often regarded as worthless and which were, in consequence, cut up for bindings. The persecution of the Jews and the seizure of their writings is a further cause of the destruction of Hebrew MSS for this objects. Offprint from the Journal of Theological Studies 38 No 151 (July 1937) : 252-255. SUBJECT(S) : Hebrew manuscripts, Book restoration. OCLC lists no holdings worldwide.

SEFER ZIKARON LI-KEHILAT LOMZAH
1st edition, original cloth, 4to. X + 377 pages, illustrations throughout. In Hebrew. English title: Lomza- In Memory of the Jewish Community. After the end of World War I, the ethnic structure changed significantly. After Orthodox Russians and German Protestants had left Lomza, it became a city of two religions, being inhabited by Catholic Poles and Jews. After regaining independence, Lomza reached the status of a county town in Bialystok Province (from 1939 on in Warsaw Province) . It was also the local centre of trade, crafts and industry, and also the seat of garrison at the same time. A few high school operated there, and what is more, the local press in Polish and Yiddish language was published. In 1925, Pope Pius XI made Lomza the capital of Lomza Diocese. After the outbreak of World War II, on 7 September 1939, Lomza was destroyed as a result of bombing. Three days later Germans entered the city. On 28 September 1939, the city was handed over to Red Army units. Lomza was incorporated into the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. The occupiers transported to Siberia. When the war between the Germans and the Soviets began, on 22 June 1941, Lomza was bombarded by German Luftwaffe, while on 24 June occupied by Wehrmacht. In July, the city and the whole land of Bialystok were subordinated to the Gauleiter of East Prussia. A ghetto was formed in August. Jewish inhabitants and refugees from other areas were relocated there. In September 1941 about 31, 000 Jews from the ghetto were sent before a firing squad; most of those who remained were killed in Treblinka and Auschwitz-Birkenau. During the war (fights on the line of the River Narew) , in winter 1944/1945, about 70 per cent of Lomza's buildings were destroyed. The reconstructed city was the centre of county in Bialystok Province to 1975, and next it was the capital of Lomza Province, existing to 1998, as a result of an administrative reform in 1975. In 2013, the city had a status of the centre of Lomza County and a city with county rights (so-called municipal county) . (sztelt.org 2018) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Poland -- Lomz? A -- History.

1st edition. 12mo. 105, 96, 128 pages. In English, German, and Hebrew; each with own title page. Includes introductory remarks by 3 Chicago Rabbis: Emil Hirsh, Dr. S. Sola, and A. Norden. "A Wisp of Myrrh in a Bed of Spices. A narrative of interesting events in the life of Israel's bene- factor, the illustrious philanthropist, Sir Moses Montcfiore , and reflections upon his many deeds of kindness and benevolence, including elucidations of many expressions in Biblical and Talmudical literature, and a philosoph ical investigation of the general idea of the belief in the immortality of the soul and reward and punishment in the life to come, etc. Original in Classical Hebrew." The author notes, "In the year following the death of Sir Moses Montifiore, I thought of writing concerning the life and deeds of this illustrious philanthropist , and to publish the same in memory of this great benefactor of Israel. On the first day of Tyyar .5646 [6 May 1886), my task was finished" (p. 105). He also notes, After I finished writing my book ... some knowledgeable and wise people read it while it was still in manuscript ... and enjoyed it immensely ... [but] it was a great wonder to them ... for he who engages in commerce does not become wise, particularly not in this land, where the Torah is placed on the street corner and no one asks for it. And they asked me if I did not copy it from books written by famous men of great worth who toil in Torah [scholarship] ... I responded to them truthfully, that all the contents of my book are my own ideas ... and I gave them proof (p. 3) Goldman 691: Part one is a homiletic biography of Montefiore and part two contains Talmudic novellae and Biblical commentaries. . Shaffner hoped "through its sale to be enabled to assure a peaceful evening of life for himself' (p. 3). Felsenthal had encouraged Shaffner to publish it as early as 28 Sept. 1885 and he himself prepared the translation, which was completed by 22 Nov. 1886 (pp. 1-2). It is not clear whether Felsenthal was responsible for the German or the English translation, or both; BHBl and E. Felsenthal record him as the German translator. [Deinard] records that this work was published for the "fourth convention of the American Zionists [Hovevei Zion?]." Sir Moses Montefiore was a 19th-century English philanthropist. Singerman 3593.

RABBI EPHRAIM ELNCAOUA (LE RAB DR TLEMCEN) 1360-1442 [INCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR]
1st Edition. Original Red Paper Wrappers with silhouette of Lion on the front. 8vo. 16 pages ; 22cm. In French. Title translates into English as, Rabbi Ephraim Elncaoua (The Rabbi of Tlemcen) 1360-1442. Scarce Holocaust-era publication about Rabbi Ephraim ben Israel Alnaqua (1360-1442) here published in Tlemcen itself. Alnaqua was a physician, rabbi, theological writer, and founder of the Jewish community at Tlemçen, North Africa
According to a legend, Alnaqua escaped from the Spanish Inquisition, which had martyred his father and mother at the stake, and came to Maghreb mounted on a lion, using a serpent as a halter. Azulai (refered) to him as a miracle-worker. Alnaqua succeeded, after all other physicians had failed, in curing the only daughter of a king of the Zayyanid dynasty. Refusing the reward of gold and silver offered him by the king, he begged only that the Jews living near Tlemçen might be united in it. In this way the community was formed. Alnaqua's first care was to establish a large synagogue: this is still in existence (as of 1906) , and bears his name. Above the rabbi's chair, on which the verse Jer. Xvii.12 is engraved, a lamp burns perpetually. Alnaqua's grave, surrounded by those of his family, is in the old cemetery: it is sacred to North African Jews, and (as of 1906) is frequently visited by pilgrims from all Algeria

Arzt says, The moral re-awakening of America will be tremendously enhanced by tangible acts of sympathy and succor for the innocent victims of the holocaust across the seas. The Jews of America must, with increasing generosity and self-sacrifice, contribute of their means for the maintenance of the overseas program of relief. Our suffering brethren in war torn Europe will continue to hope against hope, if our thoughts, our prayers and our united efforts will be with them and for them. The religious forces in America should champion legislation for the suspension of all restrictive legislation to make possible the immediate admission of children from Europe for the duration of the war. Millions of Americans will eagerly offer the hospitality of their homes for these unfortunates. The arrival of a huge expeditionary army of little ones to these shores will immediately fortify our spirit and will generate in us a spirit of selflessness and sacrifice which will enable us to face the future with courage and confidence.
