She wrote several novels and a handful of poems. The communist government in Poland named countless streets and schools after her and she was one of the most notable figures in communist society. Some of her books were obligatory at school after the war. " (Wikipedia, 2017) OCLC lists 12 copies worldwide. Pages are toned, and nearing brittle. One corner folded.

Waskow, Arthur I.
THE FREEDOM SEDER: A NEW HAGGADAH FOR PASSOVER
First trade edition. Original boards with dramatic dust jacket present. 16mo. 56 pages. 13 cm. With distinctive illustrations by Lloyd Mcneill, an influential musican and artist. This text originally appeared in Ramparts Magazine, February 1969. An attractively designed, civil rights era Freedom Seder; this edition has influenced countless similar pieces and interfaith Passover celebrations from college campuses to the contemporary White House. Originally published by The Micah Press, this is essentially the first commercial edition. Arthur Waskow, founding member of the Institute for Policy Studies, was active in progressive Washington D. C. Politics throughout the 1960s. In 1969, Waskow's life took a new turn, toward leadership in the renewal of Jewish life in America. This work first began when Waskow wrote The Freedom Seder, a Passover Haggadah that wove together the traditional text with passages from leaders of social justice movements, such as Martin Luther King. (EJ 2007) From the preface to the first edition: "One of my earliest and warmest memories is that of my father reciting the Dayenu, the chant of rebellion, liberation, travail, and the creation of a new law that is the story of Passover. One of my latest and warmest memories is that of working with my wife and children to make of our own Passover Seder something that would speak to our deep concerns about our selves and our world. Our efforts became sharper and more urgent in 1968, when the Passover came one bare week after the murder of Martin Luther King, the April uprising of black Washington against the blank-eyed pyramid-builders of our own time, and the military occupation of our city. Who in those days could forget that the prophet King had remembered Moses? -- had spoken of how he had been to the mountain-top, had seen e promised land, but might never enter. ... And then we realized that in 1969, the third night of Passover, April 4, would be the first anniversary of King's death. Facing those dates, we found our deepest feelings best expressed in a fusion of the traditional Seder with a new song of freedomboth the freedom of men in relation to each other and the freedom of men in relation to God..." SUBJECTS: Passover - Prayers and devotions. Haggadah. Civil Rights Movement Passover. Very Good Condition in Very Good- Jacket with a bit of edgewear. (HAG-12-1D)

Waton, Harry
A Program for the Jews and An Answer to All Anti-Semites: A Program For Humanity
231, [1] pages. 9.2" x 6.3". Waton (1871-1959) was a Jewish philosopher keenly interested in the works of Marx and Spinoza. In the Foreword, dated 1939, he states "I convinced myself that human society is irresistibly and inevitably moving towards state capitalism and fascism. Further reflection also convinced me that this social transformation would inevitably bring upon the Jews great suffering. How could the Jews face this world situation? This question occupied my mind for the last twelve years. At last I reached the conclusion which I embodied in a program for the Jews. When the Jews declared war against Nazi Germany and fascism (in 1933), I saw that as a suicidal policy. Thus passed more than five years of ever-increasing suffering for the Jews. When the situation became so grave that the Jews themselves began to realize the gravity of the situation, the Spinoza Institute of America asked me to formulate my program." On page 199 he adds "We have to face the fact that the Leader of the German people has no doubt in his mind that the Jewish problem is the centre of all problems, not merely in Germany, but in the world. It is useless to dismiss this as an illusion, because if it is, it demands explanation. But it is no illusion." Brilliant gilt lettering upon front board. Light external wear. Binding tight. Faint patches of soiling to boards. Occasional light pencil marginalia and underlining until page 21. Moderate age-toning to contents. It is left to readers to ponder the impact Waton's program could have had upon twentieth-century history. Book

YAKAR LEMORDECAI =[YEKAR LE-MORDEKHAI]: JUBILEE VOLUME IN HONOR OF RABBI MORDECAI WAXMAN: ESSAYS ON JEWISH THOUGHT, AMERICAN JUDAISM, AND JEWISH-CHRISTIAN RELATIONS
Hardcover, 8vo, x, 394 pages, portrait, 24 cm. SUBJECT (S) : Judaism. Christianity and other religions -- Judaism. Judaism -- Relations -- Christianity. Judaism -- United States. Includes bibliographical references. Other Titles: Yekar le-Mordekhai. Waxman (1917-2000) was a U. S. Conservative rabbi, interfaith activist. Waxman was born in Albany, N. Y. , and received his B. A. From 1937. In 1941, he was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary , which awarded him an honorary D. D. In 1968. After serving as rabbi of Temple Beth Israel in Niagara Falls, N. Y. , he became founding rabbi of North Park Congregation Shaare Tikvah in Chicago, Illinois, leaving the synagogue for two years during World War II to serve as a chaplain in the U. S. Army. In 1947, he was appointed rabbi of Temple Israel in Great Neck, Long Island, where he remained for 55 years, until his death. Under his leadership, Temple Israel grew from 100 member families to 1, 300 families. Waxman emerged as a leader in the Conservative movement after he edited and wrote the introduction to Tradition and Change, the definitive anthology of writings on the views and philosophy of Conservative Judaism. He became chairman of the Membership Committee of the Rabbinical Assembly and subsequently editor of the journal Conservative Judaism. He also chaired the RAs Committee on the Study and Reevaluation of the Community Service Program a requirement that JTS graduates enter the military chaplaincy or a designated alternative equivalent that had become so unpopular during the Vietnam War that it was terminated. In 1974, Waxman was elected president of the Rabbinical Assembly, where he worked to strengthen RA representation in the World Council of Synagogues, the official representative of Conservative Judaism in the World Zionist Organization. Seeking to establish Conservative Judaism in Israel, he pressed for greater coordination among the various Israel programs sponsored by the RA, the JTS, and United Synagogue. Also during his term of office, the RA approved the plan to publish a new commentary on the Torah for use in Conservative synagogues...Waxman, who served as chairman of the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultation, was particularly active in Catholic-Jewish relations. In 1987, he led a delegation of Jewish leaders that met with Pope John Paul II at Castel Gondolfo to resolve the Waldheim affair. Soon after, he spoke for American Jewry in welcoming the pope to the United States. For many years thereafter, Waxman and Cardinal William Keeler of Baltimore co-chaired an annual series of Catholic-Jewish dialogues. He helped draft the welcoming Jewish response to the Vatican document We Remember: A Reflection on the Shoah and worked to implement its mandate that Jews and Catholics sponsor joint educational programs on the Holocaust. His efforts were instrumental in bringing about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the State of Israel. In 1997 he was awarded the Nostra Aetate Award, and in 1998 he became the first rabbi to be named by the pope a Knight Commander of the Order St. Gregory the Great.. (Gordon in EJ, 2007) .

Wayland, Francis
[THE DEPENDENCE OF SCIENCE UPON RELIGION: ] A DISCOURSE: DELIVERED AT THE DEDICATION OF MANNING HALL, THE CHAPEL AND LIBRARY OF BROWN UNIVERSITY, FEB. 4, 1835
1st Edition. Original Wrappers. 8vo. 40 pages ; 22 cm. A very early American example of a University president discussing the admission of Jews into American Universities and making a case for religious tolerance. Francis Wayland Brown, who was president of Brown University for 28 years (from 1827 until 1849) , ends his address by stating, The Founders of (Brown University) were animated with the most liberal and catholic spirit
Young gentlemen of the Hebrew persuasion were formally exempted from the law which commanded, on penalty of expulsion, that no student should deny the divine authority of the Old and New Testaments. Furthermore, at their annual meting in 1770, the Corporation passed a resolution appointing the President and the Chancellor to inform a distinguished Jew in the city of Charleston (S. C. ) that the children of Jews may be admitted into this Institution, and entirely enjoy the freedom of their own religion , without any constraint or imposition whatever! These are curious and valuable memorials of by-gone times. They indicate, on the part of the founders of the College, a delicate regard to the rights of conscience
(and) to religious toleration, for, which it is believed, no parallels can be found in the history of similar Institutions. An excellent primary source on American Jewish-Christian relations in the early 19th century. Additional information: Manning Hall, opened in 1834, was the third major building constructed on Brown University's campus. Designed as a double-sized replica of the Doric-order temple of Diana-Propylea in Eleusis, Manning Hall originally housed the university's first free-standing library and its chapel. Later, the building served as a museum of classical antiquities, an architectural drawing studio, and an undergraduate lecture space. In 1959, the upper floor was returned to its original role as the University's chapel, after a hiatus of 65 years. Currently, Manning Hall houses the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology's exhibitions and Manning Chapel. (brown.edu, 2017) Pages are creased in vertically across the middle. Small tear to final page with no text effected. Overall about very good condition. (AMR-52-13)

Original Boards. 8vo. 123 pages. 22 cm. Illustrated. First edition. Includes two black and white period photographs. In Commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto by one of the Leaders of the Uprising. Succinctly and powerfully recounts the experiences of the author, a founding member of the Jewish Military Union, and important witness during the trial of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann. (EJ 2007) Because the author was a leader of a major Jewish political party in Poland he is able to give us an understanding of the historical and social conditions that preceded the holocaust and gave it its impetus. Because he is a trained psychiatrist, we get illuminating insights into the behavior of the individuals and the masses, both heroic and inhumanly brutal, that determined the tragic destiny of the Jews throughout Europe. (Dust jacket) . Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -- Poland -- Warsaw -- Personal narratives. Wdowinski, David, 1895-1970. Warsaw (Poland) -- History -- Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, 1943. Light shelf wear to DJ. Unobtrusive label and name of previous owner on front endpage. Very good condition. (HOLO2-107-29)
