Abells, Chana Byers
THE CHILDREN WE REMEMBER: PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE ARCHIVES OF YAD VASHEM, JERUSALEM, ISRAEL
Publishers cloth. 8vo. [48] pages. 22 cm. First edition. 41 illustrations. First published by Kar-Ben, Abell's book uses a chronological organization, beginning with 'Before the Nazis . . . Some children lived in towns like this, showing ordinary settings. Later, children are seen hungry in the streets; one is shot while being held by a woman. The pictures of happier times, the naming of specific children who died, and an economy of words increase the ghastly impact. Total despair does not reign; some children survive. Young readers will feel empowered almost saved through identification by these children's strategies for rescue, hiding and escape. The book is meant to be shared with someone who can explain the images; its message is one that richly deserves a wide audience.

Sherman, A. J. (Ari Joshua)
ISLAND REFUGE; BRITAIN AND REFUGEES FROM THE THIRD REICH, 1933-1939
Publishers cloth. 8vo. 291 pages. 23 cm. First American edition. The acrimonious debate over British policy towards refugees from the Nazi régime has scarcely died down even now, some 60 years later. Bitter charges of indifference and lack of feeling are still levelled at politicians and civil servants, and the assertion is made that Great Britain's record on refugee matters is shabby and unworthy of its liberal traditions. Island Refuge is the definitive account of a largely unexplored and still highly controversial episode in twentieth-century history. (Publishers description) Subjects: Jews - Persecutions - Germany. Politieke vluchtelingen. Joden. Auswanderung. Drittes Reich. Einwanderung. Geschichte 1933-1939. Great Britain - Emigration and immigration - History.

INOSTRANNYE EVREI V TROSTENETSKOM LAGERE SMERTI
Original Wrappers. 8vo. 19 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Russian. Title translates as, Foreign Jews in the Trostenets Death Camp. E. G. Joffe is a leading historian regarding the Holocaust in Belarus. He has written thoroughly on the subject and among other titles is a board member of the national historic Society and Foundation in Trostenets. Maly Trotenests was a village in Eastern Bellrussia located 7.5 miles east of Minsk; camp and site of mass murder of Jews. About 200, 000 people were murdered in the Trostenets area. About 65, 000 were killed in Maly Trostenets, including over 30, 000 from the last major action in Minsk. Between July 28--31, 1942 and on October 21, 1943 the last Jews from Minsk were murdered and buried in Maly Trostenets and Bolshoi Trostenets. During 1942, Jews from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia were brought by train to be killed in Maly Trostenets. Most of the victims were lined up in front of large pits and shot. Tractors then flattened the pits out. The prisoners in the camp were forced to sort through the victims' possessions and maintain the camp. They occasionally underwent selections (see also Selktion) . This happened more frequently during 1943. In the fall of 1943 the Nazis began to destroy all evidence of mass murder by burning bodies. Soviet Prisoners of war were forced to rake through the ashes looking for gold. As the Soviet army approached in June 1944, the Germans killed most of the remaining prisoners. On June 30 the Germans completely destroyed the camp. When the Soviets arrived on July 3, they found a few Jews who had escaped. (yadvashem.org) Subjects: Jews, German -- Belarus.

REVIEW: THE TREE OF COMMONWEALTH (EDMUND DUDLEY)
Original Wraps. 4to. [267-269] (ie. 3) pages. 26 cm. Offprint. An offprint from Speculum, A Journal of Mediaeval Studies, Vol. XXIV, April, 1949, No. 2. A brief review by George L. Mosse of the reissue of 'Tree of Commonwealth', edited by D. M. Brodie, 1949. The Tree of Commonwealth was written in 1509 during the imprisonment of Edmund Dudley, who was soon to be executed owing to the clamour of the landed classes after his period of royal treasurer, wherein he conspicuously mulcted the landed and merchant classes to the benefit of Henry VII. Mosse welcomes the republication of this volume, as it is a great benefit to Tudor studies; his review serves to bring into relief all the failing points of D. M. Brodie's introduction and editing, specifically the claims concerning a new political thought of Dudley. Subjects: Edmund Dudley Tree of Commonwealth Political Philosophy Tudorism. Review Tree of Commonwealth. Lightly bumped edges, otherwise fresh. Very good condition. (MOSS-1-19) Xxxxx

Original printed wrappers. 4to. 11 pages. 30cm. In German. Compact tabloid format internally, with broadsheet printed covers. Title translates as The Curse and Inescapable Destiny of the Jews. Written by Kurt Reiss, under the pseudonym Abraham Cohen. This Antisemitic, millenarian polemic situates itself alongside the numerous Antisemitic conspiracy theories clinging to the fringes of early Nazi propaganda, a kind of millenialist Nazi-Zionism that calls for the Jews to be returned to Palestine to bring about the second coming of Jesus. In this piece, Reiss celebrates Hitler as the latest confirmation that the Jews are the chosen people, and sees Hitler as a guide and shepherd that will prevent the assimilation of the Jewish people and help bring them to Palestine to facilitate the final salvation. Kurt [Reiss] left school at the age of 15 and developed an interest in religion. He believed that the Jews should recognize Jesus Christ as their Messiah. He also attempted to secure patents for mechanical inventions. Kurt convinced the family to emigrate to Canada. According to a family member Kurt suffered from mental illness.

Like other members of MARS he was attacked and arrested for his 'unpolitical' literary works, but managed to save himself from execution by feigning insanity.

Nonetheless he resumed his literary career in 1943 in Lviv with the publication of his fourth collection of poetry, Suchasnykam (To My Contemporaries) . In the displaced persons camps, where he was a member of the MUR literary organization, he published his epic poem, written in octaves, Poet (Poet, 1946) , as well as his first prose work, Starshyi Boiaryn (The Best Man, 1946)."
