‎NEW SETTLEMENT FINANCING‎

‎First separate edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 15 pages; 22.5 cm. “The swift and apparently inexorable process of Jewish dispossession in many Central and Eastern European countries makes the early issue of such a Jewish National Loan a possible medium of saving at least a fraction of Jewish property. Had Jewish means been in time invested to a larger extent in Palestine, the tragedy of Jewish dispossession in Germany and Austria today might have been far less calamitous. ” A detailed account of the financing issues and potential solutions for infrastructure in Palestine. Granovsky explains how the donation based financing system was unsustainable for the needs of the developing country and suggests potential new long term solutions such as loans, “living legacy, ” and joint land purchase.

‎REHOVOT HA-NAHAR : SEFER HA-EYALIYUT VEHA-KOAH‎

‎1950/51. 1st edition. Original Cloth in the rare illustrated dust jacket. 8vo, 385 pages. 23 cm. In the original Hebrew. Book of Holocaust poetry published just after the Holocaust by one of the greatest 20th-century Hebrew and Yiddish poets. Leah Orent notes that "On Tisha b'Av, the day of collective mourning for Jewish national disasters both ancient and modern, it has become customary to read Holocaust literature. Greenberg's Rehovot ha-Nahar is an epic Holocaust lamentation, published in 1951. Reading a representative selection from the text, we…. Examine how the poet's private voice merges with that of his persona as spokesperson for the Jewish people, addressing a silent God in heaven and confronting the murderers on earth. We…consider the speaker's struggle to balance the guilt of a survivor with his sense of prophetic vocation. Ultimately, the collection articulates a vision of Jewish history flowing like an eternal river from Abraham to Sinai through the horrors of the Holocaust towards the revival of the kingdom of Israel and messianic redemption" (2014) . Indeed, Greenberg's poems in this collection are cited by, for example, leading Holocaust scholar David S. Wyman in "The World Reacts to the Holocaust" (Baltimore, 1996, see for example page 922) .

‎Gregor, Neil‎

‎HAUNTED CITY: NUREMBERG AND THE NAZI PAST‎

‎Publishers Cloth. 8vo. Pages. 24cm. First edition. "Nuremberg - a city associated with Nazi excesses, party rallies, and the extreme anti-Semitic propaganda published by Hitler ally Julius Streicher - has struggled since the Second World War to come to terms with the material and moral legacies of Nazism. Haunted City explores how the Nuremberg community has confronted the implications of the genocide in which it participated, while also dealing with the appalling suffering of ordinary German citizens during and after the war. Neil Gregor's compelling account of the painful process of remembering and acknowledging the Holocaust offers new insights into postwar memory in Germany and how it has operated. Gregor takes a novel approach to the theme of memory, commemoration, and remembrance, and he proposes a highly nuanced explanation for the failure of Germans to face up to the Holocaust for years after the war. His book makes a major contribution to the social and cultural history of Germany. " (Dust jacket) . Subjects: National socialism --Psychological aspects. Collective memory -- Germany -- Nuremberg.

‎JEWS IN AGRICULTURE: AN ORGANIZED FARM MOVEMENT AS A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM FOR AMERICAN JEWRY‎

‎1st Separate Edition. 6 X 13 Inches : Text Front and Back, accompanied by a photo of Gruen. “Reprinted from ‘The American Hebrew, ’ November 1, 1940.” By the 1930s, significantly-sized Jewish communities had grown up around farming towns like Farmingdale, New Jersey. The farmers built synagogues and community centers, held religious services, and celebrated Jewish holidays together. During the Depression, they raised money to help those in need, and during the years of World War II, they collected money, knitted, and sent care packages to Jews overseas. They also absorbed some of the Displaced Persons who arrived in the U. S. And were willing to work on farms. Indeed, some of these D. P. S even established their own farms, with the help of the Jewish Agricultural Society. Oscar Gruen was himself a recently arrived European refugee and was the Associate Publisher and Editor of the American Hebrew at the time of this article’s publication. Gruen (1890-1953) was also the founding editor of the first Jewish news bureau, the Juedische Pressezentrale, which published a weekly edition in Zurich from 1917 to 1940. Grün began the Pressezentrale in the wake of World War I in order to counteract what he saw as international agitation against Jews. In 1919, Grün was a member of the committee which, under the leadership of Louis Marshall, presented the Jewish case to the Paris Peace Conference and secured the inclusion of the "minority rights clause" in the various constitutions of the newly established states in Central Europe. As editor of one of the world’s leading Jewish periodicals, Grün witnessed firsthand many of the most important Jewish-related events of the time, including the 20th Zionist Congress (1937) and the Evian Conference (1938) .

‎Publishers cloth. 8vo. 319 pages. 22 cm. First American edition. Originally published as Die Mission; Vienna, Desch, 1965. Translated from the German by Michael Bullock. Janos Békessy, better known under his pen name Hans Habe (12 February 1911, Budapest – 29 September 1977, Locarno) was an Hungarian-Austrian writer and newspaper publisher. From 1941, he held U. S. Citizenship. In 1930 Bekessy began to work as a reporter for the Wiener Sonn- und Montagspost (Vienna Sunday and Monday Post) . In the following year he became Editor of the Österreichische Abendzeitung (Austrian Evening News) , one of the youngest newspaper editors ever, at age 20. At this time he married his first wife, Margit Bloch. Early in 1934 he moved to the Wiener Morgen (Vienna Morning News) . From 1935 to 1939 he was a Foreign Correspondent for the Prager Tagblatt (Prague Daily News) , stationed mostly at Geneva, covering the League of Nations. In this capacity he was present at the Evian Conference in 1938, where he met again otolaryngologist Heinrich Neumann von Héthárs who had performed an operation upon Habe 13 years before, and was a friend of his family. Habe described the course of the Conference in his novel The Mission (1965) ; dedicated to the memory of Heinrich Neumann.

At this time Habe was married to his second wife, Erika Levy, the heiress of the Tungsram light bulb company. Subjects: Physicians - Fiction. Jews - Persecutions - Europe - Fiction.
