Wir danken ganz besonders Herrn Adolf Diamant, der uns in unserer Arbeit unterstützt, daß er einer solchen für die Forschungsarbeit nötigen Neuherausgabe des vergriffenen Textes zugestimmt hat. An dieser Stelle sei darauf verwiesen, daß es durch die Forschungsarbeit von Herrn Adolf Diamant ein weiteres sehr wichtiges Hilfsmittel für das Studium der NS-Zeit in Frankfurt/M gibt: Sein Buch über die GESTAPO in Frankfurt/M ist ein einzigartiges Dokument, über Aufbau und Zusammensetzung dieses zentralen Instrumentes der Nazi-Diktatur. Es zeigt, daß die Täter, die nach 1945 ja nicht vom Erdboden verschluckt waren, Namen und Adresse hatten. Beide von Adolf Diamant herausgegeben Bücher über das Wirken des NS-Regimes in Frankfurt/M mahnen uns, daß eine ehrliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte die Kenntnis der Geschichte der Opfer und die Kenntnis der Geschichte der Täter erfordert. ? (Vorwort Benjamin Ortmeyer) // ... Man kann die Gefühle und Gedanken der Deportierten, die in den Güterwaggons nach den Vernichtungslagern des Ostens fuhren, nicht beschreiben. Weinende Kinder, verzweifelte Mütter und auf tiefste depremierte Menschen, darunter Professoren, Ärzte und verdiente Wissenschaftler, rollten ins Ungewisse der Zukunft. Der Bestimmungsort war unbekannt. Auch die Ankunft in Auschwitz und das Durchlaufen der Selektionsrampe sagte noch nichts von dem schrecklichen Tod in den Gaskammern, den die anderen Deportierten erleiden mußten. Wenn man die quälend lange Liste der Deportierten durchsieht, kann man nicht erfassen, welche erschütternde Tragik sich dahinter verbirgt. Nur noch die wenigen Überlebenden, darunter der Unterzeichnete, können der Nachwelt übermitteln, was es bedeutet, aus langvertrauter Umgebung, von Freunden und Familie gewaltsam herausgerissen zu werden und in erniedrigenden Umständen - unter den Augen unbeteiligter christlicher Bürger - wie Verbrecher zu den Zügen geführt zu werden. Den zufällig überlebenden dieser infernalischen Schrecknisse steckt der brennende Stachel des unmenschlichen Geschehens tief im Fleisch. So entsteht die tiefe Verpflichtung derer hier zu gedenken, die um ihres Glaubens willen gepeinigt und ermordet wurden. Die schreckliche Bilanz ergibt folgendes: Von den 10231 Juden, die aus Frankfurt deportiert wurden, wurden rund 670, meist alte und schwer kranke Menschen, aus Theresienstadt nach Frankfurt am Main zurückgeholt, einige wenige Juden tauchten aus der Illegalität auf, die Vernichtungslager überlebten nur eine Handvoll Juden. Umgekommen sind von den aus Frankfurt deportierten Juden rund 9.500. (Vorwort A. Diamant, 1984)‎

‎POETKA VOHNIANYKH MEZH: OLENA TELIHA = THE POETESS OF FIERY LIMITS: OLENA TELIHA‎

‎Original Wrappers. 8vo. 95 pages. 22 cm. First Editon. About the life and poetry of Olena Teliha written by Dmytro Dontsov, a fellow member of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists . Olena Teliha was a Ukrainian Nationalist poet and leader. "From 1933 [Olena Teliha] contributed to the nationalist journal Vistnyk (Lviv) . In Cracow from 1939 to 1941, she headed the literary-artistic society Zarevo and together with Oleh Olzhych worked in the cultural sector of the Leadership of Ukrainian Nationalists. With the outbreak of the war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union she moved to Lviv and then left with the OUN expeditionary groups for Kyiv in 1941. There she became head of the Writers' Union and editor of the literary weekly Litavry (Kyiv) . When the Nazi regime closed down Litavry's parent newspaper, "Ukrainske slovo" (1941) , and replaced it with the pro-regime "Nove ukrainske slovoa", Teliha refused to co-operate. She was arrested by the Gestapo and shot, together with other Ukrainian nationalists." (Encyclopedia of Ukraine) In 2005, researcher Kateryna Kryvoruchko discovered previously unknown poetry written by Teliha. Included in the collection is "Drained That Goblet Thousands of Times" believed to have been written as late as 1940, two years before Teliha's death. "'Drained That Goblet Thousands Of Times' is a symbolic poem written in response to the allegation that the poet led on the theoretician of Ukrainian nationalism, Dmytro Dontsov. "The newly discovered poem contains a response to Olena's ill-wishers: she and the unnamed man (most likely Dontsov) are friends, comrades in arms, and nothing more." (Tysiachna, The Long Return, 2005, day. Kiev. Ua) Dmytro Dontsov was a political journalist, editor, literary critic and theorist for the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. After emigrating to Canada in the late 1940's, his strong opposition to Russia, and unending support of Ukrainian independence was still present in his writing and work in continued support of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.

The author also published in 1955 a Yiddish volume concerning the ‘Remilitarization of West Germany and the Role of Hitler’s Generals’. Written by Artur Eisenbach (1906–1992) , a “Polish Jewish historian. Artur Eisenbach was one of the last representatives of a distinguished group of scholars who, in the years before World War I and in independent Poland between 1918 and 1939, laid the foundation for an investigation of the Polish Jewish past. … He was influenced primarily by the Marxist school of Jewish historians, in particular by Raphael Mahler and Emanuel Ringelblum (whose sister he married) . Eisenbach was an active member of the Yunger Historiker Krayz (Young Historians Circle) founded by Mahler and Ringelblum. Eisenbach spent World War II in the Soviet Union, but his wife and child were trapped in Buczacz, where they were murdered by the Nazis in 1942. After his return to Poland in May 1946, he worked at the Central Historical Commission of the Central Committee of Polish Jews. When the Jewish Historical Institute was established later that year, he was appointed head of its archives, and subsequently became a researcher. In the decade following the war, Eisenbach devoted himself entirely to studying the Holocaust. Later he gradually returned to the theme that he had devoted himself to before the war—Jewish emancipation in the first half of the nineteenth century. In 1966, he became a member of the Committee for the Historical Sciences at the Polish Academy of Sciences and was awarded the title of professor. In the same year, he was appointed director of the Jewish Historical Institute. In 1968, Eisenbach was forced to resign his latter position, and retained only his title at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He decided not to emigrate and in the following years produced a series of monographs on Polish Jewish problems in the first half of the nineteenth century, research that formed the essential basis for future work on this subject. He also continued to work on Holocaust themes, editing Ringelblum’s diary and essay on Polish–Jewish relations. In his last years, he moved to Israel, where he had a nephew and where, active as ever, he worked on an account of Polish–Jewish relations in the nineteenth century. ” (Yivo Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe) .
