‎WORLD WAR I. ALS. 3pgs. November 13 1914. Vienna. An autograph letter signed Libbie Tappan by an American living in Vienna at the start of World War One. Tappan writes home to her sister in America concerning wartime conditions in Vienna. She mentions lies of the media and the fear that her letter will be censored: My Dear Sister: I wrote you a letter sent 21 by a lady who was going home to America. She would amil it in New York. Irene sent one to her Mother she has received an answer to hers. SO I am wondering why I dont hear from you At that time every thing was excitement. All mails from here was stopped and now we have to leave our letters open. Irenes Mother wrote her to come home at once but we thought it was to big a risk to run. We had no idea that they were writing all lies until we got hold of an American paper. War was first declared here on account of the to be next king and his wife were killed by the Serbians. There is such a lot to tell but for fear it will never reach you I will only say the German Kaiser is not to blame. The Germans and Austrian Hungarians have never lost a battle we are not starving and there is nohere. All places of amusement were closed trotting was stopped the first of August. Things are beginning to brighten a bit now but there will be no racing until next year. Every available place is filled with wounded soldiers and we dont see much else but soldiers although there has never been a battle here in Vienna. I am so sorry about Marvin. It seems too bad he had to be taken. I hope you let Eugene and the rest of the folks know about us. We are still in no danger as long as we stay here. I am so sorry I cannot send you some money but it is impossible now. But just as soon as it can be sent will send. Remember me to all the ladies There was a call for linen for the wounded. Irene did two pounds out of my old linen. I thought of you all how busy you would be if you was here there was a ship load of red cross nurses and doctors come over some of them are here in Vienna. There were many Americans went home when your letter went. They were nearly a month on the way. I suppose it cost them a small fortune to go I dont think of any thing else just now. Will write soon again. Trust you are well and all the ladies also. Berdette & Irene sends love Ever your loving sister Libbie Tappan. An interesting first-hand account. It is in very good condition and the original envelope is enclosed. unknown‎

‎(WORLD WAR II ARCHIVE)‎

‎The Archive Of Meyer J. Frechie The Jewish American Army Officer Who Organized Covert Allied Transportation To Normandy For D-Day‎

Archive. More than 1600 pieces. 1942-1953. The archive of Lieutenant Colonel later Colonel Meyer J. Frechie. The archive primarily dates from 1942 to 1945. It includes letters to and from his family in Philadelphia including his wife young son parents and sister and military papers including some interesting material directly related to his work in Allied transportation.Frechie a graduate of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania worked as a traffic manager for the railroad and steamship industries before the war. After the United Statess entry into World War Two the military actively courted Frechie for his skill in transportation logistics. He joined the war effort as a civilian traffic manager for the Army in 1941 before officially joining the Army at the rank of Captain in February 1942 and being sent to London. There he was put in charge of coordinating the covert transport of Allied servicemen and supplies from England to Normandy for D-Day. According to the lengthy text accompanying his citation for the Legion of Merit Frechies war-time activities were in part as follows:The Operational Branch Movements Division Office of the Chief of Transportation was activated in August 1943. Lt. Col. Frechie being the only officer available with amphibious operational experience was designated Chief of said Branch. He developed his staff by sending his officers and men thru a series of strenuous exercises with the British and American Forces at various places in the United Kingdom in preparation for D-DayLt. Col. Frechie as Chief of the Operational Branch was responsible for the movement of all troops vehicles equipment and supplies for movement OVERLORD. From D-Day to 7 September 1944 a total of 1302954 personnel 260433 vehicles and 1272532 deadweight tons of supplies have been shipped from the United Kingdom ports to the Continent.

Frechie arranged for the building of scale models of various landing craft and scale wood blocks of various general purpose and special purpose vehicles to be used in movement OVERLORDParticipating in actual exercises where one or more of the plans were tested by actual execution Lt. Col. Frechie analysed the results and proceeded t make final plans for movement to implement Army requirements. Lectures were made to the Air Force and Ground Services outlining movement plans; ports and depots were visited and careful studies made of their capacity to handle the vast quantity of supplies vehicles and personnel necessary to sustain the operation. Many obstacles were confronted and surmounted by Lt. Col. Frechie in perfection of operation OVERLORDThis required the greatest flexibility in operation which the Operational Branch under Lt. Col. Frechie was able to exert with dispatchAt all times Lt. Col. Frechies superior judgment keen foresight expert planning and unselfish devotion to duty maintained an exceedingly high state of morale among the officers and men associated with him and his efforts can be directly attributed to the prolonged success of this vitally important mission of the Transportation Corps.Frechie was discharged from active duty in November 1945 and served in the Army Reserves until 1953. He was promoted to Colonel in 1946.The archive contains two large boxes and three small boxes of letters and documents. All are in at least good condition with the exception of a few torn letters.

‎1st edition. Folio. Newspaper. Illustrated throughout. Includes many advertisements and numerous personal family announcements. Following the Kristallnacht pogroms of November 1938, Jewish life in Germany and Czechoslovakia was even further curtailed and all remaining Jewish newspapers were shut down by the government. In their place, the Nazi Party ordered the creation of a single, new Jewish newspaper, "Das Jüdische Nachrichtenblatt, " that would be directly under Gestapo control. It was published concurrently in Berlin, Vienna and Prague and was occupied to a large extent with announcing the ever-increasing number of anti-Semitic discriminations, orders and exclusions imposed by the Reich government. Over the course of its history, the editors of the Jüdische Nachrichtenblatt were Leo Kreindler (1938-42) and Willi Pless (1942-43) . The Berlin edition ran from the 23rd November, 1938 until the final issue of 4th June 1943. The Prague edition continued until 1945. In a ghoulish twist of Nazi irony, Gentiles were forbidden from reading the Jüdische Nachrichtenblatt yet the newspaper's targeted readership, the Jews, were literally hounded to their deaths by the very authorities who presided over the newspaper's ownership! See Reiner Burger, Von Goebbels Gnaden: "Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt" 1938-1943 (2001) . A mixed collection of 102 issues from Berlin and Prague sold at auction in 2015 for 9225.00 USD. These issues were at one point bound, but the binding was at some point removed. The newsprint is brown and quite fragile, with edgwear and old dampstains, but there is generally little text loss, except to a few letters on the lower outer margins of the final 10 issues. Now housed in an acid-free sleeved portfolio, with each issue in a separate clear sleeve for easy protected viewing. Fair condition, but very rare, very important, and very powerful. (kh-5-47)‎

This is the first published speech given by Richard Cushing after he became Archbishop of Boston in 1944. “He served as Archbishop of Boston from 1944 to 1970, and was created a cardinal in 1958. Cushing's main role was as fundraiser and builder of new churches, schools, and institutions. He was on good terms with practically the entire Boston elite, as he softened the traditional confrontation between the Catholic Irish and the Protestant upper-class. Cushing built useful relationships with Jews, Protestants, and institutions outside the usual Catholic community. He helped presidential candidate John F. Kennedy deflect fears of papal interference in American government if a Catholic became president. Cushing's high energy level allowed him to meet with many people all day, often giving lengthy speeches at night. ” (Wikipedia, 2017) OCLC lists just 2 copies worldwide (Harvard, State Library of Massachusetts) , and none outside of Massachusetts.
