Seixas, Gershom Mendes
A RELIGIOUS DISCOURSE: THANKSGIVING DAY SERMON, NOVEMBER 26, 1789
[1789] Original illustrated paper wrappers. 8vo. XVI, 16 pages. 23 cm. Introduction by Isidore S. Meyer, followed by a photostatic reproduction of the 1789 edition of the sermon given by Gershom Mendes Seixas, original title: A religious discourse delivered in the synagogue in this city, on Thursday the 26th November, 1789. Agreeable to the proclamation of the president of the United States of America, to be observed as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer. Printed by Archibald M'Lean, at Franklin's Head no. 41, Hanover-Square. Introduction outlines contemporaneous historical background, with reference and bibliographic notes. Sermon delivered by Gershom Mendez Seixas. American rabbi and patriot; born in New York city Jan. 14, 1745; died there July 2, 1816; son of Isaac Mendez Seixas (1708-80) and Rachel Levy, daughter of Moses Levy, an early New York merchant. Seixas became the minister of Shearith Israel, the Spanish and Portuguese congregation of his native city, in 1766, and occupied the rabbinate for about half a century. At the outbreak of the American Revolution he at once espoused the Patriot cause, though many of the Christian ministers of the city sympathized with the Tories.
After the war Seixas returned to New York (March 23, 1784) and resumed his former position as rabbi of Congregation Shearith Israel. He was one of the first ministers to preach a regular Thanks-giving Day sermon (see Daily Gazette, Dec. 23, 1789) , and was also one of the fourteen clergymen participating in the ceremony of the inauguration of George Washington as first president of the United States. In 1787 he became a trustee of Columbia College in the city of New York, and held that office continuously to 1815, being the only Jew ever so honored. When the college was incorporated, Seixas' name appeared in the charter as one of the incorporators. (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia) . Publications of the Jewish Historical Society of New York; number 2.

Stern, Malcolm H. ; Marc Angel
NEW YORK'S EARLY JEWS: SOME MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS. A LECTURE BY MALCOLM H. STERN, WITH RESPONSE BY MARC D. ANGEL.
Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 28 pages. 22 cm. "Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Jewish Historical Society of New York held at Congregation Shearith Israel, the Spanish & Portugese Synagogue on April 10, 1975." An insightful lecture correcting common misconceptions about early American Jewish History as demonstrated in historical errata discovered throughout years of research, i. E. : the mention of Solomon Stern, an Amsterdam Jew stranded in Boston in 1649, the Jews from Brazil who landed in 1654 being met by a Jacob Barsimson, the boat being in actuality named the Ste Catherine and not the St. Charles, the sprinkling of Ashkenazim among the first Sephardim in America, Marranos in Savannah, Georgia, etc. ; the response of Marc Angel attempts to highlight what Sterns research indicates, the questions it opens, as well as highlighting recent research on the interrelations of Ashkenazim and Sephardim in America and Europe, such as Spanish inscriptions on Ashkenazic tombs. Malcolm H. Stern (19151984) was a "U. S. Reform rabbi, historian, [&] genealogist. Stern, who has been called the father of Jewish genealogy in America, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1981, Stern joined the faculty of the New York campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, initially as counselor for student field work and subsequently as adjunct professor of American Jewish History. There he continued his research, begun in 1950, as genealogist for the American Jewish Archives and the American Historical Society. Stern compiled the pioneering volume American Families of Jewish Descent (1960) , an eight-pound tome containing 26, 000 names researched over the course of 10 years of labor. It was the first genealogical survey of Jewish families who settled in the United States between 1654 and 1840, and was lauded as an invaluable research tool in the fields of American and Jewish history. Many American Protestants and Catholics first learned of Jewish roots and branches in their family trees from Stern's data, which served as an important source for Stephen Birmingham's best-selling novel, The Grandees.

Angoff, Charles
EMMA LAZARUS, POET, JEWISH ACTIVIST, PIONEER ZIONIST
Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 12 pages. 23 cm. Printed in brown ink on cream paper, with illustrated wraps. Contains the lecture delivered by Charles Angoff to commemorate the poem The New Colossus at the base of the Statue of Liberty in 1978, which affords extensive documentation of the literary biography and political activism of Emma Lazarus, one of the first renowned Jewish writers in American literary history. Includes facsimile copy of the manuscript of New Colossus as well portrait of Emma Lazarus; with frontispiece dedication to Charles Angoff and his portrait as well, who did not live to see this publication in print. Emma Lazarus (18491887) , U. S. Poet, essayist, and activist. Lazarus was born in New York on July 22, 1849, to Moses Lazarus, a wealthy industrialist of Sephardi heritage, and his wife Esther Nathan Lazarus of Ashkenazi background. Both sides of her family had been in America since the Revolution. Lazarus, who was educated at home by private tutors, was originally attracted to classical and romantic art and literature. During the course of her career, she struck up tutelary relationships with important male writers, especially Ralph Waldo Emerson, and including Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Henry James. Her early works included Poems and Translations: Written Between the Ages of Fourteen and Sixteen, published privately by her father in 1867, a novel Alide: An Episode of Goethe's Life (1874) , and a historical tragedy, The Spagnoletto (1876) , as well as a translation of poems by Heinrich Heine, accompanied by a biographical study. By the time she wrote her best-known poem, The New Colossus (1883) , a hymn to America, the Mother of Exiles, she had repudiated the glorification of male conquering power, aestheticism, and empty ceremony and asserted instead the power of womanhood, the comfort of motherhood, and the Hebraic prophetic values of compassion and consolation. Lazarus began her return to Jewish tradition in the late 1870s, studying Hebrew and reading Graetz's History of the Jews and George Eliot's novel Daniel Deronda, with its plea for a Jewish national revival. Lazarus began to publish translations of the medieval Spanish-Jewish poets, Judah Halevi , Solomon ibn Gabirol , and others. The Russian pogroms of 1881 and the May Laws of 1882 fired both her social consciousness and her poetic imagination, prompting a series of essays in American journals, especially in Century Magazine (May 1882) , where she replied to an antisemitic article by a Russian journalist, Madame Z. Ragozin. The Dance Unto Death, a verse tragedy about the burning of the Jews of Nordhausen during the Black Death appeared in Songs of a Semite (1882) , dedicated to George Eliot, the illustrious writer who did most among the artists of our day towards elevating and ennobling the spirit of Jewish Nationality. Lazarus's series of 14 essays, ironically entitled Epistle to the Hebrews, written from November 1882 to February 1883, were intended to bring before the Jewish public
facts and critical observations
to arouse a more logical and intelligent estimate of the duties of the hour. Lazarus also involved herself in the practical work of helping new immigrants adjust to America, founding the Hebrew Technical Institute for Vocational Training. In 1883 she sailed to London, armed with letters of introduction from Henry James to well-placed people in England, Jews and non-Jews, who might help her in her effort towards the establishment of a Jewish national home-land. A decade before Theodore Herzl launched the Zionist movement, Lazarus argued in poetry and prose for Palestine as a safe haven for oppressed Jews everywhere. Lazarus, who never married, died of cancer at the age of 38. After her death, her sister, Josephine Lazarus, prohibited the inclusion of anything Jewish in the collected edition of her works that appeared in 1889. The New Colossus, with its famous image of huddled masses yearning to breathe free, was engraved on a memorial plaque and affixed to the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in 1903.

American Jewish Historical Society
HAYM SALOMON, A GENTLEMAN OF PRECISION AND INTEGRITY
Original paper wrappers. 4to. 16 pages. 28 cm. A Bicentennial publication on the life, times and personal papers of the celebrated American Jewish patriot whose efforts helped finance Washingtons army and secure American Independence. Staple bound in fine paper wraps with raised signature title, fine tissue endpapers, background illustrations throughout, all text in red and brown ink, thirty four illustrations, and biographical chronology at end. Text details the life of Haym Salomon (Solomon) (17401785) , early American merchant and Revolutionary War patriot. Salomon, who was born in Lissa, Poland, arrived in New York about 1775 after wandering in Europe and became one of the most prominent 18th-century American Jews. During the Revolutionary War he was a distiller and sutler to the American army, and was captured as a spy by the British. His life was spared, and he served as an interpreter in their commissary department. Continuing to give information to the Americans, he assisted their prisoners to escape British captivity while operating a profitable victualing business in New York City under British occupation. Married to Rachel Franks in 1777, he had to flee a year later to Philadelphia, where he began a brokerage and commission business. In 1781 he became an assistant to Robert Morris, superintendent of the Office of Finance, after serving in a similar capacity as broker and treasurer for the huge expenses of the French army stationed in America. Morris characterized him as useful to the public interest. Salomon also lent money without charge to impecunious members of the Continental Congress, among them James Madison, who recommended him as our little friend in Front Street. In 1784 Salomon expanded his business activities to New York, opening a brokerage and auctioneering house there with Jacob Mordecai. A mason, Salomon was a major contributor in 1782 to the Congregation Mikveh Israel building, Philadelphia. He argued against a New Testament oath taken by officeholders in Pennsylvania and worked for political rights of Jews. Though a successful merchant, Salomon invested most of his money in Continental stocks and bonds, and his accounts showed a deficit at the time of his death. The newspaper obituary referred to him as an eminent broker of this city
remarkable for his skill and integrity in his profession, and for his generous and human deportment. He left four children and a widow, who later married David Hilborn. By 1799 she was living in the Batavian Republic.
Exaggerated claims were made for Salomon's services to the American Revolution, largely as a point of Jewish apologetics. Without question, however, he was a vigorous patriot at great personal risk, and a competent financial servant of American independence and of some of its leaders.

Conference On Jewish Relations (U. S. ) . Medical Committee On Research.
JEWS AND MEDICINE - TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW.
Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 8 pages. 23 cm. Holocaust-era Publication by the Medical Committee of the organization Conference on Jewish Relations; this sociological study outlines the findings of research into the medical profession, the ratio of Jewish doctors to population, their dispersal geographically in the United States (with an accompanying map) , and proposals for the need to eliminate the quota system in the higher education system which prevents Jews from entering into diverse professions, as well as a proposal for where doctors in exile from the troubles in Europe can emigrate to (specifically, areas with low concentrations, not only of Jewish doctors, but doctors in general) . What is the status of Jews in the field of medicine, and what are their prospects? Are too many of them crowding the profession or are many turned away unjustly? How extensive or justified is the limitation on Jews in medical schools, on hospital staffs, or in certain specialized medical societies? Has our general standard of medical practice been sufficiently high to deserve greater prestige? What does the future hold out for us and what if anything should we do about it? The Conference on Jewish Relations has been studying these and other questions in the conviction that there can be no sound policies of proper adjustment to our fellow citizens without an adequate basis of accurate information as to the actual conditions. The piece also outlines, besides the systemic Antisemitism of the higher university system, the social Antisemitism of towns and locales wherein hotels or businesses bar Jews from admittance, owing to the presence of Nazi and K K K organizations, the same types of groups who repeatedly stereotype the Jew practicing medicine. Includes original laid-in business reply envelope of the Conference on Jewish Relations. The Conference on Jewish Relations was later known as the Conference on Jewish Social Studies; the Conference published the journal Jewish Social Studies. Subjects: Jewish physicians. Two listings on OCLC (HUC, UT Austin) . Clean and fresh. Very good + condition. (LB-5-34)

DI HITLERISTISHE POLITIK FUN YIDN-FARNIKHTUNG: IN DI YORN 1939-1945: VI AN OYSDRUK FUN DAYTSHISHN IMPERYALIZM [ERSHTER BUKH]
Original Wraps. 8vo. 222, [2] pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Yiddish. Book one only. The Hitlerite Policy of Jewish-Destruction, in the years 1939-1945; an expression of German imperialism. At head of title: Yidisher Historisher Institut in Poyln. The author also published in 1955 a Yiddish volume concerning the Remilitarization of West Germany and the Role of Hitlers Generals. Written by Artur Eisenbach (19061992) , 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 warJewish 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 Ringelblums diary and essay on PolishJewish 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 PolishJewish relations in the nineteenth century.

DE GELE STER: DE JODENVERVOLGING IN EUROPA VAN 1933 TOT 1945
Publishers cloth. 4to. 223 pages. 26 cm. First Dutch edition. Translated from the German. The Yellow Star: The Persecution of the Jews in Europe, 1933-1945. With 196 photographs. Originally published in 1960 in German as Der Gelbe Stern, this landmark book was one of the first comprehensive photographic accounts of the Holocaust. During the 1950s, researchers in Washington, D. C. And London pored over more than 1, 500 tons of photographs and documents seized after World War II. In 1960 Gerhard Schoenberner gathered some 200 photographs from the newly uncovered material, most of them taken by Nazis to chronicle their war against the Jews. Schoenberner named the book after the yellow badge that the Nazis forced the persecuted Jews to wear. With its comprehensive, authoritative presentation of visual and textual evidence, much of which had not yet not been seen before, The Yellow Star shocked the German population and introduced the world to many haunting images. The book endures as one of the most important documentary accounts of the Holocaust, reprinted in many German editions and published in eight languages. The photographs are accompanied by extracts from Nazi and German documents-laws, decrees, and other Reich memoranda, field reports from SS officers and concentration camp directors, newspaper editorials, and other writings. Schoenberner also provides detailed captions to the photographs. Organized chronologically, the book follows the growing scope and terror of the Holocaust, from the first anti-Jewish laws and Kristallnacht to ghetto uprisings and the Final Solution, culminating in the liberation of the death camps.

SAMUEL BAK: RETURN TO VILNA
Original illustrated wraps. 4to. 44 pages. 28 cm. First edition. Catalog of two exhibitions, Return to Vilna I and Return to Vilna II, held between 31 August and 20 November, 2002 at Pucker Gallery, Boston, Mass. With 67 full color illustrations. Samuel Bak was born in Vilna. A few years later the area was incorporated into the independent republic of Lithuania. He was eight when the Germans occupied the city. Bak began painting while still a child and, prompted by the well-known Yiddish poet Abraham Sutzkever, held his first exhibition (in the Vilna ghetto) in 1942 at the age of nine. From the ghetto the family was sent to a labor camp on the outskirts of the city. Bak's father managed to save his son by dropping him in a sack out of a ground floor window of the warehouse where he was working; he was met by a maid and brought to the house where his mother was hiding. His father was shot by the Germans in July 1944, a few days before Soviet troops liberated the city. His four grandparents had earlier been executed at the killing site outside Vilna called Ponary. After the war, the young Bak continued painting at the Displaced Persons camp in Landsberg, Germany (194548) , where he also studied painting in Munich. In 1948, he and his mother immigrated to Israel, where he studied for a year at the Bezalel Art School in Jerusalem. After fulfilling his military service, he spent three years (195659) at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He then moved to Rome (195966) , returned to Israel (196674) , and lived for a time in New York City (197477) . There followed further years in Israel and Paris, then a long stay in Switzerland (198493) . From 1993 Bak lived and worked outside Boston, in Weston, Massachusetts.

Brenner, David A.
GERMAN-JEWISH POPULAR CULTURE BEFORE THE HOLOCAUST: KAFKA'S KITSCH
Publishers Boards. 8vo. 118pages. 24cm. First edition. Using modern social theory, David Brenner examines how German-Jewish identity was influenced by the production and consumption of popular culture. Part of the Routledge Jewish Studies Series. David A. Brenner examines how Jews in Central Europe developed one of the first ethnic or minority cultures in modernity. Not exclusively German or Jewish, the experiences of German-speaking Jewry in the decades prior to the Third Reich and the Holocaust were also negotiated in encounters with popular culture, particularly the novel, the drama and mass media. Despite recent scholarship, the misconception persists that Jewish Germans were bent on assimilation. Although subject to compulsion, they did not become solely German, much less European. Yet their behavior and values were by no means exclusively Jewish, as the Nazis or other anti-Semites would have it. Rather, the German Jews achieved a peculiar synthesis between 1890 and 1933, developing a culture that was not only middle-class but also ethnic. In particular, they reinvented Judaic traditions by way of a hybridized culture. Based on research in German, Israeli and American archives, German-Jewish Popular Culture before the Holocaust addresses many of the genres in which a specifically German-Jewish identity was performed, from the Yiddish theatre and Zionist humour all the way to sensationalist memoirs and Kafkas own kitsch. This middle-class ethnic identity encompassed and went beyond religious confession and identity politics. In focusing principally on German-Jewish popular culture, this groundbreaking book introduces the beginnings of ethnicity as we know it and live it today.

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.

Softbound. 8vo. 287 pages. 24cm. Illustrated. First edition. Inscribed by author Helen Mitsios. Photo Album appendix contains black and white photographs and reproductions of documents. Filled with insight and humor, this dual memoir by Rasia, born in Vilnius, Lithuania (who survived the Holocaust on a false identity) , and her daughter Helen, born in Montreal, Canada, examines the long-term implications of being a survivor of the Holocaust and the unique pressures and anxieties the children of survivors inherit from their parents. Rasia, determined to protect Helen from anti-Semitism, continues to pose as a Christian and raises her daughter in the Catholic faith, forbidding her from mentioning her Jewish identity. This compassionate memoir addresses the unspoken tension that complicated a mother-daughter relationship, follows Helen on her journey to embrace Judaism, and is a heart-stopping story of escape and survival from Nazi terror.

ADVOCATE FOR THE DOOMED: THE DIARIES AND PAPERS OF JAMES G. MCDONALD, 1932-1935
Publishers Cloth. 8vo. X, 838 pages. 25cm. Illustrated. First edition. [16] pages of plates. The private diary of James G. McDonald (18861964) offers a unique and hitherto unknown source on the early history of the Nazi regime and the Roosevelt administrations reactions to Nazi persecution of German Jews. Considered for the post of U. S. Ambassador to Germany at the start of FDRs presidency, McDonald traveled to Germany in 1932 and met with Hitler soon after the Nazis came to power. Fearing Nazi intentions to remove or destroy Jews in Germany, in 1933 he became League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and sought aid from the international community to resettle outside the Reich Jews and others persecuted there. In late 1935 he resigned in protest at the lack of support for his work. This is the eagerly awaited first of a projected three-volume work that will significantly revise the ways that scholars and the world view the antecedents of the Holocaust, the Shoah itself, and its aftermath.

Mostowicz, Arnold
BALLADA O SLEPYM MAKSIE
Softbound. 8vo. 181 pages. 25 cm. First edition. In Polish. Arnold Mostowicz was born in 1914, the only son of a middle-class Jewish family. He grew up in Lodz which, before the German invasion, had a population of at least a quarter of a million Jews and was a prominent and prosperous centre. At the age of 19, and because as a Jew I did not have a chance of studying medicine at a Polish university, he travelled to France and enrolled as a medical student. Upon completing his studies he returned to Poland in July 1939, and when, in September, all young men were called to defend Poland against the Nazi invasion, he packed up two shirts, a jar of home-made jam and a volume of poems and walked to Warsaw to join the war. During the siege of Warsaw, Mostowicz worked as a physician in the Child Jesu Hospital where he treated victims of the German air raids. When Warsaw capitulated, Mostowicz returned to Lodz and the ghetto. There he worked in the isolation department of the hospital, and took part in the resistance movement. By the end of the war almost all of the ghetto's inhabitants were gone - either dead from starvation and exhaustion or sent to death camps. Mostowicz himself was deported, in 1944, to Auschwitz, before being moved to the Gross Rosen concentration camp from which he was liberated in May 1945. Most of his family, including his parents, perished at Treblinka and at other camps. For a time after the war Mostowicz ran a hospital but he soon turned his back on medicine and devoted himself to writing. He was editor of the satirical Polish magazine Szpilki, before being ousted in an anti-Semitic Communist purge in 1968. Mostowicz wrote science fiction and books about Lodz, as well as an autobiographical memoir, The Yellow Star (1989) . In 1994, he founded the Monumentum Judaicum Lodzense Association, to maintain the cultural heritage of Lodz's Jews. (The Telegraph, 2/8/2002) Subjects: Jews -- Poland -- Lodz -- Biography.

AN ILLUSTRATED SOURCEBOOK ON THE HOLOCAUST, VOLUME 1
Publishers Cloth. 4to. IX, 155 pages. 31cm. Illustrated. First edition. Volume 1. Illustrated on every page with descriptive captions. Includes indexes and bibliographical references. This collection is an unusual work. Unlike many pictorial and documentary treatments of the Holocaust, it is not a compendium of terrifying photographs of death camp horrors or of secret documents culled from the Nazi archives. Rather, it is a collection of public materials materials seen and read by the man in the street in Germany, throughout occupied Europe, and all over the world; and expressly designed by the Nazi propaganda machine and its non-German collaborators to prepare public opinion to accept Julius Streichers slogan that the Jew must disappear. As demonstrated by the reproductions gathered in this volume, this vile message was transmitted through movies, theatrical productions, exhibitions, wall posters, pamphlets newspapers, magazines, and all other public-information media. Tens of millions of people were exposed to this message day after day, and surely one imagines, they must have known about the fate of the Jews. It is hoped that this volume will serve as a reminder to the civilized world that genocide does not occur overnight. (Dust jacket) Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) --Pictorial works.

THE HOLOCAUST CHRONICLE
Publishers Cloth. 4to. 765 pages. 29 cm. Illustrated. First edition. Contains extensive photographs and maps in both color and black and white. The Holocaust Chronicle, written and fact-checked by top scholars, recounts the long, complex, anguishing story of the most terrible crime of the 20th century. A massive, oversized hardcover of more than 750 pages, The Holocaust Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures is an excitingly unique, not for-profit endeavor that is a personal project of the publisher, Louis Weber, C. E. O. Of Chicago-based Publications International, Ltd. As a book publisher, I am in a unique position to create this ambitious project, Weber says. The son of Polish Jews who settled in America in the 1920s, Weber conceived The Holocaust Chronicle in order to give something back to the Jewish community, and to bring the truth of the Holocaust to as many people as possible. The mission of The Holocaust Chronicle is to report the facts, clearly and free of bias or agenda. Featured are more than 2000 photographs selected after intensive research in the collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D. C. And Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, as well as other archives and private collections located around the world. Many of these images are in full color and most are published in book form for the first time. The photographs chronicle the Holocaust in starkly visual terms, capturing victims and perpetrators alike, as well as Allied leaders and the multitude of peripheral figures. Caption-text is detailed, and rich with facts and human interest. The books 3000-item timeline of Holocaust-related events is unprecedented in its scope and ambition. Spanning the years 1000 B. C. To 1999 A. D. , the timeline pinpoints deportations, atrocities, and important developments in the Nazis Final Solution, as well as individual acts of cruelty, compassion, and heroic Jewish resistance. Illustrated chapter-opener essays place the most important years of the Holocaust and its immediate aftermath, 1933-1946, into sharp perspective. Nearly 300 sidebars detail significant people, places, issues, and events. More than 30 full-color, specially commissioned maps show the reader where events took place. The sentiments and hatreds that gave rise to the Holocaust were not confined to the 12 years of Adolf Hitlers Thousand-Year Reich. The books illustrated prologue surveys the antisemitism that was expressed over many centuries in Europe as bloody pogroms, exclusionary laws, and other persecution. The illustrated epilogue documents the long, painful healing process that has lasted for generations and may never be completed.

AND WE ARE NOT SAVED
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.

A DAY IN THE WARSAW GHETTO: A BIRTHDAY TRIP IN HELL = YOM BE-GETO VARSHAH: TIYUL YOM HULEDET BE-GEHINOM
Original Wrappers. 8vo. [34] pages. 20 x 23 cm. First edition. In English and Hebrew. Booklet for an exhibition of photographs by Heinz Jost, a hotel-keeper serving in the German Army. Contains 38 of the 129 photographs taken by Jost during an unofficial tour through the Warsaw ghetto on his birthday, April 19th, 1941. The poignant photographs are accompanied by passages from personal diaries and accounts of daily life in the ghetto. Jost kept the photographs private until the early 1980s, shortly before his death. They werent published or shown publicly until this exhibition by Yad Vashem and the Smithsonian Institute in 1988. Although Josts intention in documenting the horrors of ghetto life were never made explicit, his sentiments are related in the beginning of the booklet. I had invited some comrades to a birthday supper me [sic] that evening. I dont want to say how I felt during the meal. I lost my appetite. In my letters home I didnt say anything about what Id seen. I didnt want to upset my family. I thought, What sort of world is this? I didnt tell my army comrades anything either. Later on, too, when they burnt down the Ghetto, we didnt pay any attention.
