‎Original stiff paper wrappers. 8vo, 48 pages. Interesting "ambiguous" defense of Nazi Germany from just prior to US entry into WWII. The author discusses the history of Germany, the Nazi party, and other groups with similar ideas, with a special examination of Nazi philosophy, all from an explicitly Christian perspective, with many references to Jesus Christ. While not supportive of Nazism, the book is also not very critical either. "We cannot condone the crimes of the Nazi regime. Yet, we can have forgivness in our hearts for those who have committed them even as we have for the Inquisitors of the Medieval Church who in their zeal for God's kingdom subjected literally millions to torture and death in the name of a religion born of love and mercy.

‎OFFICIAL PROGRAM. FIRST ANNUAL WORLD LABOR ATHLETIC CARNIVAL SANCTIONED BY METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION, A.A.U. - SAT. AUG 15, SUN AUG. 16 - RANDALL'S ISLAND MUNICIPAL STADIUM.‎

‎1st edition. Original illustrated wrappers, 4to (large) , 34 pages. Loaded with illustrations. Event program. Striking cover illustration and one text illustration by Mitchell Loeb. Includes illustrations in text (halftones) and a section of ads. The World Labor Athletic Carnival was organized to directly oppose U. S. Athletes' participation in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, which were viewd as providing both legitimacy and a prime propaganda opportunity to Hitler's Nazi government. Put together in 1936 by a coalition of New York left-wing political organizations and labor unions including the heavily Jewish International Ladies' Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) , the Socialist and Communist Parties, the Jewish Labor Committee, and others, the Carnival took place over two days, coinciding with the two final days of the Berlin Games, and involved an array of high-profile American, Canadian, and a few international competitors including high-jumper Walter Marty, sprinters Eulace Peacock and Perrin Walker, and pole vaulter George Varoff. In the end, the Carnival proved something of a disappointment from both an attendance and an athletic perspective. Aside from Varoff's world-record setting performance in the pole vault, "... The New York Herald Tribune described the athletic performances as 'mediocre' and noted that the spectators were unenthusiastic'" (for a detailed account of the event, see Edward S. Shapiro, "The World Labor Athletic Carnival of 1936: an American Anti-Nazi Protest, " in American Jewish History v.74, no.3 (Mar 1985) , pp.255-273) . No copies anywhere in OCLC.

‎Moses, Siegfried‎

‎DIE JÜDISCHEN NACHKRIEGS-FORDERUNGEN [FIRST DEMAND FOR NAZI REPARATIONS TO THE JEWS]‎

‎1st edition. Original paper wrappers, tall 12mo, 69 pages. 22 cm. In German. The first separate publication of a demand for Nazi reparations to the Jews. In July 1943, long before the war ended, Siegfried Moses coined the term “reparations” in relation to claims of Jewish citizens against the German state. He published an article on the restitution demands of Jews in the bulletin of the "Irgun Olej Merkaz Europa", Tel Aviv; they publish here those proposals as a separate work. For the first time, Moses proposed that a State can commit an injustice, for which it must then compensate the civilian population which suffered under that injustice. This legal opinion was later the basis for reparations by the Federal Republic of Germany. Siegfried Moses (1887-1974) was a German-Israeli lawyer and the first state comptroller Israel. After the Nazi seizure of power, he helped German Jews transfer assets to Palestine. From 1933 on he was also chairman of the Zionist Federation of Germany (ZVfD) and Vice President of the Reich Association of German Jews. In 1937 Moses himself fled to Palestine; then in 1941 he wrote (together with fellow German emigre Walter Schwarz) the text of the 1941 Palestinian Income Tax Act. In 1947 Moses was a member of the delegation of the Jewish Agency at the United Nations and in 1949, he became the first state comptroller Israel (Chief of Court) . In 1956-1957, he was also President of the "Council of Jews from Germany", the official association of Israelis of German origin. In 1955 he co-founded the Leo Baeck Institute, serving as its director, and was on the advisory board of the United Restitution Organization in Israel (Wikipedia, 2015) . SUBJECT(S) : Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -- Reparations. World War, 1939-1945 -- Claims. Jews -- Europe.

Poland will guarantee all her citizens – including the Jews – full legal equality. This Poland will be a true democracy and every one of her citizens will enjoy equal rights irrespective of race, creed or origin. ' Emphasizing that the Jewish underground movement in Poland today is part of the great Polish underground army waging the struggle for the common cause of liberation, Mr. Stanczyk declared that the present war 'has wiped out the institutions and destroyed the power of groups which had striven to foment hatred among the people of Poland' and that their common fate has created a strong bond between Gentile and Jew. ” - JTA, 'Post-war Poland Will Guarantee Equality to Jews, Stanczyk Pledges', December 11, 1941.

‎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.

Printed in Tel Aviv for the use of Holocaust survivors in the American DP camps in Germany. During the Holocaust, as European Jewry was pushed to the brink of annihilation by Nazi Germany, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee was the main financial benefactor towards Jewish emigration from Europe and rescue attempts of Jews from Nazi-controlled territories. From the outbreak of World War II through 1944, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee made it possible for more than 81,000 Jews to emigrate out of Nazi-occupied Europe to safety. JDC also smuggled aid to Jewish prisoners in labor camps and helped finance the Polish Jewish underground in preparations for the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto revolt. In addition, JDC was a major channel keeping American Jewish leaders informed—often in detail—about the holocaust. Yudlov 4109; Yaari 2370 or 2371; Berman (LOC) no. 1112.

‎MISHPAT AIKHMAN : DEVARIM SHE-ROIM MI-KAN LO ROIM MI-SHAM. HANNAH ARENDT AND HAIM GOURI: TWO PERCEPTIONS OF THE EICHMANN TRIAL.‎

‎1st edition, original paper wrappers. 8vo, iv (English) + 27 (Hebrew) pages. In Hebrew with additional English abstract and title page. “The Eichmann trial was one of the most important events in pre-1967 Israel. The article attempts to compare the reactions of two witnesses to the trial, Hannah Arendt and Haim Gouri, to the proceedings. These writers represent two conflicting perspectives- a Jewish-universalist one on the one hand, and a Jewish-Israeli one on the other….Interestingly, the insight of both Arendt and Gouri played a role in subverting the prevalent attitudes toward the memory of the Holocaust in Israeli society. While Arendt’s assertions became a basis of a tendency to universalize the Holocaust, removing it from a specific Jewish context, Gouri’s observations led to a strong identification with Diaspora Jewry. The Eichmann trial and the new perceptions in its wake marked the beginning of the decline of the concept of ‘Negation of the Diaspora’ and the acceptance of the Holocaust as a major identity-forming factor in Israeli society.” (from abstract) SUBJECT(S): War crime trials -- Jerusalem.
