Om. Rosa Sutzkever was one of the best-known artists of Vilna, and had trained at the Art Academy there (Bogen, 1991) and was part of Yung Vilna. Yung-Vilne (Young Vilna) , was a Yiddish literary group, introduced in the daily Vilner Tog in 1929 with the headline: Young Vilna Marches into Yiddish Literature. It aroused excitement through its miscellanies (Yung-Vilne, 193436) , its contributions to local and international Yiddish journals, and individual books of verse and fiction. Principal members included poets Chaim Grade , Shimshon Kahan, Peretz Miransky, Abraham Sutzkever , Elkhanan Wogler, and Leyzer Wolf , prose writers Shmerke Kaczerginski and Moyshe Levin, and artists Bentsie Mikhtom and Rokhl Sutzkever. Dozens more were associated with the group, whose members were united by generation, place, a shared humanistic orientation, and the encouragement of local intellectuals like Zalman Rejzen and Max Weinreich . A Yung-Vilne evening in the Vilna ghetto, the participation of several members in the partisan underground, and the accomplishments of Grade and Sutzkever as leading postwar Yiddish writers assure that Yung-Vilne will be remembered as one of the great incubators of Jewish creativity in interwar Poland (Lipzin & Cammy, 2007) . OCLC lists 11 copies worldwide (NYBC, HUC, McGill, TAU) . Title penned on spine, paper toning, touch of wear to corner, about Very Good Condition. Rare, important, and attractive (Yid-29-35)

DOS NAYE LEBN. VOL I, NRS 1-12, 1908-1909 [COMPLETE FIRST VOLUME, 12 ISSUES TOTAL]

19081st edition. Original binding with leather spine and gold gilt lettering. 8vo. 745 pages, 23 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates to The New Life. A complete 1st year of this important Yiddish monthly. Zhitlowsky, an immigrant socialist revolutionary, sought to synthesize socialism with nationalism as early as 1883. He demanded for Jews "national equal rights with all peoples" and asserted that only through the Yiddish language could the social and national revival of the Jewish people be effected. He maintained that one could remain identified with the Jewish nationality even if abandoning the Jewish religion. He urged the Jewish masses to participate in the class struggle as a national unit. Alone among the cosmopolitan Jewish socialists he favored national socialism. In 1897 he began publishing philosophical studies in Jewish history and a comprehensive program of action which later appeared in book form as Pisma o starom I novom yevreystvie ("Letters on Old and Modern Judaism, " 1907) . His main thesis was that national consciousness consists mainly of spiritual-cultural determinants and that these national characteristics can be maintained by the Jews in the future in the lands of their dispersion, just as they have survived the lack of territory or unity of language since the end of the second commonwealth. After emancipation of the individual the Jews as a group should be granted national self-government within the framework of the state along with other national minorities. His secularization of the national idea as opposed to those who saw the essence of Judaism in religion, and his optimistic view of the future of Judaism in the Diaspora, were the main underpinnings of his insistence on national cultural autonomy. Zhitlowsky was "in favor of the centrality of Yiddish in the national Jewish experience and labored toward the recognition of that language, and of those who lived out their lives in it, as one of the several cultural linguistic communities of Eastern Europe, and of the Western world as a whole" (Isaac Levitas, et al, in EJ) .Includes volume title pages and Zhitlowskys 16 page prologue (usually missing) entitled This program and the dissemination of the monograph 'The New Life.'

Simonov, KonstantinMareMagnum

LUBLINER FARNIKHTUNGS=LAGER MAYDANEK

19441st Yiddish edition. Original illustrated paper wrappers. 12mo. 95 pages, 14 cm. In Yiddish with some Russian. Title translates to Lublin Extermination-Camp Majdanek. Soviet war correspondent and poet Konstantin Simonovs booklet on the atrocities of the Majdanek camp, published simultaneously in several languages, was only the second monograph published on the atrocities at Majdanek. Simonov (1915-1979) was a highly decorated poet, novelist, playright, and war correspondent whose works were widely known (Wikipedia, 2018) . A Polish-Soviet Special Criminal Court was established in Lublin in August 1944 in order to investigate the Nazi crimes in the Majdanek extermination camp, with Simonov covering the proceedings as the basis for this work. The Majdanek concentration camp was established on Heinrich Himmler's order and operated from October 1, 1941 until it was liberated by the Soviet Army on July 22, 1944. It is known to be the best preserved Nazi concentration camp of the Holocaust, as the Germans did not have enough time to destroy the evidences of their crimes. The Commission for investigating the German crimes was established in August 1944 and soon they published this booklet in several languages. Despite of the importance of this statement it must be mentioned that the Commission made many erroneous assumptions regarding the duration of the camp or number of people killed at Majdanek, probably because they were motivated rather by political and propaganda agenda than by a search for historical facts. The total number of the victims is still controversial, in this report 1.5 million victims of different nationalities were counted, however according to the latest researches there were 79, 000 victims, 59, 000 of whom were Jews. [Kranz, T. : Bookkeeping of Death and Prisoner Mortality at Majdanek. Pp. 81-110. In: Silberklang, D. (ed. ) : Yad Vashem Studies. Vol. 35: 1. Jerusalem, 2007.]. SUBJECTS: World War, 1939-1945 -- Atrocities. World War, 1939-1945 (OCLC: 145083668) . Light wear to wrappers and pages browning. Otherwise very good condition. (HOLO2-142-4-ALR)
