1947réf. 0008116Jerusalem Israel British Mandated Palestine. Good. 1947. On offer is a unique historically significant journal handwritten during the final days of British Mandated Palestine most entries made immediately prior to the Declaration of Independence. This is a one-year page a day journal for the Jewish year of 5708 September 1947 to October 1948 has about 50 entries with most entries made between September 1947 and December 1947 and few brief records scattered over the next few months - the last one is dated June 7. It measures 7' by 5' the hardcover is slightly soiled but otherwise the journal is in very good condition. The text is in Hebrew the handwriting is mostly legible. Author's name is not identified but there is a note on the front page: "Vaad Hakehilla. Hanala Klalit" Local Community Council. General Management. It is clear from this note and from the context that the journal was kept by a member of the Hebrew Community Council in Jerusalem the body that was established in 1917 and coordinated and represented different groups of Jerusalem Jews during the British Mandate. Vaad Hakehila was responsible for different aspects of Jewish life in the city including economic and social assistance to the residents. It had a social services department and a society of assistance to kindergartens issues related to them are mentioned in the journal several times. Most entries are the minutes of the Council meetings. Some entries deal with organizational and financial matters taxes elections complaints dispute settlement work of social services purchase of fire engines but most meetings reflect increasingly tense situation in the city and concern food and fuel supply food rationing security and organizing Mishmar ha'am National Guard - unit of volunteers established in September 1947 in Jerusalem for maintenance of public order. The Council was constantly in contact with the state authorities political and religious leaders various Jewish organizations trying to solve various problems facing Jewish community in the city. Among the names mentioned in the journal are Yitzhak Ben-Zvi David-Zvi Pinkas a Zionist activist politician a signatory of the Declaration of independence and a future minister Mordechai Shatner a signatory of the Declaration activist and politician one of the founders of Yad Va-Shem who then was a member of the Jewish National Council Ben-Zion Meir Hai Uziel the Sephardi chief rabbi of Mandatory Palestine who appeared before the Mandatory government as representatives of the Jewish community and on missions on its behalf Itzhak HaLevi Herzog the first Chief Rabbi of Ireland and then the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Mandatory Palestine and of Israel Menashe Elassar a noted Jerusalem businessman and many other. The first entry is dated September 15 and mentions a meeting with Mr. Ben-Zvi who had been the President and a member of the Vaad Haleumi the National Council a post in which he served as the chief representative of the Jewish community vis-a-vis the mandatory authorities. His name is mentioned several times throughout the journal in relation to various matters. A council meeting on September 17 dealt with several issues including social work and house confiscation order of the Babayoff family: "Military Commander refused a request to postpone confiscation order for the Babayoff's House till after the holidays . Chief Rabbi Uziel was asked to speak with the commissioner about postponement of the confiscation order. Rabbi Herzog was also asked to speak with the Military Commander regarding the same matter". Many entries mention searches conducted by the British Army in Jewish neighbourhoods one of such searches on Yom Kippur Eve finished with desecration of a synagogue: "Search in Nachlat Zvi Jerusalem neighbourhood. After we received information regarding the desecration of the synagogue by the army during their search R' Nattan and I went to check if the information was correct. We reached the location after the search had finished and the army left the place. All the synagogue benches the tables chairs and pillows were upside down. All of the study books Mishnayot Zohar Gemaras were scattered on the floor. The holy ark was open and the Torah scrolls were open ." Some of the entries refer to property damage caused by bombings that the council members were assessing: "After the two nights that passed in Jerusalem Shabbat night and Motzei Shabbat when tens of thousands of bullets were shot towards the all the Jewish areas of the city I got up early . to visit the places that were the primary targets of the bullets of the police and soldiers. The primary target was again the homes near the police dormitory in the hospital of the English Mission. The view of the horrifying sight of the destruction caused to these homes and the miracle that nobody's life was taken . testimonies were collected from dozens of people."Nov. 16. One of the constant subjects was ensuring food and fuel supply in the city: "Meeting of the supply committee with bakery owners to ensure sufficient flour supply in case of emergency" ".To bring all wholesalers and demand from them to increase supplies in Jerusalem." they meet with members of the Jewish National Council JNC and devote many meetings to this matter. As part of their activity they meet with mukhtars heads of Arabic neighbourhoods. Va'ad had limited means to cope with the worsening situation and in December the Jerusalem Emergency Committee was set up that took upon itself civil administration of Jewish Jerusalem which explains why there are almost no entries after November. Though it includes only about 50 entries of varying length the journal provides a lot of details from the months preceding the Declaration of Independence and contains names of many people who played an important role in creation of the Israeli State. Overall it's a fascinating document of the life of Jewish community in Jerusalem during the last months of the British Mandate and activity of the Jewish Community Council in Jerusalem.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY 1940s POST-WW2 ERA MIDDLE EAST ISRAEL JERUSALEM JEWISH QUARTER CREATION OF ISRAEL JEWS OF JERUSALEM BRITISH MANDATE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE MANDATORY PALESTINE BATTLE OF JERUSALEM 1947 BOMBINGS IN JERUSALEM JEWISH SELF-GOVERNING BODIES IN MANDATORY PALESTINE MISHMAR HA'AM NATIONAL GUARD IN JERUSALEM LOCAL COMMUNITY COUNCIL IN JERUSALEM VA'AD HAKEHILA VAAD HAKEHILA JERUSALEM LOCAL AUTHORITIES LEADERS OF JEWISH COMMUNITY OLD CITY PARTITION BRITISH ARMY IN MANDATORY PALESTINE SOCIAL SERVICES DURING THE BRITISH MANDATE ISRAEL BEFORE INDEPENDENCE SELF-GOVERNMENT OF JEWS IN JERUSALEM JEWISH COOPERATION WITH BRITISH ADMINISTRATION IN PALESTINE YITZHAK BEN-ZVI DAVID-ZVI PINKAS MORDECHAI SHATNER END OF THE BRITISH MANDATE FOOD RATIONING IN JERUSALEM FOOD SUPPLY TO JERUSALEM ZIONISM ZIONIST ACTIVISTS JEWISH NATIONAL COUNCIL JNC VAAD HALEUMI 1947 JERUSALEM RIOTS JERUSALEM RELIGIOUS LEADERS HEBRAICA JEWISH HISTORY HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

1912réf. ST20811Paris: Eugène Figuière et Cie 1912. FIRST EDITION. PRESENTATION COPY. 240 x 185 mm. 9 1/2 x 7 1/2". 44 pp. 2 leaves. STRIKING 3-D OPTICAL ILLUSION BINDING BY A. CONTRERAS stamp-signed on front turn-in WITH AN ALL-OVER DESIGN OF CUBES rendered in black white and silver morocco smooth spine. In older probably original brown woodgrain drop-back box backed with black buckram. With 26 black & white photographic reproductions of works by Cézanne Picasso Derain Braque Metzinger Laurencin Gleizes Léger Duchamp Picabia and original owner Juan Gris printed on glossy white paper. WITH A HALF TITLE INSCRIPTION in French OF GREAT IMPORTANCE FROM ONE OF THE CO-AUTHORS translated as: "To the painter Juan Gris with all my best wishes J Metzinger." Occasional underlinings in blue pencil. Text leaves with overall light browning and occasional foxing due to paper stock lower corner of half title restored and fore edge with minor chipping otherwise a fine copy the plates clean and bright and the binding unworn. Penned by two Cubist artists this is a highly resonant association copy of the first major treatise on the Cubism movement presented to noted Cubist painter Juan Gris and later put into an illusionistic binding composed of variably colored cubes that seem to jump off the surface. Albert Gleizes 1881-1953 and Jean Metzinger 1883-1956 had painted in both Post-Impressionist and Fauvist styles before their interest in exploring form and structure as well as light and color led them to the style that would become Cubism. Influenced by Cézanne's "brick-by-brick" technique and Poincaré's writings on space and time the new movement sought to examine objects from a mobile perspective and to depict multiple views of a subject in one painting. In "On Cubism" they explain: "An object has not one absolute form; it has many. It has as many as there are planes in the region of perception." The work features black & white illustrations of Cubist paintings by the authors and by fellow pioneers Picasso Braque Derain and Juan Gris to whom this copy was presented by Metzinger. Born in Madrid as José Victoriano González-Pérez 1887-1927 Gris studied engineering before moving to Paris to pursue art. First working as an illustrator for periodicals he was inspired by Metzinger to begin painting seriously. His training in engineering helped him appreciate the importance of mathematics in painting a realization triggered according to art historian John Richardson by Metzinger's painting "Le Goûter Tea Time" exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in 1911. Our volume was later in the collection of and probably bound for Chilean architect and collector Carlos Alberto Cruz 1939-2022. We have been unable to find more information on our binder "A. Contreras" but it seems possible that he was also Chilean as the Valparaiso-based Cruz owned a number of bindings signed with that name. Eugène Figuière et Cie unknown
1969réf. Cat340United States and England 1969. 453 letters with twenty pieces of other material. Of the letters to WBAI: Fourteen letters from 1968; 245 from January 1969; sixty-four from February 1969; five from March and April 1969; eighty-six undated. With thirty-nine sent to the FCC these are copies sent to WBAI. Conditions vary; generally very good. Julius Lester 1939-2018 was a Black academic author civil rights activist photographer and musician. He taught at the New School for several years and then at UMass Amherst from 1971 until his retirement. In his highly decorated career he authored over forty books including a guide to the twelve-string guitar written with Pete Seeger; released several folk-blues albums; exhibited photographs including at the Smithsonian Institution; and won numerous teaching awards.1 From 1968 to 1975 Lester hosted Uncle Tom's Cabin on WBAI an independent New York City radio station. Early in the show's tenure during the 1968 teachers' strike over the firing of a number of mostly Jewish teachers from the majority Black Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district Lester's show aired a poem written by a young Black student at an unidentified New York City high school. The poem was dedicated to the striking United Federation of Teachers' president Albert Shanker and opens: "Hew jew boy with that yamaka on your head / You pale faced jew boy / I wish you were dead / I can see you jew boy /naw you cant hide / I got a scoop on you yeah / you gonna die." Lester-who incidentally converted to Judaism in 1982-defended the poem and its airing provoking backlash from listeners and from the Anti-Defamation League which called for his resignation and picketed the station. Offered here is a large archive of listener mail responding to this broadcast and to the later broadcast of a letter from a Black Queens College graduate. This letter also concerned anti-Semitism in the Black community albeit with a much different tone than the student poem: the writer explains that "until quite recently" they had felt significant anti-Jewish sentiment because having grown up in a Jewish neighborhood they used to conceive of all white people as Jewish-and that listening to WBAI "was very instrumental not only in helping me to recognize my anti-Semitism but in tracing its roots". The original copy of this letter is contained in the archive; as a manuscript note on it remarks it "started a second wave of complaint and precipitated the complaint from Shanker to the FCC". The letter was broadcast on Larry Josephson's In the Beginning and much of the mail is addressed to him. A tally on a filing folder totals the "hate" letters at 728 and "love" letters at 341; however in this collection the response is mostly positive. Moreover within the positive response to the broadcasts are only a handful of openly anti-Semitic ones "Good luck in your fight against the Jewish financial interests of New York City". Nonetheless the "hate" contingent is well-represented: besides threats "Don't walk alone cock-sucker and don't take this lightly - we have pledged to get you and we mean it!"; "'He who lives by the sword will die by the sword.' And you will get yours you may be sure" a number of writers sent in poems of their own usually riffs on the original poem and generally containing abundant racial slurs and stereotypes about crime welfare and police brutality. Occasionally a rationale is offered: the station had defended its broadcasts on the basis of free speech and therefore should air these poems as well. In fact the better part of the supportive letters including ones from listeners who vehemently disagreed with the broadcast content also cite the importance of free speech as a reason for their continued support; for instance Adele Lawrence writes: "I am a subscriber and a Jew. Negro anti-semitism has upset me too. But I support the station's policy 100%. Lets hear what black people are saying. Lets search our souls to find out why. And lets do something about it - instead of all this self-righteous over-reaction." Like Lawrence most listeners felt the need to include some demographic information about themselves. It seems that the broadcasts had prompted listeners to introspect on their own identities and to write in with their experiences often in surprisingly thoughtful ways. A number had fled Nazi Germany such as Liz Frankel who writes: "Who am I to talk I came out of Germany in 1939 at the age of 17. My father was in a concentration camp but was miraculously released. His health was broken though and he died in this country in 1945. I personally have severe psychological scars left from my experiences in Germany that is one reason why I can understand the black man's terrible life in this country. Why other refugees from Nazi Germany cannot is beyond me." Kurt Obernbreit describes his reaction to the broadcasts and how his views changed: "On January 17 I wrote you a letter regarding the now famous Julius Lester/Leslie Campbell program in which I voiced a negative reaction. I did not hear the program but got all my information from the press at that time. Meanwhile you had the courtesy of sending me a copy of your report I heard you on the Barry Gray show and some more material appeared in the press including the Village Voice. I have now a much clearer picture of what actually occured sic and I must compliment you on the clarity of your report. I admit I reacted emotionally and I admit that I am very sensitive maybe overly sensitive to expressions of Anti-Semitism as I am myself a graduate of the real Mc Coy namely the Hitlerian variety which I experienced personally. . I want to withdraw my criticism." One affecting ambivalent letter from an Orthodox Jewish college student reflects on the poem and letter and on her and Josephson's Jewish identity. She writes in part: "You talk about being Jewish but you must realize that my whole life is Jewish and I happen to think that its great and I am very proud of that. I think its because I feel like this that I can understand how a person of any race or ethnic group feels and thats why I respect him. Since I did grow up in this community and went to the schools that I did go to unfortunately for myself I did not come in contact with any black people or even people from any other religious groups. . I can't see anything wrong with the poem and I still don't after all you've got the right to read anything over the air that you want. . my father said to me 'did you hear about the poem that they read over that homo-sexual station that you listen to' . well with my father I'm sometimes able to reason so I said 'so what' . Now thats crazy if we're going to start punishing people for saying what they want then we might as well start having a secret police if we don't already and the whole thing. . Larry I couldn't write an anti-black poem if I wanted to or an anti any other group of people because they've never done anything to me. . I know the reading of the poem over the air can do no harm but further free speech which we need alot more of. But I am really afraid that it did something to me when you were talking this morning I felt you were directing your anger at me as a Jew and I kept on asking why . Unlike the black girl who wrote you who seemed to have found her answer all I have are thousands of questions." Another writer Esther Aronson discusses her historical experiences of Black-Jewish relations in the city: "In the early 1930s my family lived in the Bronx. The scene was in the early depths of the depression. No one that I knew had as much as a spare dime. But there were enough families in this Bronx Jewish ghetto who could afford a day worker. The WASP communities were using white maids . the Jewish people for many obvious reasons used the negroes. And I must say in passing that it is probable that the Jews were the only people as a group who did hire negroes. . And the slave mart shaped up each Friday morning on certain corners in the community. The Jewish women came to the slave block to haggle about the price to test the strength select for whatever characteristic the most desirable their particular day worker. By 8 or 9 A.M. the scene broke up. The Jewish women taking home their particular catch and the unhired negroes returning to Harlem minus 10¢ carfare. I don't mean to imply that the Jewish women alone made the scene. The negro women came willingly to the slave block. These were the only people that would hire them. But then the most sordid bit of this scene developed. Even though I'm sure it wasn't universally true it was true enough to have reached my ears. . 1. Move the clock back so that an extra hour or two could be gleaned from the negro. 2. Cut the wage at the end of the day. 3. Pay part of the wage in old clothes. 4. Humiliate the negro by talking deprecatingly about the lazy stinking schwarter in broken English as if the negro was not there and listening etc. etc. . So the Jewish community has become the first area of vengeance. They were and are most intimately visible. But the police force was equally visible and much more violent and deadly in the negro experience. . So I imagine what may be operating is a transfer of latent all American WASP anti-semitism into the issue." A number write in with their own experiences of ethnic prejudice. The writers are sometimes Jewish: "my son who as a kid in the heart of Manhattan was beaten up by other white kids only because he admitted that he attended afternoon classes in Hebrew school. I was screamed at and insulted in the very same area when I was seen putting posters of the American Jewish Congress in store windows" and sometimes not like Gerhard Weber a German immigrant who "couldn't get away from that epithet 'nazi'"; and Shirly Niebanck whose "son goes to public school and has been in this WASP minority constantly . he is being punished because he's Gentile." Many writers discuss WASP-hood; interestingly there is a noticeable split between writers who identify Jewish people including themselves as distinct from white people versus as "white and Jewish." Several letters also came in from NYC teachers who were in some way invested in the strike. Harriet Haberstroh writes in support: "I . taught in P.S. 144 in Ocean Hill last school year. The strong anti-black sentiment was detectable among some of the Jewish teachers. As a former U.F.T. member I cannot back Al Shanker in his claims of anti-semitism and favoritism of the black side. The UFT was given time." Rita Mandelman writes with a more equivocal tone: "I am a subscriber: white Jewish middle class and a teacher a deadly combination. I voted for and supported the first 2 strikes. I voted against but reluctantly supported the third strike. I have written to you before criticizing WBAI's heavily one-sided coverage of the strike and its repercussions. . WBAI will not be living up to my ideal of 'free speech radio' until I start hearing some genuine discussion of the issues--some confrontations of opposing viewpoints. . You say that you have afforded the teacher's Union many invitations that have not been accepted. I find this difficult to believe but I must accept your word on it. I have written Mr. Shanker to ask why. You are in error when you say that the Union has opposed the experiment in Ocean Hill from the beginning. The U.F.T. was instrumental in setting up the district. Only when things started running badly and Union people were critical of some of the leadership or lack of it did the hostilities erupt. You say the Union's position has been 'extensively reported' in the media implying that this relieves you of the responsibility of airing these views. Certainly the Ocean Hill position has been as extensively reported and supported in the press so something is faulty in your logic. The only place the Union's position is supported is in its own Newspaper and very often highly critical letters are printed there. There is no lack of opposition to Mr. Shanker within the Union as you have so often implied. It is as close to being a democratically run large organization as any I have ever seen." One writer "Eva" a former nurse reflects on her Jewish identity and the parallels between the teachers' strike and the 1959 hospital workers' strike: "Black people hate the Jews because of the Jewish Teachers Union or better because of Shanker who symbolizes it. Nobody loves the Jews because of Local '1199' and its Jewish president Leon Davis. This man 'has laid down his life on the line' to use your words to upgrade the Black and Puerto Rican workers of the hospitals. . I was one of the few white hospital rank and filers who 'laid down her life' to help Black Hospital workers out of their misery. For the last 9 years I have considered this to be the main purpose of my living. For the last 9 years my bosses conducted an extermination campaign against me for my anger hatred of them and my fanatical activity. As a result not only am I out of my job but confined to my bed with an incurable illness. While being in the very same hospital as a patient recently I was treated with bitter hatred by one of the nurses for absolutely no reason at all. The only reason was that she is Black and I am Jewish and I was much too ill to defend myself. . When my son was 9 years old he was beaten up and thrown into the snow by white Americans because he is a Jew. I was cursed and insulted by white Americans because of the same reason. . Well the American Nazi party must be delighted about the way things are turning out in the Black community. . Also all the Nazis in Germany and Austria are jubilant about the way things are developing in this country. My mother was murdered by a German Nazi I and my son will be murdered by an American Negro! Wonderful!" Overall the archive is dense with personal stories and reflections about identity-Jewish and otherwise-in New York City and the contentious relationship between the city's Black and Jewish populations. Of interest to scholars of the city's ethnic tensions at the time the 1960s counterculture and especially the social construction of race. Provenance: From the estate of Rabbi A.

This book is itself the first blow in the gigantic war for the liberation of Europe. The prime enemy is the traitor within Europe who alone makes possible the starving and looting of Europe by the outer forces. He is the symbol of Chaos and Death.

1939réf. 222j2678London: Longman's Green and Co. Good with no dust jacket. 1939. First Edition. Hardcover. "This is a very long book but it has to be long. Since the real history of Palestine for two decades has been kept hidden from the public it is in a sense necessary here to recreate those lost twenty years in as much of their detail as possible. Half the facts I have to give have never been mentioned at all many of the documents have never been quoted. There was no Palestine Question nor ever would have been one if certain statesmen had not created it. The book deals primarily with the story of how Palestine was placed under Mandatory government in order to establish the 'Jewish National Home' which later - it was intended - should become a Jewish State. Under no circumstances can it be sustained that because of the prophecies of the Old Testament the Jews have a permit to return to Palestine arbitrarily and wrongfully. To do so would provide an example never before seen of Scripture being quoted for the devil's purpose." - Introduction. J. M. N. Jeffries 18801960 was a British war correspondent historian and author. Between 1914 and 1933 he wrote for the Daily Mail serving as a war correspondent as head of the Paris bureau during World War I.

1938réf. 426j1629Asheville North Carolina: Pelley Publishers. Very Good. 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. "Elmhurst has assembled and produced the data in a readable story which shows irrefutably that Communism is not merely a crackpot program for undermining the Christian governments of the world with unworkable socialistic theories carried into practice. The young man has scoured up the data in enthralling biographical form attesting that communism is world Jewry in action! I pride myself that I know something about Jews and Communism. In 1918 I found myself in Siberian Russia. I traveled 700 versts in that stricken country while Communism was 'coming in'. After coming home from Russia I spent five years in the fleshpots of Hollywood making moving pictures shoulder to shoulder with Jews. I served a stiff apprenticeship in Jewish psychology and temperament. I read the complete manuscript of this book in one evening - at one sitting - because it held my interest convincingly unflaggingly till the last page had been reached. The author and his co-helper Miss Theresa Holm scoured the libraries of the world and compiled therefrom the devasting sic data out of the mouths of the Sons of Jacob themselves. Good Christians seem to forget that Christ was the world's outstanding Jew-Baiter and that the sons of Jacob slew him for His Naziism!" - Introduction.

"Outlines the legal and political history of the Jewish National Fund since its founding including its activities in the territories Israel has occupied since 1967. The Fund was establshed in 1901 as one of the instruments of the World Zionist Organization in implementing its objective - the establishment in Palestine of a Jewish state. The role of the Fund in this enterprise was the acquisition and development of territory for Jewish colonization. The Fund has been virtually ignored in the voluminous literature on the conflict over Palestine. Of the few book-length studies available all are the Fund's own productions. To date this is the only detailed study of the Fund by independent researchers." - dust jacket.

1978réf. 426j3027USA: The Institute for Historical Review I.H.R. Very Good No dust jacket as issued. First English Edition. Paperback. "Although his health was broken in Hitler's concentration camps Paul Rassinier 1906-1967 French socialist pacifist and highly decorated member of the resistance would not bear false witness against his captors by exaggerating their crimes. Neither could Rassinier keep silent about the lies of fellow survivors who fabricated gas chambers and other atrocity stories in the fevered postwar atmosphere. His devotion to the truth even about his former enemies led him to undertake the first systematic study of the alleged Nazi 'Holocaust' from a skeptical standpoint. His training as a historian and his experience in the camps enabled Rassinier to formulate a devastating critique of concentration camp 'eyewitnesses' and 'Holocaust' historians alike. The half-dozen books which Rassinier completed before his untimely death in 1967 have earned him the title of 'Father of Holocaust Revisionism'. This book combines the major portions of his most important writings on the camps and the 'Holocaust.' Here is the unvarnished account of the author's time at Buchenwald and Dora his searching analysis of the most important literature on the concentration camps and his debunking of the most systematic presentation of the Exterminationist case ever made Raul Hilberg's Destruction of the European Jews." - back cover. "The only authorized edition available in the English language." - Publisher's Note. "In a 1964 article entitled 'Zionist Fraud' in The American Mercury American historian Harry Elmer Barnes wrote 'The courageous author Rassinier lays the chief blame for misrepresentation on those whom we must call the swindlers of the crematoria the Israeli politicians who derive billions of marks from nonexistent mythical and imaginary cadavers whose numbers have been reckoned in an unusually distorted and dishonest manner." - Wikipedia.
