1962(FT) Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 54 pages. 24 cm. First edition. In Yiddish. Title page in English: The life and writings of Dr. Philip Friedman: short bio-bibliographical survey. This memorial work outlines the biography and writings of the holocaust survivor and historian Dr. Phillip Friedman. From the Yivo Major Collections description of his work: Historian Philip Friedman collected documentation on the Holocaust and wrote extensively on the subject. He served as the first director of the Central Jewish Historical Commission in Poland in the post-war period, as consultant to the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, and as director of the YIVO-Yad Vashem bibliographical series on the Holocaust. His papers include eyewitness accounts collected from Holocaust survivors by the Central Jewish Historical Commission in Poland. From a New York Times Article (Holocaust Historian written by Lucy S. Dawidowicz; January 11, 1981) : In July 1944 Philip Friedman was one of a mere thousand survivors of the 150, 000 Jews of his native Lvov. Before the war he had already become known as a historian of Polish Jewry, but thenceforth, until his death in New York at 59 in 1960, he dedicated himself to the history of the Jews in that crucible of death which we now call the holocaust. [ ] Philip Friedman has rightfully been called the father of holocaust history. Except for Emanuel Ringelblum, who did not survive the war, Friedman was the first to organize the collecting of records about Jewish life and death under German wartime occupation. Friedman stimulated survivors to write memoirs and urged them to gather letters, photographs, relics and any remains that would serve future historians. Subjects: Friedman, Philip, 1901-1960.

1999Publishers cloth. 8vo. XIV, 218 pages. 24 cm. Publishers description: On September 27, 1939, less than four weeks after the Nazi invasion, Poland ceased to exist as a nation. Only three weeks had passed since ten-year-old Hanna Davidson had said goodbye to her father, Simon, and older brother, Kazik, who had been drafted and sent to defend Warsaw. Now she believed she would never see them again. Hanna and her mother, Sophia, an artist and intellectual, found themselves subjected to Hitlers efforts to dehumanize Polands Jewish population. There seemed no choice but to cling to what shreds of stability they could by submitting to a ruthless tyranny. But when they got word that Simon and Kazik were alive in Bialystok in the Soviet-occupied zone of Poland, Hanna and her mother made a fearful decisionthey would risk a harrowing escape from Nazi Poland into relatively safer Soviet territory. After a few hasty good-byes to family and with only the clothes on their backs, they left their apartmentjust one hour before soldiers would come for Sophia. If the two-percent chance of surviving the crossing were not daunting enough, then the Davidsons prospects in the Soviet Union should have been. For Simon Davidsons past as a prominent businessman (and capitalist) and political activism in the socialist Bund (an organization banned by the communists) branded him as undesirable. Moreover, he had been born in Russiaescaping years before by fooling Soviet authorities into presuming him deadand his presence could place those members of his family who remained behind in danger. So for the sake of their very livesand those of relatives they could never publicly acknowledgethe Davidsons would be compelled to invent and memorize not only their own new identities but also an extended family history. Moreover, avoiding persecution by the Soviet regime would entail struggling virtually every day to maintain a pretense of allegiance to Stalin. As recounted by Hanna, the Davidsons journey into the Soviet interior makes for an extraordinary story. More than a memoir of survival, the Davidsons story is clearly one of a family whose spirit could not be destroyed by persecution, war, famine, or political oppression.
