Collection of Postcards from Resorts Around the US Advertising Gentiles-Only Vacation Accommodations

1970réf. List3712United States 1970. 33 items: 28 postcards and five pamphlets. Generally excellent. A collection of postcards and pamphlets for hotels resorts and some planned neighborhoods around the US-mainly in New York New Jersey and Florida-with most advertising that they did not accept Jewish visitors. Many of the resorts' restrictions are stated implicitly advertising "restricted" "exclusive" or "carefully selected" clientele or mentioning their proximity to "Catholic and Other Christian Churches". Other postcards are explicit: the Marine Terrace Hotel in Miami advertises "Strictly Gentile Clientele" Mountain Lakes in Bethel New York is described as "a restricted Gentile Vacation Colony" and Awosting in New Jersey assures patrons that "The most careful Christian restriction insures the congenial atmosphere characteristic of the community." Pamphlets for Thendara Lodge and Locust Cottage both in New York state that they are "Gentiles Only"; and the collection includes a souvenir pamphlet for Mooseheart Illinois a planned community operated by the Loyal Order of Moose "an international fraternity restricted to members of the Caucasian or White race". The extent of discrimination against Jewish people inspired the publication of the Jewish Vacation Guide 1917 which documented hotels restaurants and services that were friendly to Jewish clients as the later Negro Motorist Green Book did for African Americans. The items in the collection come from twenty locations eighteen of which did not accept Jewish clients. The two postcards advertising resorts that explicitly catered to Jewish clientele come from Twin Pines in the Lake George region which advertises "Jewish American Cuisine" and Yarkony's Kosher Hotel at the Adler in Sharon Springs. These two hotels were part of the "Borscht Belt" an area of upstate New York that attracted Jewish vacationers mainly from the city. The area flourished between the 1920s and 1960s with hundreds of resorts offering Kosher food Shabbat and holiday services and entertainment. Of interest to historians of anti-Semitic discrimination in the US and of travel and recreation in the midcentury.

UN CHRÉTIEN CONTRE SIX JUIFS

1777réf. ST20535-04La Haye The Hague but Geneva: Aux dépens des Libraries 1777. FIRST EDITION. 215 x 140 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2". 1 p.l. 303 3 pp. Publisher's marbled paper wrappers flat spine edges untrimmed. A Large Paper Copy. Benesco 1860. Andrew R. Morehouse "The Voltaire Collection in the Rare Book Room" The Yale Library Gazette 17 no. 4 1943 p. 75. Paper wrappers a bit faded as expected slightly defective at corners and a little curled otherwise and perhaps even so A VERY FINE COPY--the text within immense margins entirely clean fresh and bright. This is a remarkable survival in its original wrappers of a work related to one of the most resonating controversies of Voltaire's life and writings--the question of his anti-Semitism. A giant of the Enlightenment and one of the greatest of French writers and philosophers Voltaire real name François-Marie Arouet 1694-1778 writes here in response to "Lettres de quelques Juifs portugais allemands et polonais à M. de Voltaire" a 1776 critique by Antoine Guénée objecting to the anti-Semitism especially as expressed within a commercial context in our author's "Dictionnaire Philosophique." Deeply philosophical and leavened with satire the 120 chapters of the seminal "Dictionnaire" were widely read much condemned and not infrequently burned as they challenged religious authority advocated for toleration and dealt with many social and political issues from an uncomfortable Enlightenment perspective. And there can be no doubt that Voltaire's "Dictionnaire" does in fact contain critical remarks about the Jews; at the same time the author's criticism is extended with equal warmth to organized religion in other forms. In the present response to Guénée Voltaire is nothing if not scathing which in the end works against him. As Voltaire scholar Andrew R. Morehouse wryly puts it the text here expands upon Voltaire's previous points in such a way as to "justify the accusation that he is cruelly anti-Semitic." This work is not exactly rare but it is very unusual to find it in original wrappers as here particularly in such fine condition. Aux dépens des Libraries unknown
