1943x, 214 pp. Index. Foldout map. Seven black and white plates. First published in the U.S. in 1942. "Compiled under the auspices of the Research Institute for Peace and Post War Problems of the American Jewish Committee, New York. [The author] is able to lay bare every step taken by the Nazis to impose their evil will upon Poland; he describes too the resistance and underground activities of the population in opposition to the invader. Poland is being used by the Nazis as a testing ground for their scheme for a future German colonial empire in Europe. This book is of the utmost importance as an analysis of the evil which the United Nations have to combat." - dust jacket. Moderate wear to publisher's black cloth which is lettered in silver with red trim upon backstrip. Binding sound. Gentle toning to clean and unmarked contents.

1985328 pages. "A significant document by which the author acquitted himself of the obligation bequeathed on the survivors of the Holocaust by its victims to tell the world what happened to the Jews during World War Two, when to be a Jew was a crime. The Memoirs based on the author's own experiences and reports told to him by his relatives and friends, survivors of the Holocaust, describe the fate of hundreds of thousands of Polish Jews, banished by the Russians to Siberia and in particular the lot of those who came under the Nazi regime... A rich source of first hand information about the life in the ghetto, the Judenrat, the Jewish Ghetto Police and the methods used by the Nazis in the destruction of the Jews." - dust jacket.

1961320 pages. Name index. Subject index. "A shortened version of the second edition (1957) of a work first published in Polish under the title 'Dziennik Hansa Franka' (Hans Frank's Diary). Frank was a Minister of the Third Reich and Governor General of those areas of Poland occupied by Nazi Germany which were not incorporated into the Reich. At the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg for the first time in the history of the world thousands of secret documents were revealed belonging to a state in the grip of the imperialist idea of world conquest. Among those documents Hans Frank's Diary occupies one of the leading positions both on account of its contents and on account of its more than ordinary length: 11,000 typwritten pages in foolscap, making up 38 volumes. Any study of the history of the last war must include a reading of Hans Frank's Diary." - Preface. Author was a member of the Polish delegation to the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. Usual library markings. Above-average wear. Front hinge taped. Back hinge going. A worthy reading copy of this very important work. LASKA 316, KEHR & LANGMAID 5385. Book

1944Signed and inscribed by Jan Karski upon front free endpaper. Karski [1914-2000] recounts his experiences when his homeland of Poland was rent asunder by the joint Nazi and Soviet invasion of 1939, and his harrowing subsequent life as a member of the Polish underground, during which he was captured by the Gestapo and severely tortured. Provides a ghastly eyewitness account of life in the Warsaw ghetto, into which Karski was smuggled so his observations could be reported to the outside world. Firearms advocates will cringe at Karski's account of what happened after he and a large group of Polish soldiers handed over their weapons to their 'comrades' from the Soviet Union. In 2012 Karski was posthumously awarded America's highest civilan honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Obama. 391 pages. Moderate wear to publisher's red cloth. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. Binding intact. A sound copy of this truly unforgettable WWII narrative.
