19521st edition, original cloth, 4to. X + 377 pages, illustrations throughout. In Hebrew. English title: Lomza- In Memory of the Jewish Community. After the end of World War I, the ethnic structure changed significantly. After Orthodox Russians and German Protestants had left Lomza, it became a city of two religions, being inhabited by Catholic Poles and Jews. After regaining independence, Lomza reached the status of a county town in Bialystok Province (from 1939 on in Warsaw Province) . It was also the local centre of trade, crafts and industry, and also the seat of garrison at the same time. A few high school operated there, and what is more, the local press in Polish and Yiddish language was published. In 1925, Pope Pius XI made Lomza the capital of Lomza Diocese. After the outbreak of World War II, on 7 September 1939, Lomza was destroyed as a result of bombing. Three days later Germans entered the city. On 28 September 1939, the city was handed over to Red Army units. Lomza was incorporated into the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. The occupiers transported to Siberia. When the war between the Germans and the Soviets began, on 22 June 1941, Lomza was bombarded by German Luftwaffe, while on 24 June occupied by Wehrmacht. In July, the city and the whole land of Bialystok were subordinated to the Gauleiter of East Prussia. A ghetto was formed in August. Jewish inhabitants and refugees from other areas were relocated there. In September 1941 about 31, 000 Jews from the ghetto were sent before a firing squad; most of those who remained were killed in Treblinka and Auschwitz-Birkenau. During the war (fights on the line of the River Narew) , in winter 1944/1945, about 70 per cent of Lomza's buildings were destroyed. The reconstructed city was the centre of county in Bialystok Province to 1975, and next it was the capital of Lomza Province, existing to 1998, as a result of an administrative reform in 1975. In 2013, the city had a status of the centre of Lomza County and a city with county rights (so-called municipal county) . (sztelt.org 2018) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Poland -- Lomz? A -- History.

19721st edition, original cloth with dust jacket, 4to, 11 pages + 754, 170 columns. Illustrations throughout. In Hebrew, with an English section. This is the story of a vanished world, the shtetel of Antopol. The material for this presentation was gathered painstakingly over a long period of time by a relatively small group of dedicated people who wished to preserve its memory and heritage for the descendants of its martyred. More than a history, this story is very personal because our parents, grandparents and great-great grandparents going back many generations came from this community. This is also a place whose many sons and daughters in years past left to seek a new and free life. Many achieved success and prominence all over the world - the United States, South Africa, Argentina, and other areas of the globe. We are the fortunate descendants of these hardy forebears and pioneers. It is hard to imagine that only a few decades ago there existed a vibrant, living community called Antopol, with its men, women and children; its market place, stores, schools. Beth medroshim (Houses of Prayer) , orphanages, Gmilas Hasodim (free loan society for the needy) , newspaper stands - all so familiar and so dear to memory. This little town was typical of hundreds of similar smaller and larger communities. And, like Atlantis, or some past people recounted in a saga, it suddenly vanished in the most bloody massacre in all of history. But this presentation is for the living - to convey to us, the she'erit or last remnant of descendants, something of the heritage, spirit and, record of the life of this community which many of us know only in an abstract and detached way. The task is too great, and our resources too limited to write the whole story. This little volume, condensed and translated into English, is both a record and a personal memorial to a profoundly meaningful and warmly nostalgic past.

19601st edition, later paper wrappers, 8vo. 808 + xx columns, illustrations throughout. In Hebrew, with an English title page and introduction. We consider it important and necessary to represent a review of our Memorial-Book to the children and friends of the Goniondz Society who do not read Yiddish or Hebrew. Let all of them get an idea about the Hometown of their parents and relatives and together with them hold dear the memory of the small Jewish community, that went to martyrdom during the black period of the bestial Nazi rule. 6, 000, 000 Jews perished during the 2nd World War in Eastern and Central Europe. Many bigger and smaller towns were immortalized in memorial books. They stand out like living symbols, spiritual monuments for the coming generations. Our beloved Goniondz has surely earned such a monument. The Jewish Goniondz was very lively and interesting. The small Jewish population was very active, established many parties and clubs and gave to the world outstanding intellectuals in many fields, both Jewish and general. Citizens of Goniondz are spread out all over the world. The majority of them live in the United States and in Israel, where they have established many societies and cooperatives in the socio-philanthropic field, giving financial and moral support to needy townspeople. The Memorial-Book portrays to a great extent the manysided life of Goniondz before its destruction. (from book) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Poland -- Gonia? Dz. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) .

19751st edition, original cloth, 8vo. 795 pages, illustrations throughout. In Hebrew and Yiddish. (Wednesday, 15th of Shvat 5700, December 27, 1939.) Thirty-five years have passed since that dark day when shots were fired, and the entire Jewish population left their hometown of Zgierz. On that day, confusion and terror enveloped the big and the small, the poor and the rich. Children lost their parents and parents searched for their children. The weeping and screaming could be heard on all of the streets. Driven to the old marketplace, with their packs over their shoulders, the Jews of Zgierz fled into the forests with the fear of death, that only the eyes that saw could believe. The largest group of them fled to Lodz, a smaller group went to Glowno, and only a very few set out and arrived in Warsaw. In their despair, the unfortunate souls could not imagine that all of the roads were leading to a strange ending, to death. Thus in one day did end the flourishing Jewish community of Zgierz, that numbered 5, 000 souls and was bound up with the city throughout the 200 year history with intertwined work for its growth and development. It ended for not only were our holy shrines burnt, but the despicable people even desecrated the 150 year old cemetery and covered it over with earth, so that there would not remain even a memory of Jewish life on Zgierz soil. For us, the survivors, lies the great and holy duty to observe this memorial day and perpetuate it forever. This should be a day of memory and warning for us and for our children. Just as we light the memorial candles for our martyrs, we also must not forget the curse and the eternal hate for the disgusting criminals and murderers of the Jewish people. We who remain in sorrow should find comfort in the work for those close to us, and in the work to perpetuate the memory of our martyrs our parents, our brothers and sisters, relatives and friends and the entire community of Zgierz. May their memory be blessed! (translated from book, Jewishgen 2018) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Poland -- Zgierz. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Ethnic relations. OCLC: 40705049.

The author includes no fewer than 8 references to Antisemitic references to the Jews or Jewish conspiracy against Germany, as well as the other standard Nazi tropes. "Germany is now making a legend - the legend of the Third Empire. She is giving it saints and heroes and martyrs. Unlike other legends, this legend is new and burning and contemporary. It fans national pride (suffering from a sense of defeat) with ardent fires, and ... It tends to encourage dislike of other nations. The new Germany, based on racial nationalism, is building a story of the great Renaissance of national life since the collapse of 1918; and it is building it on the foundations of exaltation of German blood and depreciation of what is non-German. Being thorough, as well as passionate, the Germans are making the story they have built not only a matter of song and poem, but also a matter of text-books and educational method. The result is school history-books like that which is analysed in the following pages" (from the Foreword) . Friends of Europe publications, no. 11.
