19381st printing of the 1938 edition. October, 1938. Original illustrated wrappers, 12mo (small) , 191 pages, including many, many period ads. Published just one month prior to Kristallnacht, this is a Name and Address Directory of the worlds leading Fur business district, the Brühl, and its counterpart in Berlin, both very heavily Jewish. Divided into 2 sections, one for the Brühl in Leipzig, and the other for Furriers in Berlin. In the 19th and early 20th Century, the Brühl had become synonymous with the Leipzig fur and Tobacco trade. It was the name of the large street where the trade was concentrated (also including Nikolai- and Reichs-strasse) . The Brühl reached its highest density with 794 shops in 1928. Of these, about 58 percent were Jewish run and owned. In the period 1926-1930, the Brühl controlled about one third of the world market in furs. With the great depression, followed by the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, the fur trade went into decline. For political reasons the fascist leadership limited the import quotas for goods from the USSR, such as raw fur. And, of course, increasingly, Jewish merchants in the Brühl were discriminated against and expelled. Many fled to England or the United States, where they established new fur businesses. Following Kristallnacht, which came only 1 month after the publication of this guide in October 1938, it became impossible for Jewish furriers to function. Some of the most famous Jewish fur traders included: Julius (Judel) Ariowitsch (1855-1908) ; Chaim Eitingon (1857-1932) , known as "Fur King from Brühl", founder of the Ez Chaim Synagogue and the Jewish hospital; the Frankel family; the Harmerlin Family; John B.

Arzt says, The moral re-awakening of America will be tremendously enhanced by tangible acts of sympathy and succor for the innocent victims of the holocaust across the seas. The Jews of America must, with increasing generosity and self-sacrifice, contribute of their means for the maintenance of the overseas program of relief. Our suffering brethren in war torn Europe will continue to hope against hope, if our thoughts, our prayers and our united efforts will be with them and for them. The religious forces in America should champion legislation for the suspension of all restrictive legislation to make possible the immediate admission of children from Europe for the duration of the war. Millions of Americans will eagerly offer the hospitality of their homes for these unfortunates. The arrival of a huge expeditionary army of little ones to these shores will immediately fortify our spirit and will generate in us a spirit of selflessness and sacrifice which will enable us to face the future with courage and confidence.

Conservative Jewish men's group newsletter from the Holocaust period from the the second synagogue founded in New York (1825) and the third-oldest Ashkenazi synagogue in the United States. "The object of the 'Tattler' will be to provide the members with a regular source of information and entertainment....The Pogroms in Russia during the Czarist regime or the activities of the Zionist movement in recent years had no such effect on the consciousness of the average American Jew except to stir a sense of pity and sympathy for the afflicted ones. But the cruel, heartless persecutions of the Jews in Germany by Hitler and his crew, caused a stirring in the blood of Native Americans of Jewish birth that made them turn about and recall the religion of their fathers and the God of Israel. We of The Men's Club of the Congregation B'nai Jeshurun welcome with open arms all those who are returning to the fold."

One of them, the artist Menahem Shemi, organized an exhibition of drawings from the camps, which resulted in the publication of a booklet Jewesses in Slavery. This contained drawings by Lurie from Stutthof and Leibitz and was published by the Jewish Soldiers' Club of Rome in 1945. Lurie also created stage sets for the military song and dance group in the camp, which was founded by Eliahu Goldberg and Mordechai Zeira. Lurie reached Israel (Palestine) in July 1945 and was received with great excitement. Her stories were published in the press and her drawings were exhibited in exhibitions.

19441st edition. Original paper wrappers, tall 12mo, 69 pages. 22 cm. In German. The first separate publication of a demand for Nazi reparations to the Jews. In July 1943, long before the war ended, Siegfried Moses coined the term reparations in relation to claims of Jewish citizens against the German state. He published an article on the restitution demands of Jews in the bulletin of the "Irgun Olej Merkaz Europa", Tel Aviv; they publish here those proposals as a separate work. For the first time, Moses proposed that a State can commit an injustice, for which it must then compensate the civilian population which suffered under that injustice. This legal opinion was later the basis for reparations by the Federal Republic of Germany. Siegfried Moses (1887-1974) was a German-Israeli lawyer and the first state comptroller Israel. After the Nazi seizure of power, he helped German Jews transfer assets to Palestine. From 1933 on he was also chairman of the Zionist Federation of Germany (ZVfD) and Vice President of the Reich Association of German Jews. In 1937 Moses himself fled to Palestine; then in 1941 he wrote (together with fellow German emigre Walter Schwarz) the text of the 1941 Palestinian Income Tax Act. In 1947 Moses was a member of the delegation of the Jewish Agency at the United Nations and in 1949, he became the first state comptroller Israel (Chief of Court) . In 1956-1957, he was also President of the "Council of Jews from Germany", the official association of Israelis of German origin. In 1955 he co-founded the Leo Baeck Institute, serving as its director, and was on the advisory board of the United Restitution Organization in Israel (Wikipedia, 2015) .

19431st Edition. Original Paper Wrappers. 8vo. [16] pages ; 19 cm. In English. In this historic speech, Temple concludes, My chief protest is against procrastination of any kind The Jews are being slaughtered at the rate of tens of thousands a day on many days. We know that what we can do is small compared with the magnitude of the problem, but we cannot rest so long as there is any sense among us that we are not doing all that might be done. We have discussed the matter on the footing we are not responsible for this great evil but it is always true that the obligations of decent men are decided for them by contingencies which they did not themselves create We stand at the bar of history, of humanity, and of God. Holocaust-era speeches by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Rochester made to the House of Lords outlining ongoing atrocities and calling for the British government to approach the problem of resettling Jewish refugees with more urgency. William Temple (18811944) was a bishop in the Church of England. He served as Bishop of Manchester (192129) , Archbishop of York (192942) and Archbishop of Canterbury (194244) . A renowned teacher and preacher, Temple is perhaps best known for his 1942 book Christianity and Social Order, which set out an Anglican social theology and a vision for what would constitute a just post-war society . Against the background of persecution of Jewish people during World War II, Temple jointly founded with Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz the Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ) to combat anti-Semitism and other forms of prejudice in Britain. In March 1943, Temple addressed the House of Lords, urging action to be taken on the atrocities being carried out by Nazi Germany. (Wikipedia, 2016) SUBJECT(S) : Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) .

1943Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 36 pages each volume, 22 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to Essays from Conversations with Rav Yerucham Halevi Levovitz. Levovitz was the Mashgiach Ruchani of the Mirrer Yeshiva in Poland. One of the great exponents of Mussar. He was a talmid or Rav Simcha Zissel Broida one of the foremost disciples of Rabbi Yisroel Salanter. Below are eight fascicles printed in Shanghai. The first three fascicles were first published before the Holocaust in Baranovitch, the fourth was published in Kaiden due to the war. For a period during 1940, the town served as home to about 300 students and teachers from the Mir Yeshiva. After WWII, much of orthodox Jewry in Europe was wiped out, along with their many yeshivas (Jewish schools of higher learning) . One of the only yeshivas to survive as a whole body was the Mir Yeshiva, which managed to escape miraculously to Shanghai, China, and then on to America. Many of the new leaders of the American and Israeli yeshivas in the post-war period were students of the Mir, and thus followers of Rabbi Leibovitz. SUBJECTS: Litvak Holocaust Displaced Persons.

19481st edition, original portfolio wrappers, 8vo. 53 pages, plus many blank and unnumbered pages. Illustrations throughout. In French. Title translates as, Without Flowers Nor Crowns. This book is told in the first person, in a succession of scenes, impressions, portraits, thoughts, reflections and emotions that, in chapters very brief and titled, make up a devastating panorama about Elinas experience in Auschwitz. (elcultural.com 2018). "When I returned from Auschwitz in 1945, I felt what I had just experienced with such acuteness that it was impossible for me to keep it to myself. I recorded it in notes and drawings. This constituted Without flowers nor Crowns. I do not regret having written these notes as soon as I returned from camp because, over time, memories become distorted, they become watered down or dramatized, but always move away from the truth. (...)" Odette Elina (1910-1991) was a painter, was deported by the Gestapo to Auschwitz-Birkenau in April 1944 as a communist, but above all and above all because she was Jewish. In 1940, she entered the French Resistance network, she had had an initial function to establish the liaison between the writers residing in the South zone (notably Mauriac, Aragon and Julien Benda) before entering the Secret Army in 1942. We actually know very little about the biographical career of Elina before and after her deportation, apart from her exacerbated desire on leaving the Camp to testify to her life in the Camp. Without Flowers nor Crowns, [was] originally published in 1948 in the wake of the first testimonies on the Holocaust that appeared in the post-war years..." (Isabelle Dumont).

This is a beautiful copy of the scarce first edition with the original illustrated dust jacket. Norbert Frýd (born Norbert Fried) (1913 1976) was a Czech writer, journalist and diplomat. He is known mainly for his autobiographical novel Krabice ivých (A Box of Lives, 1956) , in which he describes his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. During World War II, he was imprisoned in the Theresienstadt, Auschwitz and Dachau-Kaufering concentration camps The plot is set in the last months of 1944, in the fictional concentration camp of Gigling. The main character, the young intellectual Zdenek Roubík, is an assistant in the camp office. One of his jobs is to maintain the card index of the inmates, hence the title of the novel, A Box of Lives. In the camp, Roubík gradually manages to overcome the apathy and depression caused by the death of his brother and he becomes more actively involved in camp life. The author attempts to depict everyday life, social interactions and relationships in the camp, and the work and hardships of the inmates. The description of the SS guards in the camp is a focus of particular attention The novel was acclaimed by contemporary critics, and republished in numerous editions and translations. (Wikipedia, 2017) Frýds successful novel was published twice in Czech in 1956, with this 1st edition being much rarer than the stated 2nd edition.

Heavily illustrated catalog of an exhibit in Budapest, 1946, to illustrate the persecution of the Hungarian Jews during World War II. Printed entirely on glossy paper, this catalog includes 55 photos, facsimiles, and other images from the exhibition, primarily anti-Nazi Hungarian Jewish artwork and posters, but also anti-Semitic posters, death cam photos, and scenes of new life in Palestine.

The Foreword notes (translated) that The first anniversary of the liberation of the Budapest ghetto has arrived. It is time to bring to the world the terrible documents of the tragedy of Judaism and put the still unbelievers who turn their heads into thinking; those who do not believe because they do not want to believe. But not only the persuasion of the doubters is the goal of this attempt, but also of recalling over and over again for those who forget quickly. This is the purpose of this sad picture book, with all the cries, complaints and death blows coming from all sides. These pictures are just dull shadows of reality.

Collection of detailed reports on the Jewish persuctions as of late 1941 throughout Europe, and organized by region, with anecdotal as well as statistical evidence and sources cited. The report came out just 2 months before the notorious Wansee Conference where German extermination policy became official, and the reports here, in detail and in in broad brush stroakes, reflect the quickly deteriorating situation for Jews under German occupation. For example from the Polish section: We must declare at the very outset that words are powerless to portray the agony and suffering of Polish Jewry in the 80 days of Germany role. The hell-like reality of the Polish Jews, a hell-like reality which has already lasted more than 80o days, and where literally every minute, every second demands Jewish victims, without a stop, without any interruption, and the hand of the torturer and murderer, the robber and offender is still unwearied, --this reality is not to he described in words.
