ADDRESS BY THE HON. ALFRED M. LANDON OF TOPEKA, KANSAS; TEXT OF ADDRESS DELIVERED AT MASS RALLY HELD DECEMBER 13TH, 1939, AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS AND THE JEWISH LABOR COMMITTEE, TO REGISTER THE OPPOSITION OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AGAINST THE NAZI TERROR AGAINST JEWS AND OTHERS IN POLAND AND ELSEWHERE IN THE NAZI DOMAIN.

19391st edition. Stapled. [4] leaves. 38 cm. Single sided typed transcription of the speech Alfred M. Landon gave by radio to a mass meeting in Madison Square Garden. Thousands of persons gathered tonight in the Madison Square Garden, in a rally under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Committee and several cooperating organizations, to hear Christian and Jewish leaders condemn Nazi terrorism in Poland and elsewhere and to adopt resolution protesting against the Lublin Jewish reservation and other aspects of Reich persecution. The audience cheered speeches and resolutions which branded Germany as an enemy of civilization, warned that Nazi oppression threatened not alone the Jews but Christians and all of mankind, and called for renewed efforts to safeguard democracy and equal rights in this country. ("Nazi Terrorism, Reds Assailed at Mass Rally of All Faiths Here. " Jewish Telegraphic Agency 14 Dec 1939.) The American Jewish Congress and Jewish Labor Committee planned today to send a delegation to Washington in the near future to present to the Government a resolution adopted at last night's mass meeting of 20, 000 persons in the Madison Square Garden appealing to President Roosevelt to express to the German Government America's abhorrence and condemnation of oppression in Poland. The resolution was adopted after the capacity audience--it was announced that 8, 000 had been turned away--had heard Herbert Hoover, Alfred M. Landon, Mayor LaGuardia, William Green, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and others denounce anti-Jewish bestialities in Poland. An impressive part of the program was the chanting of El Mole Rachamim by a chorus of the Jewish Cantors-Ministers Association. Thousands in the audience, on the platform and even in the press section shed tears during the memorial prayer for the victims of the occupation of Poland. Hoover, who arrived unexpectedly, coming by airplane from Chicago, read a message which he had sent previously (JTA NEWS DEC. 14) , in which he denounced the bestialities visited upon the people of the Jewish faith. Mayor LaGuardia, who had come in by plane with Hoover, denounced those who are responsible for the outrages and the cruelties which are being inflicted upon hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and the new cruelty of exploited, occupied lands that were taken contrary to all rules of civilization. He declared there is being crystallized throughout the country today, throughout the world, a public opinion that will be visited upon the culprits not only in their day but for centuries to come. Landon, speaking by radio from Topeka, said that this evening you are expressing the conscience of America, a conscience that refuses to be silent in the midst of persecution. He declared: The time will come when the plain, average people of Germany will want to return to the amenities of international life. Decent treatment of all minority civilian groups will have a profound effect on our future respect for and appreciation of the German people. ("Roosevelt to Get Rallys Resolution Asking Action on Nazi Oppression. " Jewish Telegraphic Agency 15 Dec 1939.) Alfred M. Landon was an oil millionaire, a 1936 Republican Presidential Candidate, governor of Kansas, and a progressive. Subjects: Anti-fascism. Madison Square Garden. Republican Party. Speech.

AMERIKADIENST DER VDA PRESSEMITTEILUNGEN; PROPAGANDA GEGEN BLUFF; 1939, NR. 1

19391st edition. Large Broadsheet. 6 pages.63x60cm. Large tri-fold broadsheet, six pages of texttotal, single sided, printed on blue paper. In German and English. The Verein für Deutsche Kulturbeziehungen im Ausland,abbreviated VDA, is a German cultural organisation. During the Nazi era it wasengaged in spying across the whole world, using German minorities living inother countries. The American Service Press Sheet issue nr 1, entitled Propaganda against Bluff. Possibly the only issue of this propaganda sheet printed in Berlin. The English and German columns are written by German-Americans who returned to Nazi Germany; overall, the broadsheet attempts to confer a pluralistic legitimacy upon Nazi Germany, by emphasizing that Germans have a special culture and tradition, and thus argues for an American pacifist and potential pro-nazi political line. The English section was written by an unknown author, who states in his editorial Let us be friends!- that he lived in the United States for 12 years, and that American democracy, though the best for its people, is rife with contradictions, as opposed to Nazi Germany, that of a strong state with supposedly no corruption; the author also mentions his thanks for being friends with so many different northern European peoples while living in America, and generally utilizes the discourse of a liberal, anti-discrimination perspective from the new deal era and grafts it onto the German-American experience, allowing the author to produce various subtle lies such as the immense importance of German-Americans to American culture, the overwhelming amount of German-American farmers, etc. The author of the English section only once points out that his enemy is the jew, and only once proclaims himself a national socialist; overall, a very strange and alarming work of propaganda produced in Berlin, custom-tailored for a pro-nazi and gullible liberal pacifist audience alike. Possibly a work of the Intelligence agency of the SS; undoubtedly distributed on the East coast by pro-nazi Germans. Subjects: NASDAP. Anti-semitism. Propaganda. Not listed on OCLC. Edges extremely fragile, upper corner loss on all pages, affecting text. Fair condition. (LB-5-16A)

SHIRE ERETS YISRAEL, MI-TAAM HISTADRUT HA-MAKABI BE-GERMANYAH VE-HISTADRUT HE-HALUTS BE-GERMANYAH [SHIRI ERETZ]

1947Original Paper Wrappers with paper label as issued, 12mo, 208 pages, 17 cm. In Hebrew. Early post-war re-issue of this Nazi-era imprint, originally published by the Judischer Verlag in Berlin in 1935. Title translates as Songs of Israel: Maccabi Union of Germany on behalf of the Pioneer Association in Germany. In Hebrew. Lyrics (romanized) --also printed as vocalized text in Hebrew script. Anthology of 230 zionist songs. Includes unacc. Melodies. Published by the Yudisher Ferlag of Berlin, under the auspices of Hechalutz and Maccabi World Union. Jakob Schönberg was born in Fürth, Bavaria on September 8, 1900. His father, David Schönberg, was chazzan (cantor) at the Claus-synagoge in Fürth. ... Schönberg apparently earned his living during Germany's Weimar Republic (1919-1933) as a pianist, music critic, conductor and composer. He wrote articles for the Nürnberger Zeitung and served as a musical consultant for Bavarian Radio in Munich. Bavarian Radio performed some of his orchestral compositions. He also worked in films as a "musical conductor and illustrator" and some of his film music was published by Schott's Söhne, Mainz, and Hawkes and Son, London. Schönberg was interested in composing instrumental music especially orchestral. His first orchestral work, Prelude Symphonique, premiered in 1923. ... His style of composition took a decidedly Jewish turn after the Nazis took power in 1933, and Jewish musicians could no longer be employed by Germany's state-supported cultural institutions. In 1934 Schönberg transcribed the folk songs and dance tunes of several halutzim (pioneers) visiting Germany from Palestine. The following year he published Shire Erets Yisrael (Songs of the Land of Israel) , an anthology containing 230 Hebrew songs (Berlin: Jüdischer Verlag, 1935) . From this time until, at least, when he left Germany, these Israeli melodies would figure prominently in Schönberg's work. He set several of them for voice with piano and voice with flute and viola. His Suite für Orchester, 3 Sätze utilizes a Horra melody from the anthology. Schönberg's orchestral Horras appear to have been extremely popular in Nazi Germany, and were performed numerous times by the Jüdischer Kulturbünde between 1936 and 1938, in both Berlin and Frankfurt-am-Main (Jakob Schonberg Collection; JTSA) . Subjects: Zionism - Songs and music. Songs, Hebrew - Palestine. Jews - Palestine - Music.. Lyrics (romanized) also printed as vocalized text in Hebrew script. Includes unaccompanied melodies. Light wear, Good Condition (Holo2-68-20A)
