19451ST Separate Edition. Original paper outside pages, no cover, as issued. 8vo booklet, 11+[1] pages. Reprinted from the Soviet Information Bulletin in Washington. Includes article Jew Baiting Must Be Wiped Out: No Mercy for Murderers, by Komarov, who was the most respected name in systematic botany in the USSR, ex-president of the Academy of Sciences, a deputy of the Supreme Soviet, and holder of the highest Soviet civil award-a Hero of Socialist Labour. Also contains smaller sections Conference of European Jewry, Fight for Humanity, Meeting of Jewish Communists, French Jews Reorganise, and Commentary. The general theme is uniting forces and countries to fight against antisemitism. From Komarovs article, To keep silence about this is to deliver our children to death. In this matter, if any country gives shelter to the Hitlerites or their ideas, in the shape of discriminatory legislation in the shape of racial organisation or racial Press, it is no longer an internal affair of that country. If your neighbour uncloses in his backyard a container with poison gases which threaten to spread over the entire town, you will not waste time by asking for permission to enter his backyard, you will do so to avert death for thousands of people. Racial ideas are more dangerous than any poison gas. It is our generations duty to the future, to the cause of the progress of civilisation and humanity, not only to put out the smoking fire of Fascism but to uncover and extinguish every smouldering coal of it.

A detailed examination of the response of Jewish communities in New York City and Boston to overt and increasingly politicized antisemitism during the late 1930s through the 1940s. This study begins by describing the incidents of overt anti-Semitism in two specific places at a particular time, and by investigating the Jewish response to them. This is followed by evaluation of the role of public opinion within the Boston and New York Jewish communities and that of the non-Jewish press in pressuring Mayor LA Guardia of New York City and Governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts to take action against the assaults on Jewish children.

19361st separate edition. 8vo. [1] page. Reprinted from Accrington Observer & Times. Chief Rabbi Prof. Israel Abrahams of The Great Synagogue, Cape Town, South Africa, was the Chief Rabbi of the United Council of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations (Cape Province and South West Africa ) and also Northern Rhodesia, from 1937 to 1968, after which he and his wife made Aliyah to Israel. He was the head of the department of Jewish Studies at The University of Cape Town. He was one of the founders of Herzlia School. In South Africa he wrote several books of sermons including Pathways in Judaism, Living Waters and The Birth of a Community - a history of Western Province Jewry from its earliest times to the end of the South African War, 1902. He translated the scholarly works of Prof Umberto Cassuto from Hebrew to English, both while in South Africa and later in Jerusalem. In Israel he went on to translate works by Prof Urbach and others, until his death after a short illness in October 1973. Chief Rabbi Prof Abrahams was born in Vilna and came to London as a small child, where he later received his Rabbinic Ordination from Jews College. He received his degrees at University of London. He came to Cape Town after serving as the Rabbi of the Great Synagogue in Manchester. (telfed.org) Abrahams was responding to an article in which some facts said by Coun. John Wilson and Mr. Barnes were inaccurate and anti-Semitic. He refutes that claims that In the post-war [ie post WW I] years Germany was over-run by Jews from Russia and Poland, and that some 90 per cent of the official posts in the country were occupied by Jews. He does not take an attacking tone, rather stating that, It is a thousand pities that Councillor Wilson and Mr. Barnes did not take the trouble to verify all their facts before giving their impressions Press publicity. British sympathy should be extended to the Jew, who is the helpless victim in Germany and the convenient scapegoat for all its tribulations, not to Hitler, the aggressor who has shown neither Christian charity, nor a sense of ordinary justice and humanity in his persecution of a community that has not only lived in Germany since earliest times, but has performed yeoman service in its countrys behalf.

1987Publishers cloth. 8vo. XXII, 310, [2] pages. 24 cm. First edition. In this work Jacques Adler, a former member of the French resistance, asks: Are people powerless when confronted with a State determined to destroy them? Why didn't more Jews survive the Holocaust? How did we survive? Did we, the survivors, do all that we could, at the time, to help more people survive? In answering these questions, Adler examines the diverse Jewish organizations that existed in Paris during the German occupation from 1940 to 1944. The first part of the book analyzes the national composition of the Jewish population, its expropriation and daily life. The remaining chapters discuss the roles, activities, and policies of various Jewish organizations as they supported Jews in their search for survival, alerted the non-Jewish population to the terrible threat faced by every Jewish family, and acted as representatives of the Jewish people-a role that led to inevitable administrative cooperation with the Nazis and Vichy. Combining careful scholarship with a survivor's zeal to set the record straight, Adler gives an insider's account of resistance members, whose determination was born of the pain and anger that came from the loss of loved ones, whose political ideology sustained them even when they faced the threat of starvation and the loneliness of clandestine existence, and whose anguish was all the more intense because they belonged to that community in Paris that was selected as fodder for the "Final Solution. " Thoroughly researched and drawing upon previously unavailable materials, Adler presents an important portrait of communal solidarity and communal conflict, of heroes and those whose courage failed.

Profusely illustrated, with an epilogue by Randolph L. Braham. Presented by Steven Spielberg and Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation; with an introduction by David Cesarani; historical consultants, Michael Berenbaum, Randolph Braham. The German plan for annihilation of the Jews-called the 'Final Solution'-set the goal that not a single survivor would be left to bear witness to the events. Fifty years later, Steven Spielberg established Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation to record the testimony of as many survivors as possible. From the ashes of the Holocaust these voices now emerge to share their stories and to represent the nearly six million Jews who did not survive. Survivors and liberators share what they experienced in gripping, firsthand testimony. Archival photographs document history, and powerful color images chronicle the survivors' emotional return to the places of their pasts: from homes unseen for fifty years to the ghettos and concentration camps of their imprisonment. Top scholars have been brought together to share their insights into one of humanity's darkest chapters. These elements are poignantly synthesized in The Last Days as a warning for all mankind. - Publishers Description. Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Jews - Persecutions - Hungary.
