Preface printed in both Slovak and English by Vojtech Winterstein. Album of drawings depicting the daily lives of prisoners in Nazi concentration camps rendered in Reichentál's singular Expressionist style. Well known and highly-regarded as an avant-gardist through the Twenties and Thirties Reichentál exhibited widely in Germany and Eastern Europe until 1939 when German troops occupied Slovakia forcing the mass exodus of the native Jewish population. Though Reichentál himself was able to evade capture by the Nazis many of his family members died in the camps. He returned to Czechoslovakia after the war finally emigrating to the U.S. in 1950 where he continued to exhibit new work until his death in 1971. Despite the rather generous stated printing of 5000 copies plus 1000 copies of a signed numbered edition this album is notably scarce with only about 15 holdings worldwide noted in WorldCat KVK and COPAC of which ten are in North America.

1945ref. 1874311945-46. A photograph album compiled by an American soldier serving in Austria immediately after the Second World War containing several photographs documenting the Holocaust. The album is divided into three sections labelled "commercial photographs" "'captured' photographs" and "personal photographs". The Holocaust images are in the "commercial" section and show piles of corpses concentration camp prisoners both naked and in striped uniforms and views of the camps and crematoria. Other commercial photographs depict combat scenes entertainment and bombed-out cities. The "'Captured' photographs" - it is unsure what the compiler means by this - also appear to be commercially produced. The "personal photographs" were all captured by the compiler and individually captioned. They depict the American soldier - identified only as "me" - while posted in Pupping Austria. The images include portraits of himself and his named comrades views of the Pupping Prisoner-of-War camp local buildings and landscapes and excursions to nearby Linz. The photographs are dated from November 1945 to June 1946.

1967ref. 1824721967. Auschwitz memorialized - a record of "the first fully 'international' event" at the former camp A commemorative album for the opening of the memorial at Auschwitz on 16 April 1967 an important stage in its transition to an international memorial site. Situated at the western end of the railway lines that cross the camp the memorial remains a central part of the Auschwitz complex. The large granite memorial was designed by the Italian architects Andrea and Pietro Cascella. Approximately 200000 people attended the unveiling including Polish state officials the East German and Italian foreign ministers and prisoner organisations. The first two photographs show the memorial the third the crowd bound in by the barbed wire and the fourth the Polish prime minister Józef Cyrankiewicz laying a tribute. The remainder show the attendees eating lunch food stalls and chefs preparing the food. Given this the album was presumably produced for the organizers of the catering. "Abstract in form and vague in its message the monument and the events surrounding its unveiling in April 1967 certainly furthered the memorial site's growing international character and testified to the waning relevance of a traditional Polish-national commemorative idiom at Auschwitz. At the same time however the Birkenau monument failed to specify or acknowledge explicitly the suffering and death of Jews as Auschwitz and therefore took its place in the continuum of commemorative marginalization of the Shoah at the site" Huener pp. 145-6. The memorial does not mention the Jews specifically nor did Cyrankiewicz in his remarks at the event as he wished to continue to present the camp as a specifically Polish tragedy. Nonetheless the unveiling "drew tremendous attention from abroad and can therefore be understood as the first fully 'international' event held at the State Museum at Auschwitz. The highly publicized April ceremonies. reached the wider European public and through the presence of countless journalists the world" Huener p. 146. Oblong quarto 36 x 25 cm containing 28 silver gelatin prints ranging from 17 x 12 to 17 x 23 cm mounted on 21 leaves of thick black card string-tied within blue cloth covers.

1941ref. 167943The Hague: City Legislative Board 31 January 1941. Laying the groundwork for the Holocaust in the Netherlands A significant step in the implementation of the Holocaust in the Netherlands - a broadside ordering all Jews in The Hague to register with the authorities. The broadside was issued in the name of The Hague mayor Cornelis Lodewijk van der Bilt on the order of the Reich Commissariat for the Occupied Dutch Territories. Similar orders were made by municipal bodies across the Netherlands. Headed in Dutch "Obligation to register persons of wholly or partly Jewish blood" it states that anyone with one Jewish grandparent must register by 21 February 1941. Each person will be issued with a certificate which must be shown to authorities on request. Those who do not register are liable to a five-year prison term and confiscation of assets. The move was part of an ongoing campaign against the Jews in the Netherlands that began shortly after the Nazi invasion in May 1940. Registration was with the mayor's office - the poster attests to the co-operation forced or otherwise of existing political structures. Almost all Dutch Jews did comply with the order. Deportations from the Netherlands began in Summer 1942 and was effectively completed by September 1944; less than a quarter of Dutch Jewry who fled the country or hid with supporters survived the Holocaust "The Netherlands" Holocaust Encyclopedia accessible online.

Folio earlier numbers 1946 Number 1 through 1948 Number 18 bound in half black cloth and boards; remaining numbers 1948 Number 19 through 1951 Number 2 unbound folded once as issued. $7500.Scarce nearly complete run of the earliest issues of the Zionist newspaper Unser Welt Our World the National Weekly for Jewry in Europe published in Munich just after World War II and the Holocaust.Unser Welt was a Zionist-oriented publication with a deep respect for the Revisionist wing of the Zionist movement with editorial offices in Munich and Paris. Initially for the first two numbers the newspaper was called Hamdina ""The State""; this collection contains both Numbers 1 and 2 of Hamdina all published under that name along with Number 1 of the newly titled Unser Welt all from 1946. By the late 1940s however Unser Welt's circulation reached several European nations besides Germany namely Switzerland France Austria Belgium Sweden and Italy and its sub-title proclaimed it to be the ""National Weekly for Jewry in Europe."" The very fact that Unser Welt sought to be the publication of European Jewry spoke volumes about a conscious decision of a number of Jews to remain in the continent where two-thirds of their brethren had been murdered. This collection includes from 1946 both Numbers 1 and 2 of Hamdina then of Unser Welt Numbers 1 5 8-15 18 20-21 23-30; from 1947 Numbers 31 33-45a 48-82; from 1948 Numbers 1-18 all of which are bound together in one folio volume. The collection also gathers from 1948 Numbers 19-49 51-62 65-69; from 1949 Numbers 3-13 15-17 20-30 35-42 44/45-46 49; from 1950 Numbers 1-50; and from 1951 Number 2.
