1947rif. 43409New York The Organization No Date 1947. 1st edition. Double-sided English-Yiddish leaflet 2 pages. The Yiddish header translates roughly as "An Announcement To the Jewish Public" Bilingual American Flyer condemning the Joint the American Joint Distribution Committee AJDC for not doing more to help the Jewish DPs and its "hiding" behind the German police when DP's demonstrated for more action on DP resettlement. The issuing organization the United Jewish Survivors of Nazi Persecution/Farband fun Geveyzene Yidishe Katsetler un Partizaner was the first survivor network founded in the US. Their Yiddish name translates as "The Association of Former Jewish Concentration Camp Inmates and Partisans." The word "Katsetler" in their name is a contraction of "kontsentratsyonslager-er" using the letters K and Z "ka" and "tset" and thus short for "kontsetratsyonslager" a concentration camp inmate or survivor sometimes also noted as a "katsetnik." The flyer announces: "Jewish blood was again shed on German soil! German police fought with remaining victims of Nazism. But this time the sad event was instigated by the prominent Jewish organization-The Joint Distribution Committee. What happened There remains today in Camp Foehrenwald near Munich about two thousand helpless forlorn and ill D.P's who miraculously escaped the extermination furnaces in nazi-occupied Poland and Hitler-Germany. Hungry desperate destitute men women and children the 'forgotten' Jews have been knocking at the doors of the democratic countries for a haven and refuge and a home they can call their own. With this goal in mind they demand immediate help from the Joint while in camp and help to establish themselves in their eventual homes in the countries that have offered refuge. But the Joint turned a 'deaf ear' toward their pleas. And when these disillusioned D.P.'s demonstrated before the offices of the Joint in Munich the German police in a previously planned attack critically wounded whipped and battered off the demonstrators. The Joint in Munich with the approval of the Joint in Paris asked the police to protect them against the Jewish D.P. demonstrators. We the survivors of Nazi-Germany now living in the United States cannot forget the extreme torments and the inferno of the nazi-torture; we who suffered with many victims now in Foch- renwald are horror-stricken and dismayed and our hearts cry out against the Joint for the brutality toward our helpless brethern in misfortune. We express our deep-felt sympathy toward our brothers in Foehrenwald. demand that the Joint representatives responsible for these brutal attacks on the D.P.'s by the German police be punished. In the name of humanity we beseech the Jews in the United States to let their voices be heard help these sick tragic and frustrated victims to find homes and a life of human dignity again" From the English side of the flyer. After World War II Munich served as a major center for Jewish Holocaust survivors the "Sh'erit ha-Pletah" who were living in DP camps. The "Joint" was the primary welfare organization providing aid clothing and food to these camps. While the Joint was a vital lifeline its Munich headquarters at Siebertstrasse 3 sometimes became the focal point for frustration regarding the pace of aid distribution or more frequently the slow pace of emigration to Palestine Aliyah and broader often frustrating postwar conditions. Following the 1947 Exodus ship incident where Jewish refugees were returned to Germany by the British Jewish DPs felt trapped and staged intense demonstrations including protests at the offices of international organizations like the Joint to highlight their despair. These demonstrations were part of a broader effort by survivors to assert their agency and demand rights during their time in Munich 1945-1951. For more on tensions between Munich's Jewish DPs and the Joint see www.juedisches-museum-muenchen.de/en/exhibitions/munich-displaced-online/moehlstrasse. Scholar David Slucki notes about the publishers of this leaflet that "Within months of arriving in the United States in 1946 Jewish Holocaust survivors began to organize themselves to help with the process of resettlement. The small band of socialists who established the Farband fun Geveyzene Yidishe Katsetler un Partizaner United Jewish Survivors of Nazi Persecution this group initiated a dual process of identity formation and memorialization of the Holocaust. The first survivor network founded in the United States the Katsetler Farband this group developed a memorial culture that included commemorations and publications replete with its own rituals and calendar. Moreover the organization was part of a broader process of defining what experiences constituted the Holocaust and who was to be considered a survivor. Ultimately they were among a host of survivor networks in the United States to lay the foundation for Holocaust memorialization" Slucki D. 2017.

Portfolio of seven large folding maps on on 4 sheets of heavy paper 3 are double sided 1 is singled sided. Primarily black and white with some color. Text in Polish. Title translates to “Nazi camps in Poland 1939 - 1945. An Encyclopaedic Reference Book: Maps." Collection of 7 maps each 84 cm x 60 cm 33 x 24 inches produced by Jan Laskowski at the Main Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland. The maps comprise Volume II of the work; Volume I is a heavily illustrated 676-page book of the same title which we offer separately. The Seven maps all present are: - Map 1 Single Sided: Hitlerowskie obozy na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945. “Nazi camps in Poland in the years 1939 - 1945”. Showing: concentration and extermination camps sub-camps of concentration camps extermination centers POW camps more important sub-camps working divisions commandos and temporary POW camps penal labor camps major labor camps prisons transit camps & ghettos. - Map 2A: Getta na ziemiach polskich w okresie okupacji hitlerowskiej w latach 1939 - 1945 “Ghettos in Poland during the Nazi occupation in 1939 - 1945”. - Map 2B: Hitlerowskie obozy przejsciowe na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi transit camps in Poland in 1939-1945”. - Map 3A: Hitlerowskie wiezienia i areszty na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi prisons and arrests in Poland in 1939 - 1945”. - Map 3B: Hitlerowskie obozy pracy na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi labor camps in Poland in the years 1939 - 1945”. - Map 4A: Hitlerowskie obozy jenieckie na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi POW camps in Poland in 1939 - 1945”. - Map 4B: Hitlerowskie obozy koncentracyjne i osrodki zaglady na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers in Poland in 1939 - 1945”. Maps 2A & 2B have been described as a “Terrifying pair of maps showing the locations of German POW and internment camps in Poland during World War II highlighting the widespread locations of these establishments. In some parts of the map the information becomes so dense that three inset maps are shown. This map was designed by Jan Laskowski and printed in 1979 as part of a work on the Nazi extermination machine produced by PWN Warsaw a state-owned research-focused publishing house in Poland. The map on the front is particularly interesting for its depiction of symbols used to classify internees in German camps. The uppermost of these depictions shows the combinations that can be made for different types of prisoners of different levels of importance. The armbands that would have been worn by these prisoners is shown as well as the prison uniforms. Other details are also shown. The map lists hundreds of sites run by Nazi operators throughout the country. These include concentration camps death camps transitional camps and ghettos. The map is divided according to Poland's voivodeships with a key in the lower left. Names of cities too long to spell are also provided in the lower left. This map was produced during a point in Poland's history during which it was actively revisiting the period during the Second World War. Leading social scientists devoted their time to trying to gather all the living as well as the recorded history of the events of the Holocaust and related atrocities before this information vanished. Leading these efforts particularly during the 1960s and 1970s was the Glówna Komisja Scigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu known as the Chief Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. They were active in publishing maps both for domestic educational purposes and for international remembrance and diplomatic efforts regarding the Holocaust. Jan Laskowski was a leading cartographer who produced a number of maps in this field. These maps were produced as part of a series of maps that purported to combine to form an atlas of all of Hitler's crimes in Poland. Many of the large wall maps produced during this period could only show a fraction of the crimes or only the atrocities committed in one region. Thus a series of maps was needed to show all the points necessary which this present work contributes to. Polish Reinterpretations of the Holocaust: Studying the effects of German occupation in Poland is a delicate subject. While it is certain that Poland suffered at least as badly as any other European nation during the Second World War reinterpretations of the Holocaust in the country have also been used to satisfy nationalistic tendencies. It has become evident to Western observers in the last several years that there is a strong nationalist movement in Poland that seeks to place blame for the Holocaust solely on the shoulders of non-Polish actors a movement originally fostered under Soviet rule. This movement has gone so far as to limit freedom of speech criminalizing with a three-year sentence the suggestion that Poland or its citizens in any form participated in the murders committed by Nazis. As such the term ‘Polish concentration camps’ has been deemed unacceptable with the government-approved term being ‘concentration camps on Polish territory.’ All lines of evidence show that this map 2A & 2B was produced using the most accurate and impartial historical sources. The language on the map is simple naming only ‘Hitler's Atrocities’ and there is no evidence of a clear anti-German bias. However it is impossible to separate this map one of the most important productions of the remembrance movement during this period from the social situation in which it was produced. Maps like these can easily be converted into propaganda instruments and today's Polish leaders most of whom grew up during Soviet occupation will have formed their understanding of the Holocaust through maps like these. Soviet Censorship: While the content of the map appears to have been produced free from bias the map still had to go through Soviet censorship. Mentioning prisoner of war camps in which primarily Soviet troops were interned would have been a prerequisite condition upon which the publication of the map rested. Further the lack of mention of any Soviet killings or camps requires no explanation….The map unlike many later maps makes no differentiation between the populations who suffered at the various camps. This represents the Soviet agenda that all nations suffered fought and won equally which sought to limit divisions in this post-identity state” Ruderman 2022.

1945rif. 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. Oblong folio 370 x 290 mm embossed boards with gilt design on front new string ties containing 137 photographs of varying sizes on 15 card leaves remaining leaves unused. Covers very lightly rubbed and soiled some leaves a little chipped all photographs present. In very good condition. hardcover
1967rif. 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.

In 1935 a ban was imposed on exhibits of her work and in May 1936 she was arrested. Later in 1936 she traveled to Switzerland but she then returned to her home city and it was in Dresden that in May 1938 she was again arrested. In March 1939 she was found guilty of "Preparing to commit High Treason" »Vorbereitung zum Hochverrat« as a result of her Communist activities and/or her Jewish provenance and was sentenced to four months imprisonment. She served her sentence which in the event lasted till November/December 1939 in a prison in Dresden. However on her release she was granted an emigration permit. She emigrated to Bratislava then the capital of the still notionally independent Slovak Republic Slovakia. In 1940 she reached a refugee camp in Slovakia from where she moved as an exile to Palestine. Here she survived in a British internment camp at Atlit till 1942. On release she remained till the end of 1948 in Palestine living successively in Haifa and Tel Aviv. She was again able to show her work legally: exhibitions of her work took place not just in Palestine where she was living but also in the USA France South Africa and Great Britain.

1942rif. 51752Odessa: Zentral Auswanderungs Büreau 1942. Original document. Loose leaf. Very good condition. Quarto. Original loose leaf with black lettering. Announcement based on ordinance no. 35/942 of the civil government of Transnistria relating to the emigration of Jews in Odessa and surrounding areas. The text printed biligually in German and Ukrainian is organized into five statements. The annoucement concerns the liquidation and sale of goods of emigrated or vanished Jews beginning on March 1 1942 with the whole population without limitations given the right to buy these items based on oral agreements. Furthermore the announcement regulates details and procedures of the sale and at the end announces that after the sale proceeds will by handed to the Jews by the Central Emigration Office. "The rapid development of Odessa began after the Russian conquest 1789. Its Jewish population also grew quickly and in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was the most important Jewish literary community after Warsaw. In 1926 there were 153194 Jews in Odessa 36.4 percent of the total population and by 1939 their numbers reached 180000." Encyclopedia of the Holocaust Vol. 3 page 1080. When Romanians and Germans laid siege to the city on August 5 1941 many Jews in Odessa managed to leave and eighty to ninety thousand Jews remained in the city. Odessa fell on October 16 and the German Einsatzkommando 11b and the Romanian intelligence service immediately slaughtered over eight thousand residents mainly Jews and Odessa was established as the capital of the Transnistria region. On October 22 the Romanian military headquarters were blown up killing sixty-six officers and the military governor. In reprisal the Romanian ruler Ion Antonescu ordered devastating retaliation including the arrest of one member of each Jewish family. By October 1941 some 40000 Jews were assembled in the ghetto of the nearby city of Slobodka and their valuables confiscated. Deportations of some 20000 Jews began in January of 1942. When Odessa was liberated on April 10 1944 authorities reported that about 99000 Jews had been killed. Odessa again became an important Jewish center with 102000 Jews living there according to a 1959 census. Considering the context of "Kundmachung Nr. 2 the Odessa massacre of October 22-24 1941 and the murder of Jews living between the rivers Dniester and Bug during the Romanian and German occupation this succinct notice including its misspellings and mistakes in the German language is a chilling mirror image of the attitude shown by the occupying powers towards the Jews. Approximately 30000 Jews were killed in Odessa and more than 100000 in Transnistria. The text is printed in German on one side and Ukrainian on the verso. Minor wear and smudging.

1941rif. 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.

1943rif. 53630Tunisia 1943. Nearly Fine. Five-pointed yellow cloth star sewn onto plain beige cloth 7.3 by 9 cm. Yellow dye somewhat faded else in fine state of preservation. Specimen of the yellow star imposed on the Jewish population of Tunisia in March 1943 as a mark of the slave laboror. Tunisia was the only Islamic country to come under Nazi rule at first indirectly through the Vichy regime in France between 1940 and its liberation by Allied forces on May 7 1943. In response to the Allied invasion of Algeria and Morocco German and Italian forces invaded Tunisia on November 9 1942. By the end of November the Germans took the first anti-Jewish move by arresting four of the community leaders including Moïse Borgel the president of the Jewish congregation. "In addition to the governor-general's sympathetic attitude -- and in some degree to the pro-Jewish attitude of Bey Sidi Mohammed al-Mounsaf -- the Italians also in practice interfered with the application of the anti-Jewish laws" E.H. The dignitaries were released after a week following the intervention of the mayor of Tunis and the Italian consul. Because of objections by the Italians the edict to wear the star does not appear to have been generally enforced with rigor and was only formally imposed in two cities Sfax and Tunis. While 5000 Jews had originally been put on forced labor in thirty locations and camps along the front line "at the time of the collapse and surrenter in early May 1943 only sixteen hundred Jews were employed on forced labor" E.H. Given the relatively small labor force and the lack of zeal in imposing the anti-Jewish ordinances it is clear why so few of these yellow badges have survived. References: I. Gutman ed.

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.
