1923Original Wrappers. 8vo. [437-465] pages. In German. Serial publication (published weekly) . Die Weltbühne ("The World Stage") was one of the most important forums for leftist intellectuals in the Weimar Republic; the German weekly magazine was focused on politics, art, and business, founded in Berlin on 7 September 1905 by Siegfried Jacobsohn and was originally created strictly as a theater magazine under the title Die Schaubühne. It was renamed Die Weltbühne on 4 April 1918. After Jacobson's death in December 1926, Kurt Tucholsky took over the leadership of the magazine, which he turned over to Carl von Ossietzky in May 1927. The Nazis banned the publication after the Reichstag fire, and its last edition appeared on 7 March 1933. In exile the magazine was published under the title Die neue Weltbühne ("The New World Stage") as an explicit anti-fascist periodical. After the end of World War II, it appeared again under its original name in East Berlin, where it endured until 1993. Even at its high point, Die Weltbühne had a relatively low printing of 15, 000 copies. Subjects: German Culture- Literature. Weimar. Wrappers worn and detached, outer edges chipped.

19611st edition, 12mo, original wrappers, with dust jacket, 219 pages. This book provides a condensed picture of the Nazi occupation in Poland. It is based on documents collected by the Main Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland. The occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the Second World War (1939-1945) began with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and formally concluded with the defeat of Nazism by the Allies in May 1945. Throughout the entire course of foreign occupation, the territory of Poland was divided between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. In summer-autumn of 1941 the lands annexed by the Soviets were overrun by Nazi Germany in the course of the initially successful German attack on the USSR. After a few years of fighting, the Red Army was able to repel the invaders and drive the Nazi forces out of the USSR and across Poland from the rest of Eastern and Central Europe. Both occupying powers were equally hostile to the existence of sovereign Poland, her culture and the Polish people, aiming at their destruction. Before Operation Barbarossa, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union coordinated their Poland-related policies, most visibly in the four Gestapo-NKVD Conferences, where the occupants discussed plans for dealing with the Polish resistance movement and future destruction of Poland. About 6 million Polish citizens - nearly 21.4% of Poland's population - died between 1939 and 1945 as a result of the occupation, half of whom were Polish Jews. Over 90% of the death toll came through non-military losses, as most of the civilians were targeted by various deliberate actions by Germans and the Soviets. Overall, during German occupation of pre-war Polish territory, 1939-1945, the Germans murdered 5, 470, 000 - 5, 670, 000 Poles, including nearly 3, 000, 000 Jews. This volume is profusely illustrated with numerous b/w photographic reproductions. Dust jacket has some wear, especially on the spine, internally very good condition, Good Condition Overall (AC-4-17)
2004Publishers cloth. 8vo. XVII, 271 pages. 24 cm. First edition. Contains over 30 black and white photographs. Publishers description: The unknown story of the successful American rescue of approximately 1, 000 children from the Holocaust is told in the words of the children and their rescuers. Sent across the ocean by their parents and taken in by foster parents and distant relatives, approximately 1, 000 children, ranging in age from fourteen months to sixteen years, landed in the United States and out of Hitler's reach between 1934 and 1945. Seventy years after the first ship brought a handful of these children to American shores, the general public and many of the children themselves remain unaware of these rescues, and the fact that they were accomplished despite powerful forces in and outside the government that did not want them to occur. This is the first published account, told in the words of the children and their rescuers, to detail this unknown part of America's response to the Holocaust. It will challenge the belief that Americans did nothing to directly and actively save Holocaust victims. Judith Tydor Baumel, Holocaust scholar and sister of two rescued children, provides an introduction explaining why, when, how, and where the rescues were carried out, who the heroes and heroines were, and which individuals and organizations placed almost insurmountable obstacles in their path. This account presents both recollections and experiences recorded at the time of the rescued children, their descendants, and their rescuers. The story demonstrates what a small group of determined people can do to change the course of history. Subjects: Jewish refugees - United States. Jewish refugees - United States - Biography. Refugee children - United States. Refugee children - United States - Biography. World War, 1939-1945 - Jews - Rescue. Gift stamp on inside jacket, otherwise fine. Very good + condition.
