1941Original Wrappers. 12 mo. 15 pages. 19 cm. First edition. Holocaust-era detailed summary of the anti-fascist activities of the Jewish Peoples Committee. Demanding a forceful and militant approach to anti-fascist organizing worldwide, the Jewish Peoples Committee goes as far as accusing organizations, such as the American Jewish Congress and American Jewish Committee of passively allowing and ignoring antisemitic threats. The concise and polemical essay ends with a rousing call to DESTROY ANTI-SEMITISM! ABOLISH DISCRIMINATION! DEFEND DEMOCRACY AND PEACE! (Page 15) The Jewish People's Committee against Fascism and Anti-Semitism was formed in 1939, when the American Jewish Congress rejected applicants from the leftist International Workers Organization.

19431st Edition. Original 7 1/2 X 9 1/2 Inch Wartime Photograph of Members of the Jewish Progressive Club in Atlanta. "The Jewish Progressive Club was established in 1913 by Russian Jews who felt unwelcome at the Standard Club that had been founded by German Jews in 1867. Its organizers set up a holding company with a capitalization of $25, 000 to invest in real estate. In 1916, they constructed on Pryor Street a clubhouse which included a hall for dances, a billiard room, and a swimming pool. It was one of the only clubs in America to express its Jewishness openly. The Jewish Progressive Club was less exclusive than the Standard Club, and also more affordable. Since membership dues were a mere three dollars per month, it was quite popular with the "Russian" Jews, who were welcomed as members. In comparison, the Standard Club a fifty dollar initiation fee and annual dues of forty two dollars. By 1924, the Jewish Progressive Clubs membership surpassed 500, and the building had to be expanded [Shankman, . 'Atlanta Jewry, 1900-1930.' American Jewish Archives Journal.

194216mo. 512 pages. In English. OCLC lists 25 copies worldwide. The Jewish Publication Society of America is a society for the publication in English of books of Jewish content founded on June 3, 1888, as an annual membership organization. It was the third attempt to establish such a body in the United States. Its two predecessors were both called the American Jewish Publication Society; the first was founded by Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia in 1845 and discontinued in 1851, and the second was founded by a New York group and lasted from 1873 to 1875. The third effort, responding to the needs of a rapidly growing Jewish population, proved successful. The organizational meeting was called in Philadelphia, then still considered the cultural capital of the United States, by Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf and Dr. Solomon Solis-Cohen. The Society functions through a board of trustees, usually with a businessman as president. (EJ, Grayzel) In good condition. (HOLO2-8-5)

2000Original Wrappers. 8vo. 19 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Russian. Title translates as, Foreign Jews in the Trostenets Death Camp. E. G. Joffe is a leading historian regarding the Holocaust in Belarus. He has written thoroughly on the subject and among other titles is a board member of the national historic Society and Foundation in Trostenets. Maly Trotenests was a village in Eastern Bellrussia located 7.5 miles east of Minsk; camp and site of mass murder of Jews. About 200, 000 people were murdered in the Trostenets area. About 65, 000 were killed in Maly Trostenets, including over 30, 000 from the last major action in Minsk. Between July 28--31, 1942 and on October 21, 1943 the last Jews from Minsk were murdered and buried in Maly Trostenets and Bolshoi Trostenets. During 1942, Jews from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia were brought by train to be killed in Maly Trostenets. Most of the victims were lined up in front of large pits and shot. Tractors then flattened the pits out. The prisoners in the camp were forced to sort through the victims' possessions and maintain the camp. They occasionally underwent selections (see also Selktion) . This happened more frequently during 1943. In the fall of 1943 the Nazis began to destroy all evidence of mass murder by burning bodies. Soviet Prisoners of war were forced to rake through the ashes looking for gold. As the Soviet army approached in June 1944, the Germans killed most of the remaining prisoners. On June 30 the Germans completely destroyed the camp. When the Soviets arrived on July 3, they found a few Jews who had escaped. (yadvashem.org) Subjects: Jews, German -- Belarus.

1941Hardcover, 8vo, 138 pages, plates (1 double) portraits, 22 cm. Series: Europe under the Nazis; Variation: Europe under the Nazis. SUBJECT(S) : Descriptor: World War, 1939-1945 -- Netherlands. Bezettingen. Jong (19142005) was a Dutch historian. Born in Amsterdam into a secular socialist family, De Jong studied history in Amsterdam and started his career in 1938 as foreign editor of the anti-Nazi weekly De Groene Amsterdammer. Upon the German invasion in May 1940 De Jong and his wife managed to flee the European mainland, leaving behind his parents, sister, and twin brother none of whom survived the war. De Jong spent the war years in London, working for Radio Oranje, the voice of the Dutch government-in-exile. He also wrote four volumes on the events in the occupied Netherlands. In September 1945 De Jong was appointed head of the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation, which had been founded in Amsterdam immediately after the liberation. In 1953 he earned his doctorate with a study of the German fifth column. In 1955 he was commissioned by the government to write the history of the Netherlands in World War II. Between 1969 and 1991 Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog (The Kingdom of the Netherlands in World War II) was published in 14 volumes. Aside from his position as head of the RIOD, De Jong also gained recognition and respect in television appearances. He worked as a commentator on international current affairs and from 1960 to 1965 presented a series on the Netherlands during World War II. He always remained an assimilated, secular Jew. During the Six-Day War (1967) , however, he identified with the Israeli cause. De Jong became more and more a conscious Dutch Jew rather than a Dutchman of Jewish descent (Kristel in EJ 2010) .

19941st Japanese Edition. Original Paper Wrappers. Volume 1: 209 pages ; 19 cm. Smuggled out of the ghetto and carefully preserved in a kerosene can on a farm outside Warsaw, Chaim Kaplans diary, originally recorded in beautiful, disciplined Hebrew script, is a detailed eyewitness report of the Nazi occupation of Warsaw and a unique account of the destruction of the Jewish communities of Poland. Scroll of Agony begins on September 1, 1939, as the author, a respected educator, describes the Nazi blitzkrieg that stunned the world. It ends in August 1942, when Kaplan realized that the Nazi noose was around his neck. Kaplans remarkably objective account of the politics of occupation depicts a world of starvation and forced labor, of capricious death and planned mass murder. Yet his orderly script also conveys a world in which the struggle for survival included spiritual resistance: conducting services behind drawn shades, struggling to keep the schools open, and holding on to the rich fabric of communal life in defiance of the strongest force of dehumanization that the world has ever seen.
