1945First edition. Original red, black, and white paper wrappers. 12mo. 144 pages; 18 cm. In Czech. Title translates to Cavalry Nazi Hell: Notes from a German Concentration Camp. Divided into various chapters. Includes several full page illustrations of scenes from the camp. Vlastimil Louda was a musician prisoner at Buchenwald who played in the camp orchestra. The orchestra played at the camp gates in the mornings and evenings as inmates marched to and from their forced labour assignments. The musicians were eventually granted freedom from other work commandos, and a designated room to practise in. However, the SS liked to spend their leisure time there, and would often barrage them with requests. When visitors came, the band sometimes had to play in order to cover up the punishment of prisoners, or to serve as an advertisement for the good treatment of the Buchenwald inmates. The most important change for the Buchenwald orchestra was the appointment of Vlastimil Louda as central bandmaster. Under his leadership, the band increased in size, its repertoire expanded and the quality of performance improved dramatically (HolocaustMusic.org 2017) .

1958Portfolio with Paper Dustjacket. 20 black and white sketches and 10 watercolors. With accompanying text by Esther Lurie; introd. Moshe Sharett ; foreword Eugene Kolb, Esther Lurie [1913-1998] was born in Liepaja, Latvia, to a religious Jewish family. From 1931-1934 she learned theatrical set design at the Institut des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels, and afterwards studied drawing at the Académie Royal des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp. In 1934 Lurie migrated to Palestine with most of her family and worked at various artistic activities. In 1939 she travelled to Europe to further her studies. World War II had begun while she was in Lithuania and during the Nazi occupation (1941-44) she was imprisoned in the Kovno ghetto along with the other Jews. As soon as she entered the ghetto, in mid-1941, Lurie began to sketch views of her new world. She has left behind a detailed written testimony of her life and work during World War II. This combination of literary and visual testimony make up a "living witness". Lurie drew everywhere in the ghetto, including the various workshops. Including a pottery workshop. During her visits there, Lurie got the idea of asking theJewish potters to prepare a number of jars for her. She would use these to conceal her art works if the situation worsened. After the deportation of 26 October 1943, in which 3,000 ghetto inmates were removed to forced labor camps in Estonia, Lurie hid her artcollection, approximately 200 drawings and watercolors, in the large jars she had prepared in advance. In July 1944, as the Red Army approached Lithuania, the ghetto was liquidated and those remaining were transferred to concentration camps and forced labor camps in Germany. The ghetto was set on fire and the buildings were blown up and burnt to prevent those hiding from escaping. Esther Lurie was sentto Stutthof concentration camp, leaving her hidden works behind. After the war some of her drawings were recovered, surviving with the Ältestenrat's archive. Avraham Tory succeeded in rescuing 11 sketches and watercolors and 20 of the photographs of her works. During the Eichmann trial, which took place in Jerusalem in 1961, Lurie's SecondWorld War works were exhibited as part of the testimony - giving an "official authorization" from Israel's Supreme Court to the rich documentary value of her sketches and watercolors. This is in addition to their aesthetic value as objects of art. SUBJECT(S): World War, 1939-1945 -- Pictorial works.

He was one of the compilers of the Sistematicheskiy ukazatel literatury o yevreyakh na russkom yazyke ('Systematic Guide to Russian Literature About Jews, ' 1892) , and contributed many articles to Voskhod and other periodicals on problems of Jewish education, emigration, and colonization.
