19361st edition. Original illustrated wrappers, 4to (large) , 34 pages. Loaded with illustrations. Event program. Striking cover illustration and one text illustration by Mitchell Loeb. Includes illustrations in text (halftones) and a section of ads. The World Labor Athletic Carnival was organized to directly oppose U. S. Athletes' participation in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, which were viewd as providing both legitimacy and a prime propaganda opportunity to Hitler's Nazi government. Put together in 1936 by a coalition of New York left-wing political organizations and labor unions including the heavily Jewish International Ladies' Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) , the Socialist and Communist Parties, the Jewish Labor Committee, and others, the Carnival took place over two days, coinciding with the two final days of the Berlin Games, and involved an array of high-profile American, Canadian, and a few international competitors including high-jumper Walter Marty, sprinters Eulace Peacock and Perrin Walker, and pole vaulter George Varoff. In the end, the Carnival proved something of a disappointment from both an attendance and an athletic perspective. Aside from Varoff's world-record setting performance in the pole vault, "... The New York Herald Tribune described the athletic performances as 'mediocre' and noted that the spectators were unenthusiastic'" (for a detailed account of the event, see Edward S. Shapiro, "The World Labor Athletic Carnival of 1936: an American Anti-Nazi Protest, " in American Jewish History v.74, no.3 (Mar 1985) , pp.255-273) . No copies anywhere in OCLC.

1926First edition and 1 of 5000 copies published. Period boards with photographic front cover mounted on front. 4to, 136 pages. Folio. In Russian. Jewish Massacre. 1918-1921. With numerous photographic illustrations. A detailed album highlighting the horrific results of a wave of ferocious pogroms afflicted upon Jewish communities in the Ukraine including Skvira (Skver) , Poltava, Uman, Kiev and Yelizavetgrad during the Civil War years of 1918-21. The text has a distinctly Nationalist element, portraying Jews saved from the attacking native population by the Red Army. The publication was issued by Z. S. Ostrovsky on behalf of the Jewish Committee for Aid to Victims of Pogroms. With well over 200 photos, this work is based on an exhibit of images and documents put together by the Jewish Committee of Victims of Pogroms which was shown in 1923 in Moscow. Its a brutal depiction of the third set of pogroms which swept in Russia from 1918 and 1921 in the wake of the Russian Revolution, much worse than the earlier massacres in the 1880s and then again in 1903-1906. This post-war set of pogroms were led by bands of soldiers from the disintegrating tsarist army. Ostrovsky's work doesnt state the fact that the first pogroms to be accompanied by slaughter of Jews were perpetrated by units of the Red Army which retreated from the Ukraine in the spring of 1918 before the German army. These pogroms took place under the slogan "Strike at the bourgeoisie and the Jews." The Jewish communities of Novgorod-Severski and Glukhov in northern Ukraine were the most severely affected. These pogroms reached their climax in the massacre at Proskurov on Feb. 15, 1919, when 1,700 Jews were done to death within a few hours. On the following day, a further 600 victims fell in the neighboring village of Felshtin (Gvardeiskoye). Those responsible for these pogroms went unpunished, and henceforward the Ukrainian soldiers considered themselves free to spill Jewish blood. The Jews regarded Simon Petlyura, the prime minister of the Ukraine and commander of its forces, as responsible for these pogroms. The general chaos which reigned in the Ukraine in 1919 resulted in the formation of large and small bands of peasants who fought against the Red Army. The Jews in the villages, shtetls, and towns there were constantly terrorized by the peasants, who extorted money and supplies from them or robbed and murdered them. One of the most notorious pogroms carried out by the peasant bands was that in Trostyanets in May 1919, when over 400 people lost their lives. In the fall of 1919, there was a wave of pogroms committed by the counterrevolutionary White Army, under the command of General A.I. Denikin. (credit: Klinebooks). See Z.

1967réf. 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.

19221st edition. Period boards. 8vo. 16 volumes, 31 cm. Early volumes are generally around 200 pages each; later volumes end up more like 125 pages. Ca. 2800 pages total this run. Published quarterly, or ever 3 months; the run here includes the first 6 years of the Nazi period. After 1946, this publication was known as the JWB Circle. The National Jewish Welfare Board (JWB) was formed on April 9, 1917, three days after the United States declared war on Germany, in order to support Jewish soldiers in the U.S. military during World War I .In 1921, several organizations merged with the JWB to become a national association of Jewish community centers around the country in order to integrate social activities, education, and active recreation. These merged organizations included the YWHA, YMHA, and the National Council of Young Men's Hebrew and Kindred Association (Wikipedia). These quarterly journals report on those efforts and make suggestions for how to improve outreach, activities, and leadership; they also make other proposals and raise questions for the Jewish Community Center movement to grapple with.

1943Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 36 pages each volume, 22 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to Essays from Conversations with Rav Yerucham Halevi Levovitz. Levovitz was the Mashgiach Ruchani of the Mirrer Yeshiva in Poland. One of the great exponents of Mussar. He was a talmid or Rav Simcha Zissel Broida one of the foremost disciples of Rabbi Yisroel Salanter. Below are eight fascicles printed in Shanghai. The first three fascicles were first published before the Holocaust in Baranovitch, the fourth was published in Kaiden due to the war. For a period during 1940, the town served as home to about 300 students and teachers from the Mir Yeshiva. After WWII, much of orthodox Jewry in Europe was wiped out, along with their many yeshivas (Jewish schools of higher learning) . One of the only yeshivas to survive as a whole body was the Mir Yeshiva, which managed to escape miraculously to Shanghai, China, and then on to America. Many of the new leaders of the American and Israeli yeshivas in the post-war period were students of the Mir, and thus followers of Rabbi Leibovitz. SUBJECTS: Litvak Holocaust Displaced Persons.

19481st edition, original portfolio wrappers, 8vo. 53 pages, plus many blank and unnumbered pages. Illustrations throughout. In French. Title translates as, Without Flowers Nor Crowns. This book is told in the first person, in a succession of scenes, impressions, portraits, thoughts, reflections and emotions that, in chapters very brief and titled, make up a devastating panorama about Elinas experience in Auschwitz. (elcultural.com 2018). "When I returned from Auschwitz in 1945, I felt what I had just experienced with such acuteness that it was impossible for me to keep it to myself. I recorded it in notes and drawings. This constituted Without flowers nor Crowns. I do not regret having written these notes as soon as I returned from camp because, over time, memories become distorted, they become watered down or dramatized, but always move away from the truth. (...)" Odette Elina (1910-1991) was a painter, was deported by the Gestapo to Auschwitz-Birkenau in April 1944 as a communist, but above all and above all because she was Jewish. In 1940, she entered the French Resistance network, she had had an initial function to establish the liaison between the writers residing in the South zone (notably Mauriac, Aragon and Julien Benda) before entering the Secret Army in 1942. We actually know very little about the biographical career of Elina before and after her deportation, apart from her exacerbated desire on leaving the Camp to testify to her life in the Camp. Without Flowers nor Crowns, [was] originally published in 1948 in the wake of the first testimonies on the Holocaust that appeared in the post-war years..." (Isabelle Dumont).

19561st Edition: Original Boards with Original Dust Jacket. 8vo. 437 pages ; 21 cm. In the original Czech, later issued in English as A Box of Lives. This is a beautiful copy of the scarce first edition with the original illustrated dust jacket. Norbert Frýd (born Norbert Fried) (1913 1976) was a Czech writer, journalist and diplomat. He is known mainly for his autobiographical novel Krabice ivých (A Box of Lives, 1956) , in which he describes his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. During World War II, he was imprisoned in the Theresienstadt, Auschwitz and Dachau-Kaufering concentration camps The plot is set in the last months of 1944, in the fictional concentration camp of Gigling. The main character, the young intellectual Zdenek Roubík, is an assistant in the camp office. One of his jobs is to maintain the card index of the inmates, hence the title of the novel, A Box of Lives. In the camp, Roubík gradually manages to overcome the apathy and depression caused by the death of his brother and he becomes more actively involved in camp life. The author attempts to depict everyday life, social interactions and relationships in the camp, and the work and hardships of the inmates. The description of the SS guards in the camp is a focus of particular attention The novel was acclaimed by contemporary critics, and republished in numerous editions and translations. (Wikipedia, 2017) Frýds successful novel was published twice in Czech in 1956, with this 1st edition being much rarer than the stated 2nd edition. OCLC lists just 4 copies worldwide (Emory, Wisconsin, Johannes-Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz, Univ Of Basel) , and none in New York City or in the North East United States. Slight toning.

19461st edition. Original Paper Wrappers, 8vo 32 pages. In Hungarian. Title translates as, Those who Died and Fought for the Honor of our People. Heavily illustrated catalog of an exhibit in Budapest, 1946, to illustrate the persecution of the Hungarian Jews during World War II. Printed entirely on glossy paper, this catalog includes 55 photos, facsimiles, and other images from the exhibition, primarily anti-Nazi Hungarian Jewish artwork and posters, but also anti-Semitic posters, death cam photos, and scenes of new life in Palestine. The picture material was collected by the Jewish Agency for Palestine Documentation Department in January 1946 (translated from page 2) . The Foreword notes (translated) that The first anniversary of the liberation of the Budapest ghetto has arrived. It is time to bring to the world the terrible documents of the tragedy of Judaism and put the still unbelievers who turn their heads into thinking; those who do not believe because they do not want to believe. But not only the persuasion of the doubters is the goal of this attempt, but also of recalling over and over again for those who forget quickly. This is the purpose of this sad picture book, with all the cries, complaints and death blows coming from all sides. These pictures are just dull shadows of reality. Subjects: Jews--Persecutions--Hungary--History--20th century. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) --Hungary--Exhibitions. OCLC: 1022126577. OCLC lists just one copy anywhere (NLI) .

1945réf. 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.
