1977Softbound. 8vo. 83 pages. 24 cm. Cover title: Concentration camp Natzwiller Struthof. Written by the National Committee for the Erecting and the Preservation of a Memorial for Deportation at the Struthof. Translated from the French, this booklet described the history of the Struthof camps; includes extensive photographs. About the camps: On 21 April 1941, near the village of Struthof, the Nazis opened a concentration camp, KL-Natzweiler. The central camp, the only concentration camp in France, was located in the then annexed Alsace département. Its annexes, scattered over the 2 sides of the Rhine, made up a network of nearly 70 camps, more or less large. Of the nearly 52, 000 detainees of KL-Natzeiler, about 35, 000 did not go through the central camp. A labour camp supporting the Nazi war industry, it was also used for medical experiments by Nazi professors from the Reich University of Strasbourg. On 23 November 1944, the Allies discovered the site evacuated by the Nazis since September. Some deportees from the camp annexes had their sufferings prolonged in the spring of 1945 on the "Death Marches". From 1941 to 1945, the KL-Natzweiler was one of the most murderous camps of the Nazi system. Nearly 22, 000 deportees died there.

1944Folded pamphlet. 4to. [3] pages. 28 cm. Holocaust-era imprint. Bigotry is Un-American is a short article from Archbishop of New York Francis Spellman, Apostolic Vicar for the U. S. Armed Forces, and confidante of Roosevelt. This article expounds upon the current war, the mutual unity of Americans of different racial and religious backgrounds fighting for unity against oppression, and the need to further tolerance. It greatly expands on the need to fully get rid of bigotry and intolerance, and the author argues for these reasons from a catholic point of view. Malice toward none, justice to all is the general American formula and practice. An interesting period piece from an archbishop who soon after became one of the more notorious Cardinals in the world, both for his extreme theological conservatism, and his pro-vietnam war, pro-nixon, anti-communist, American first views.

1998Softbound. 4to. XXII, 358 pages. 26 cm. First edition. Profusely illustrated with over 100 photographs in color. Naomi Kramer, the Education Director of the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, and Ronald Headland, music teacher at Vanier College, use the example of the individual to approach universal issues that inevitably arise in discussing the Holocaust - evil, courage, human dignity, moral responsibility, and the existential qualities of humankind. This book consists of two main sections - the first involves interpretation and reflections on the meaning of one individual's experiences during the Shoah. The second section sets forth the historical content in which these experiences occurred. It contains a comprehensive historical summary of the Shoah and represents a succinct synopsis of existing secondary literature and primary sources. A bibliography and extensive glossary of terms relating to both Jewish life and the Shoah are included. The strength of the book lies in its combination of micro- and macro-histories. Its micro-history section, entitled ``One, '' comes in the form of the personal testimony of Holocaust survivor Peter Kleinmann. It provides detail and individual nuance to the general, impersonal events of the Shoah. From sweet, pre-war memories of Jewish communal life in Munkàcs, to his death march from Gross-Rosen to Flossenbürg, Kleinmann's voice quietly evokes a small, tragic piece of the puzzle of Holocaust suffering. His experience of being saved from certain death only by a chance encounter with his brother who was a prisoner processing other prisoners in Flossenbürg, reminds us of the often arbitrary, slight difference between survivor and victim.

1961Hardbound. 8vo. 251 pages. 23 cm. First edition. In German. Title translates as: Hitler; Rise and Fall of the Third Reich; Documented in Pictures. Every page illustrated. Robert Neumann (1897-1975) was a well known Weimar era poet and novelist; his anti-nazi novels were publicly burned, and he soon after emigrated to England. A witty and ironical writer and a gifted political and social satirist, he had a fondness for the erotic and a genius for parodying modern poets. After the war, when he settled in Switzerland, he wrote an autobiography, Mein altes Haus in Kent (1957) , and then turned to somber themes relating to the Holocaust. Works of this kind are the documentaries, Ausfluechte unseres Gewissens (1960) , on Hitler's "Final Solution"; Hitler, Aufstieg und Untergang des Dritten Reiches (1961) ; The Pictorial History of the Third Reich (1962) ; and Der Tatbestand oder Der gute Glaube der Deutschen (1965) .

1997Softbound. 8vo. VII, 106 pages. 22 cm. First edition. This publication gives a brief history of Jews in Albania with an emphasis on their exodus in 1991; it emphasizes the widely unknown exceptional situation of Jews in Albania during the Second World War, in that not a single Jew was taken to any of the Nazi concentration camps. This accounts for the extraordinary fact that by War's end there were more Jews in Albania than before, due to an influx of Jews fleeing from other countries, not only Yugoslavia and Greece, but also from further afield such as Germany and Austria. Central to Sarner's history is Josef Jakoel (1922-91) , spiritual head of the Jewish community in Albania, whose perseverance in his faith managed to prevent the very small Jewish community in Albania from completely losing touch with their roots and with each other although travel even within Albania during the Communist period was extremely limited, and the few Jews were scattered between Tirana, Durres, Vlora and Shkodra. A second important theme of Sarner's account is the story of Albania's "Righteous" (those non-Jews identified and honored by Yad Vashem as people who risked their lives to rescue Jews during the Holocaust) . Sarner gives details of some of these people and families (Moslems and Christians) who housed and hid Jews, some for years; he remarks on the extraordinary generosity of those hosts, their refusal to accept recompense and their ungrudging giving even in situations of extreme danger. Not only were Jews offered hospitality by individuals and families; the Albanian government also heeded the code of honor for guests and refused to obey the command of the Italian occupies to expel all foreign Jews, and even provided a small stipend for needy refugee families.

1956Stiff wrappers. 12mo. 54 pages. 20 cm. First and only edition. In English with some German. Reports and Addresses of the Annual Meeting of the American Federation of Jews from Central Europe. The American Federation of Jews from Central Europe was the central representative agency of over thirty local and national organizations established by Jewish victims of Nazism from Central Europe in the United States. It was incorporated in New York in 1941 to safeguard their rights and to sponsor social service programs. The Annual Report from 1956 contains a central essay, After Ten Years in Germany which details the overall dismal state of German consciousness, the fact that anti-semitism is still very present, the experiences of German Jews, the many hundreds if not thousands of war criminals who have not faced sentencing or even arrest, the lack of direction in the U. N for truly attempting to prosecute for genocide, etc. From the introductory remarks: Since our Annual Meeting many rather important things have developed: The new Federal Indemnification Law was passed by the German Parliament and published on June 29, 1956; a new decree has been issued by the Boon government regulating the claims of former officials and employees of Jewish communities and organizations in Germany; and through our effort a General Ruling has been issued by the Treasury Department in Washington according to which all indemnification payments, including pensions, received from Germany are not taxable under the Federal Internal Revenue Code.
