THE ROAD TO RESCUE: THE UNTOLD STORY OF SCHINDLER'S LIST

2008Softbound. 8vo. XII, 250 pages. 23 cm. First English edition. The memoir of Mietek Pemper; in collaboration with Viktoria Hertling, assisted by Marie Elisabeth Müller; translated by David Dollenmayer. Publishers description: Mietek Pempers compelling and moving memoir tells the true story of how Schindlers list really came to pass. Pemper was born in 1920 into a lively and cultivated Jewish family for whom everything changed in 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland. Evicted from their home, they were forced into the Krakow ghetto and, later, into the nearby camp of Plaszow where Pempers knowledge of the German language was put to use by the sadistic camp commandant Amon Goth. Forced to work as Goths personal stenographer from March 1943 to September 1944an exceptional job for a Jewish prisonerPemper soon realized that he could use his position as the commandants private secretary to familiarize himself with the inner workings of the Nazi bureaucracy and exploit the system to his fellow detainees advantage. Once he gained access to classified documents, Pemper was able to pass on secret information for Schindler to compile his famous lists. After the war, Pemper was the key witness of the prosecution in the 1946 trial against Goth and several other SS officers. The Road to Rescue stands as a historically authentic testimony of one mans unparalleled courage, wit, defiance, and bittersweet victory over the Nazi regime.

DOS LEBN UN SHAFN FUN DR. FILIP FRIDMAN: KURTSER BIYO-BIBLIYOGRAFISHER IBERBLIK

1962(FT) Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 54 pages. 24 cm. First edition. In Yiddish. Title page in English: The life and writings of Dr. Philip Friedman: short bio-bibliographical survey. This memorial work outlines the biography and writings of the holocaust survivor and historian Dr. Phillip Friedman. From the Yivo Major Collections description of his work: Historian Philip Friedman collected documentation on the Holocaust and wrote extensively on the subject. He served as the first director of the Central Jewish Historical Commission in Poland in the post-war period, as consultant to the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, and as director of the YIVO-Yad Vashem bibliographical series on the Holocaust. His papers include eyewitness accounts collected from Holocaust survivors by the Central Jewish Historical Commission in Poland. From a New York Times Article (Holocaust Historian written by Lucy S. Dawidowicz; January 11, 1981) : In July 1944 Philip Friedman was one of a mere thousand survivors of the 150, 000 Jews of his native Lvov. Before the war he had already become known as a historian of Polish Jewry, but thenceforth, until his death in New York at 59 in 1960, he dedicated himself to the history of the Jews in that crucible of death which we now call the holocaust. [] Philip Friedman has rightfully been called the father of holocaust history. Except for Emanuel Ringelblum, who did not survive the war, Friedman was the first to organize the collecting of records about Jewish life and death under German wartime occupation. Friedman stimulated survivors to write memoirs and urged them to gather letters, photographs, relics and any remains that would serve future historians. Subjects: Friedman, Philip, 1901-1960. Friedman, Philip, 1901-1960 - Bibliography. OCLC lists 20 copies worldwide. Light soiling to covers, with small chip to edge of back cover; lightly soiled outer edges. Otherwise fresh and clean.
