1952Good Solid condition.; 8vo; 387 pages; In Yiddish. Not in Robinson & Friedman nor Wolff. Jewish partisan's memoirs of resistance against the Nazis in Poland. Illustrated with many photographs throughout. Inscribed by Kaczerginski in year of publication. Kaczerginski (19081954) was a Yiddish writer and cultural activist. Born in Vilna to a poor family and educated at that citys Talmud Torah, Shmerke (Pol., Szmerke) Kaczerginski lost both his parents during World War I. As a youth, he was involved with outlawed Communist groups and was arrested several times, serving a lengthy prison term. In the 1930s, two of his revolutionary poems became popular in Poland. He wrote short stories with a radical bent and was a correspondent and reporter for literary publications, including the semilegal leftist press in Poland and the New York Communist daily Morgn-frayhayt. Kaczerginski played a key role in shaping the writers and artists group Yung-Vilne; he organized its evening events and was the de facto publisher of its three miscellanies between 1934 and 1936. During the period of Soviet control over Lithuania in 19401941, he was even more active in the field of Yiddish culture, but at the same time experienced his first disappointments with the attitude of the Soviet regime toward Jewish culture. During the first period of Nazi occupation, Kaczerginski wandered through villages and towns posing as a deaf mute; after many difficulties, he ended up in the Vilna ghetto. Kaczerginski was very involved in the ghettos cultural activities. As a leader of its youth club, he wrote its Yugnt-himen (Youth Hymn), a song that immediately became popular. In 1943, he wrote the song Shtiler, shtiler in memory of the mass murders committed at Ponar. Set to music that Aleksander Volkoviski (later known as Aleksander Tamir) had submitted to a contest organized by the ghetto, the song was first heard at an evening performance there and over the years became one of the best-known songs of the Holocaust. With Avrom Sutzkever and others, Kaczerginski became part of a group of forced laborers whom the Germans designated to sort Jewish cultural treasures at YIVO and other locations. Known as the Papir-brigade (Paper Brigade), the groups members risked their lives to hide the most significant items, smuggling them back into the ghetto or entrusting them to non-Jewish acquaintances. Kaczerginski was a member of the Fareynikte Partizaner Organizatsye (United Partisans Organization; FPO), and, since YIVOs building was located outside the ghetto walls, he took part in smuggling weapons into the ghetto. In September 1943, Kaczerginski, along with Avrom and Freydke Sutzkever and other members of the FPO, escaped from the Vilna ghetto as part of an organized group of fighters just before its liquidation. They joined a Soviet partisan unit in the Naroch Forests, where Kaczerginski fought as a partisan until liberation in July 1944. Kaczerginskis books describe the destruction of Vilna, the partisan struggle, and his own experiences during the Holocaust period: Khurbn Vilne (The Destruction of Vilna; 1947), Partizaner geyen (Partisans on the Move; 1947), and Ikh bin geven a partizan (I Was a Partisan; 1952) (YIVO, 2010).

1940Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 8 pages. 23 cm. Holocaust-era Publication by the Medical Committee of the organization Conference on Jewish Relations; this sociological study outlines the findings of research into the medical profession, the ratio of Jewish doctors to population, their dispersal geographically in the United States (with an accompanying map) , and proposals for the need to eliminate the quota system in the higher education system which prevents Jews from entering into diverse professions, as well as a proposal for where doctors in exile from the troubles in Europe can emigrate to (specifically, areas with low concentrations, not only of Jewish doctors, but doctors in general) . What is the status of Jews in the field of medicine, and what are their prospects? Are too many of them crowding the profession or are many turned away unjustly? How extensive or justified is the limitation on Jews in medical schools, on hospital staffs, or in certain specialized medical societies? Has our general standard of medical practice been sufficiently high to deserve greater prestige? What does the future hold out for us and what if anything should we do about it? The Conference on Jewish Relations has been studying these and other questions in the conviction that there can be no sound policies of proper adjustment to our fellow citizens without an adequate basis of accurate information as to the actual conditions. The piece also outlines, besides the systemic Antisemitism of the higher university system, the social Antisemitism of towns and locales wherein hotels or businesses bar Jews from admittance, owing to the presence of Nazi and K K K organizations, the same types of groups who repeatedly stereotype the Jew practicing medicine. Includes original laid-in business reply envelope of the Conference on Jewish Relations. The Conference on Jewish Relations was later known as the Conference on Jewish Social Studies; the Conference published the journal Jewish Social Studies. Subjects: Jewish physicians. Two listings on OCLC (HUC, UT Austin) . Clean and fresh. Very good + condition. (LB-5-34)
