Volume 9 of texts and studies in religion. the Holocaust represents not only the radical unfinished character of human becoming, but that church struggle and Holocaust studies are far from completed. In both pursuits specific new studies of a particular person or facet call for new syntheses in the attempt to arrive at a more comprehensive view. Hopefully this colume will prove to be a fruitful stimulus for such study and reflection. (Introduction) Sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews.

1997Original Wrappers. 8vo. 99 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Russian. A history of the Baranovichi Ghetto and the Koldychevo Camp. On the eve of the Holocaust, 12, 000 Jews lived in Baranovichi. Under Soviet rule (193941) , Jewish community organizations were disbanded and any kind of political or youth activity was forbidden. Some youth groups organized flight to Vilna, which was then part of Lithuania, and from there reached Palestine. The Hebrew Tarbut school became a Russian institution. A Jewish high school did continue to function, however. In the summer of 1940 Jewish refugees from western Poland who had found refuge in Baranovichi after September 1939 were deported to the Soviet interior. When Germans captured the city on June 27, 1941, 400 Jews were kidnapped, leaving no trace. A Judenrat was set up, headed by Joshua Izikzon. The community was forced to pay a fine of five kg. Of gold, ten kg. Of silver, and 1, 000, 000 rubles. The ghetto was fenced off from the outside on Dec. 12, 1941. The ghetto inhabitants suffered great hardship that winter, although efforts were made to alleviate the hunger. The Jewish doctors and their assistants fought to contain the epidemics. On March 4, 1942, the ghetto was surrounded. In a Selektion carried out by the Nazis to separate the "productive" from the "nonproductive", over 3, 000 elderly persons, widows, orphans, etc. , were taken to trenches prepared in advance and murdered. Resistance groups, organized in the ghetto as early as the spring of 1942, collected arms and sabotaged their places of work. Plans for rebellion were laid, but the uprising never came to pass, partly due to German subterfuge. In the second German Aktion on Sept. 22, 1942, about 3, 000 persons were murdered. On Dec. 17, 1942, another Aktion was carried out, in which more than 3, 000 persons were killed near Grabowce. Baranovichi was now declared judenrein . At the end of 1942 Jews were already fighting in groups among the partisans. A few survivors from the ghetto were still in some of the forced labor camps in the district, but most of them were liquidated in 1943. On July 8, 1944, when the city was taken by the Soviet forces, about 150 Jews reappeared from hiding in the forests. Later a few score more returned from the U. S. S. R. (EJ 2007) Koldychevo Camp (Koldyczewo) , forced labor camp in Belorussia, located 11 miles from Baranovichi, established by the Germans in late 1941. In November 1942 a crematorium was constructed in which some 600 people were incinerated. It later became an extermination camp in which Russians and Polish underground members were interned along with the Jews transferred from the surrounding ghettos of Baranovichi, Nowogrodek, Slonim , and others. Jews were separated from the other prisoners and the camp in the stables of what had once been a farm. Prior to the camp's liquidation on June 29, 1944, more than 22, 000 inmates were murdered and buried in 38 mass graves in and around the camp. A prisoner, Dr. Zelik Levinbrook, supplied medicine to the partisans with the help of a former patient. An active Jewish resistance, headed by Shlomo Kushnir, a former shoemaker, existed in Koldychevo. Its arms supply was meager: two guns, four grenades, and some acid. On the night of March 17, 1944, it succeeded in leading almost all the Jewish inmates out of the camp after killing ten Nazi guards and poisoning the guard dogs. Kushnir committed suicide when he was caught with 25 others. Seventy five prisoners survived. The rest joined the partisans in the forest. (EJ 2007) .

1968Plastic binder. 4to. 2, [1], 105 pages. Cm. Photocopy typescript. Manuscript of memoirs from 1938 through 1940 by Alfred and Claire Greybrook. Throughout these memoirs, Alfred recounts his time as a prisoner at Sachsenhausen, his subsequent release and immigration to Australia. Claire writes about her struggle obtaining immigration papers, the care of her family and many friends, and the harrowing voyage to Australia through mine infested waters. Years ago I completed our Memoirs 1938/1940 in the German language. However after I left the Griesbach-Greybrook Family Tree to future generations, I would like that for all times it may be known WHY, WHEN and from WHERE our family came to Australia. There are so many Australians of German Descent, who know practically nothing about their forefathers. So I translated the Memoirs from German into English to the best of my ability. It is my ardent desire that this book and the Family Tree from generation to generation will always be passed on to the eldest son of the Greybrook family.

2004Original Wrappers. 8vo. 38 pages. 20 cm. First edition. No. 11 in the David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs series. Presented March 17, 2004. In the decade and a half following the end of World War II, that global conflagration which brought about the death of one-third of the Jewish people and the destruction of much of European Jewish communal life, American Jewry found many times, places, and modes of expression to articulate its intense reactions to that calamity. While historians may find it difficult, if not nearly impossible, to recreate the ways in which individual Jews talked about this catastrophic event in their homes or how they incorporated direct references and analogies to it into the discourse of their private spheres of everyday life, Jewish institutions synagogues, schools, summer camps, publishing houses, magazines and newspapers left an easily recoverable paper trail that reveals a community that felt itself obliged to remember and commemorate. These formal institutions of American Jewish life, spanning a spectrum of ideologies and political positions vis-à-vis the concerns of the day, wove the details of the catastrophe into their rhetorical repertoires and used references to it to shape their political projects.
