1935Original Wrappers. 8vo. [11] pages. 18 cm. First edition. Back cover contains contribution form for submission to British bank N. M. Rothschild & Sons. Report describing the allocation of £176, 000 collected by the Central British Fund for German Jewry during 1934 for use in relief and refugee assistance. Central British Fund (CBF) , now known as World Jewish Relief, the principal British refugee relief agency, established in May 1933 as the Central British Fund for German Jewry, for emergency relief to persecuted persons following the Nazi rise to power. The CBF formed the Jewish Refugees Committee (JRC) as its case-working body and financed its activities. The purpose of this Committee was to assist Jewish refugees from Central Europe in the United Kingdom. The CBF also aided settlement in Palestine, and facilitated various emigration schemes. The CBF assumed a blanket guarantee vis-à-vis the British government that the refugees from Nazi oppression would not become a burden on public funds. When the number of refugees from Germany and Austria reached 60, 000 at the outbreak of World War II, the British government agreed to subsidize the work of the JRC.

1995Original Wrappers. 8vo. Vi, 49 pages. 22 cm. First edition. Six color graphs describing survey data relating to public opinion and knowledge about the Holocaust. An essay by James Young concerning popular opinion and knowledge of the Holocaust based on the findings of a series of surveys by The American Jewish Committee starting in 1992 and continuing after the publication of this essay. The topics contained within the survey questions include Holocaust literature, specific Holocaust history and Holocaust Memorial sites. James E. Young is Professor of English and Judaic Studies, and Chair, Judaic Studies Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, ushmm.org) Young's scholarly work focuses on historical memory and memorialization, and in particular the aesthetics and politics of Holocaust memorials, on which he is a recognized authority. Young's insight that the motives of memory are never pure informs his examination of the ways in which contemporary political commitments and exigencies shape what is remembered and how it is memorialized, and how a memorial may become part of a reductive political mythology. He proposes that the countermonument a work of art that interrogates and undermines intended, official meaning is the best guarantor that viewers will experience a more genuine sense of historical memory not entirely mediated by a heroic or redemptive national narrative.

Using survey data and research sourced from previous studies, Maass constructs a comprehensive description of motivations leading to name changes for immigrants to the United States and the individual and cultural impacts of these changes. The name changers acted in the belief that a new cognomen would enhance their adjustment. Their actions showed that in their image of America and their role in the new country there existed certain tensions, difficulties, conflicts and also hopes of overcoming them.

1941Original Wrappers. 12 mo. 15 pages. 19 cm. First edition. Holocaust-era detailed summary of the anti-fascist activities of the Jewish Peoples Committee. Demanding a forceful and militant approach to anti-fascist organizing worldwide, the Jewish Peoples Committee goes as far as accusing organizations, such as the American Jewish Congress and American Jewish Committee of passively allowing and ignoring antisemitic threats. The concise and polemical essay ends with a rousing call to DESTROY ANTI-SEMITISM! ABOLISH DISCRIMINATION! DEFEND DEMOCRACY AND PEACE!

1945Staple bound leaves. 4to. 4 pages. 28 cm. First edition. No. 56, Dated April 6, 1945. Topics include UN and governmental decisions regarding Palestine, the death of former British Prime Minister Lloyd George, Russian and South African Jewish representatives to the Conference, and upcoming radio program related to the Conference. The American Jewish Conference [was a] representative American organization established in 1943 at the initiative of B'nai B'rith to deal with the problems of Palestine and the European Holocaust. Originally composed of representatives of all major Jewish groups and delegates from local Jewish communities, the Conference was given direction from Zionist bodies which sought a pro-Zionist declaration by a body representing American Jewry as a whole. Such a declaration was overwhelmingly adopted at its New York assembly in August 1943. As a result, the American Jewish Committee seceded from the Conference. Nevertheless, the organization submitted a series of pro-Zionist statements to official national and international bodies and waged a public relations campaign until its dissolution in 1949.

I am not interested in revising the postwar portrait so much as exploring its dynamics. I also want to examine how it happened that after a devastating world war in which Jews sustained many times more deaths than Americans, American Jews emerged with the resilience and optimism to press their specifically Jewish claims upon the world.

2000Original Wrappers. 8vo. 19 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Russian. Title translates as, Foreign Jews in the Trostenets Death Camp. E. G. Joffe is a leading historian regarding the Holocaust in Belarus. He has written thoroughly on the subject and among other titles is a board member of the national historic Society and Foundation in Trostenets. Maly Trotenests was a village in Eastern Bellrussia located 7.5 miles east of Minsk; camp and site of mass murder of Jews. About 200, 000 people were murdered in the Trostenets area. About 65, 000 were killed in Maly Trostenets, including over 30, 000 from the last major action in Minsk. Between July 28--31, 1942 and on October 21, 1943 the last Jews from Minsk were murdered and buried in Maly Trostenets and Bolshoi Trostenets. During 1942, Jews from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia were brought by train to be killed in Maly Trostenets. Most of the victims were lined up in front of large pits and shot. Tractors then flattened the pits out. The prisoners in the camp were forced to sort through the victims' possessions and maintain the camp. They occasionally underwent selections (see also Selktion) . This happened more frequently during 1943. In the fall of 1943 the Nazis began to destroy all evidence of mass murder by burning bodies. Soviet Prisoners of war were forced to rake through the ashes looking for gold. As the Soviet army approached in June 1944, the Germans killed most of the remaining prisoners. On June 30 the Germans completely destroyed the camp. When the Soviets arrived on July 3, they found a few Jews who had escaped. (yadvashem.org) Subjects: Jews, German -- Belarus.
