The camp was controlled by the Germans from 1942 to 1944, during which time several thousand inmates were deported to extermination camps in Poland.

19491st edition. Original photographic paper wrappers, 8vo, 87 pages. Includes many photos and graphs. Cover title is International Refugee Organization, 1948-1949. The International Refugee Organization (IRO) was founded on 20 April 1946, and took over the functions of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, which was shut down in 1947. While the handover was originally planned to take place at the beginning of 1947, it did not occur until July 1947. The International Refugee Organization was a temporary organization of the United Nations (UN) , which itself had been founded in 1945, with a mandate to largely finish the UNRRA's work of repatriating or resettling European refugees. It was dissolved in 1952 after resettling about one million refugees. The definition of a refugee at this time was an individual with either a Nansen passport or a Certificate of identity issued by the International Refugee Organization. The Constitution of the International Refugee Organization, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 15 December 1946, specified the agency's field of operations. Controversially, this defined "persons of German ethnic origin" who had been expelled, or were to be expelled from their countries of birth into the postwar Germany, as individuals who would "not be the concern of the Organization. " This excluded from its purview a group that exceeded in number all the other European displaced persons put together. Also, because of disagreements between the Western allies and the Soviet Union, the IRO only worked in areas controlled by Western armies of occupation (Wikipedia 2016) .

1944First edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 11 pages; 20cm. Holocaust-era speech by Judge Morris Rothenberg, President of the Jewish National Fund of America, about the Jewish immigration achievements since 1882 in Palestine as well as the goals for future purchase and cultivation of land. Sir John Hope-Simpson, Vice-President of the British Refugee Settlement Committee and author of the Hope Simpson Report, had declared in the 1930s that all the all the available land was then already under cultivation and the rest comprised irreclaimable soil. The desperate needs of the Jewish people, the determination and ingenuity of the Yishuv have exploded this expert assertion. The Jewish population of Eretz Israel has more than doubled since that erroneous opinion was uttered and served as the basis for the White Paper of 1931, now lying in the waste basket of history.

1939First separate edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 15 pages; 22.5 cm. The swift and apparently inexorable process of Jewish dispossession in many Central and Eastern European countries makes the early issue of such a Jewish National Loan a possible medium of saving at least a fraction of Jewish property.

A detailed account of the financing issues and potential solutions for infrastructure in Palestine.
