18831st Edition. Original Paper Wrappers bound inside Period Boards. 8vo. [2] , 29 pages ; 23 cm. In French. Very important period anti-racist imprint. Title Translates into English as, Judaism as a Race and a Religion; From the Conference At The Circle Of Saint-Simon, On 27 January 1883. Joseph Ernest Renan (1823 1892) was a French expert of Semitic languages and civilizations (philology) , philosopher, historian, and writer, devoted to his native province of Brittany. He is best known for his influential historical works on early Christianity, and his political theories, especially concerning nationalism and national identity. Renan is credited as being among the first scholars to advance the Khazar theory, which held that Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of Turkic peoples who had adopted Jewish religion and migrated to Western Europe following the collapse of their khanate . In his 1883 lecture Le Judaïsme comme race et comme Religion he disputed the concept that Jewish people constitute a unified racial entity in a biological sense, which made his views unpalatable within racial antisemitism. Renan was also known for being a strong critic of German ethnic nationalism, with its antisemitic undertones. (Wikipedia, 2016) A very clean first edition copy of Renans 1883 lecture. SUBJECT(S) : Judaism. Jewish Institutional Bookplate and Usual Markings. A few markings throughout. Overall little wear and in very good+ condition. (FR-2-18)

1982Offprint. Original paper wrappers. 8vo. Pages 187-196 (ie. 10 pages) ; 24 cm. Includes additional title page in Hebrew. Abraham J. Peck, born in a DP camp in Landsberg, Germany, is a prolific Holocaust scholar, professor, and former advisor to Elie Wiesel. A brief history of the study of DP camps and of the lives of Holocaust survivors after the war. Precious little scholarly attention has been given to these areas. The reasons for such a state of affairs are numerous, ranging from the previous general inattention paid to the Holocaust (a phenomenon now corrected perhaps to excess) , to the problem, especially in America, of linguistic competency among graduate students and even accomplished scholars, to the very real problem of artificial periodization in which the twin pillars of Holocaust and Redemption allow little room for self-standing research areas between them. Interestingly, there appears to be a typo in this offprint. Division B of the Eighth World Congress of Jewish Studies was The History of the Jewish People. Division A was The Period of the Bible. Given the pagination and subject, this was likely part of Division B. SUBJECT(S) : DP Camps, Holocaust, Jewish studies. One stain that does not affect text. Slight toning. Very minimal edgewear.

For years he was haunted by memories of the time he had spent suspended between life and death, by visions which would not let him sleep.

Cover shows a miserable prisoner flanked by ball & chains of swastika and hammer & sickle, behind whom hover Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and front and center The Pope. "Jehovah's Witnesses were subjected to intense persecution under the Nazi regime. The Nazis targeted Jehovah's Witnesses because they were unwilling to accept the authority of the state, because of their international connections, and because they were strongly opposed to both war on behalf of a temporal authority and organized government in matters of conscience. Within months of the Nazi takeover, regional governments, primarily those of Bavaria and Prussia, initiated aggressive steps against Jehovah's Witnesses, breaking up their meetings, ransacking and then occupying their local offices. By April 1, 1935, the Reich and Prussian Minister of the Interior ordered the responsible local officials to dissolve the Watchtower Society. Many actions of Jehovah's Witnesses antagonized Nazi authorities. While Witnesses contended that they were apolitical and that their actions were not anti-Nazi, their unwillingness to give the Nazi salute, to join party organizations or to let their children join the Hitler Youth, their refusal to participate in the so-called elections or plebiscites, and their unwillingness to adorn their homes with Nazi flags made them suspect. A special unit of the Gestapo compiled a registry of all persons believed to be Jehovah's Witnesses. Gestapo agents infiltrated Bible study meetings" (USHMM 2016) No copies listed in OCLC. Evenly- toned newsprint, Very Good Condition. Holocaust-related Jehovah's Witnesses material is rare, this imprint especially so. (HOLO2-134-61) xx

1939First edition. Original paper wrappers. 4to. 7 pages; 35.5 cm. A Holocaust-era stapled mimeograph report. Includes tables of criminal rates. A consideration of the facts showing the low degree of criminality among Jews leaves no room for the anti-Jewish agitators claim.

The American Jewish Congress is an association of Jewish Americans organized to defend Jewish interests at home and abroad through public policy advocacy, using diplomacy, legislation, and the courts. The American Jewish Congress was founded in 1918, and represented a populist counterbalance to the American Jewish Committee, which was dominated by the wealthy and conservative German-Jewish establishment. Leaders within the American Jewish community, consisting of Jewish, Zionist, and immigrant community organizations, convened the first American Jewish Congress (AJCongress) in Philadelphias historic Independence Hall. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Felix Frankfurter, U. S.
