19931st edition. Original blue cloth boards. 4to. 182 pages; 24 cm. Includes tables. Walter Zwi Bacharach is Professor Emeritus of General History at Bar-Ilan University. He was born in Hanau, Germany in 1928. In 1938, he escaped with his family to Holland, where they were captured in 1942. He was sent to Westerbork transit camp, then to the Theresienstadt ghetto, and to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. He survived a death march and was liberated by U. S. Forces. He immigrated to Palestine in 1946 (Yadvashem.org 2017) . I immediately asked myself what had caused the deviation in the course of German history which had caused us so much suffering? What was the nature of that protracted process which had dragged millions, and me among them, into a world permeated with bottomless hatred of Jews? My curiosity was born out of stunned horror, it sought the answer to my own personal existence, which I perceived as a kind of rebirth.

In November and December 1941 the Riga Ghetto became crowded and to make room for the imminent arrival of German Jews, who were being shipped out of the country, all the remaining 30, 000 Jews in Riga were taken from the ghetto to the nearby Rumbula Forest and shot (Wikipedia, 2016) .

Published with Tolerance is Not Enough, reprinted from The Pilot on May 26, 1945, which gave a glowing review of Bishop Richard Cushings speech. This is the first published speech given by Richard Cushing after he became Archbishop of Boston in 1944. He served as Archbishop of Boston from 1944 to 1970, and was created a cardinal in 1958. Cushing's main role was as fundraiser and builder of new churches, schools, and institutions. He was on good terms with practically the entire Boston elite, as he softened the traditional confrontation between the Catholic Irish and the Protestant upper-class. Cushing built useful relationships with Jews, Protestants, and institutions outside the usual Catholic community. He helped presidential candidate John F. Kennedy deflect fears of papal interference in American government if a Catholic became president. Cushing's high energy level allowed him to meet with many people all day, often giving lengthy speeches at night.

19341st Edition. Original Wrappers. 8vo. [4] pages ; 23 cm. Early Nazi-era speech damning Hitler, given at the New York scholarly institution which, under the leadership of the author, would come to be most associated with refugee scholars. Charles Austin Beard (1874 1948) was, with Frederick Jackson Turner, one of the most influential American historians of the first half of the 20th century. For a while he was a history professor at Columbia University but his influence came from hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. His works included a radical re-evaluation of the founding fathers of the United States, who he believed were motivated more by economics than by philosophical principles. Beard's most influential book, An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States (1913) , has been the subject of great controversy ever since its publication. (Wikiepdia, 2017) He was married to Mary Ritter Beard, widely influential historian, archivist, and activist, who played a critical role in the womens suffrage movement. This is his historic speech criticizing Hitler, in the year Hitler assumed power, at the New School in New York City: The history of the past four hundred years is in large measure the history to wrest from arbitrary and irresponsible power the weapons of tyranny.

19401st Separate Edition. 6 X 13 Inches : Text Front and Back, accompanied by a photo of Gruen. Reprinted from The American Hebrew, November 1, 1940. By the 1930s, significantly-sized Jewish communities had grown up around farming towns like Farmingdale, New Jersey. The farmers built synagogues and community centers, held religious services, and celebrated Jewish holidays together. During the Depression, they raised money to help those in need, and during the years of World War II, they collected money, knitted, and sent care packages to Jews overseas. They also absorbed some of the Displaced Persons who arrived in the U. S. And were willing to work on farms. Indeed, some of these D. P. S even established their own farms, with the help of the Jewish Agricultural Society. Oscar Gruen was himself a recently arrived European refugee and was the Associate Publisher and Editor of the American Hebrew at the time of this articles publication. Gruen (1890-1953) was also the founding editor of the first Jewish news bureau, the Juedische Pressezentrale, which published a weekly edition in Zurich from 1917 to 1940.

In 1919, Grün was a member of the committee which, under the leadership of Louis Marshall, presented the Jewish case to the Paris Peace Conference and secured the inclusion of the "minority rights clause" in the various constitutions of the newly established states in Central Europe.
