19431st Edition. Original 7 1/2 X 9 1/2 Inch Wartime Photograph of Members of the Jewish Progressive Club in Atlanta. "The Jewish Progressive Club was established in 1913 by Russian Jews who felt unwelcome at the Standard Club that had been founded by German Jews in 1867. Its organizers set up a holding company with a capitalization of $25, 000 to invest in real estate. In 1916, they constructed on Pryor Street a clubhouse which included a hall for dances, a billiard room, and a swimming pool. It was one of the only clubs in America to express its Jewishness openly. The Jewish Progressive Club was less exclusive than the Standard Club, and also more affordable. Since membership dues were a mere three dollars per month, it was quite popular with the "Russian" Jews, who were welcomed as members. In comparison, the Standard Club a fifty dollar initiation fee and annual dues of forty two dollars. By 1924, the Jewish Progressive Clubs membership surpassed 500, and the building had to be expanded [Shankman, . 'Atlanta Jewry, 1900-1930.' American Jewish Archives Journal.

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. Grün began the Pressezentrale in the wake of World War I in order to counteract what he saw as international agitation against Jews. 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. As editor of one of the worlds leading Jewish periodicals, Grün witnessed firsthand many of the most important Jewish-related events of the time, including the 20th Zionist Congress (1937) and the Evian Conference (1938) .

1906Original blue publisher's boards, 12mo; 1240 pages; Singerman lists the translation (#67) , quoting Norman Cohn: "[The] Bible of the whole voelkisch-racist movement" Singerman calls this book "Of the utmost importance for its influence on Adolf Hitler [and, by the way, Alfred Rosenberg]" Singerman continues (citing Cohn) : "Here all history was presented as a bitter struggle between spirituality, embodied in the German 'race, ' and materialism, embodied in the Jewish 'race'--the only two pure races for all the others were but 'chaos of peoples. ' In Chamberlain's view the Jewish 'race' had been relentlessly striving, down the ages, to secure absolute dominion over all other nations. If once [sic] this 'race' were decisively defeated, the Germanic 'race' would be free to realize its own divinely appointed destiny--which was to create a new, radiant world, transfused with a noble spirituality and mysteriously combining modern technology and science with the rural, hierarchical culture of earlier times. " The author was also the husband of Richard Wagner's daughter. A very important book.
