Title translates to Toward the historic day of judgment, the Jewish people between curses and redemption Published early in the Holocaust, Ben-Adir argues for the enactment of national introspection and calm rather than territorialism! Ben-Adir (18781942) was writer and Jewish socialist leader, born in Krucha, Belorussia. He was a child prodigy and left for university in Minsk at the age of 16. While there, he was heavily influenced by Jewish socialism. After the First Zionist Congress in 1897, Ben-Adir published an article advocating political Zionism in opposition to the ideology of Ahad Ha-Am. After then Kishinev pogrom of 1903 Ben-Adir published a call for the formation of a Jewish party which would combine the aims of revolutionary socialism with national Jewish aspirations. Ben-Adir was one of the founders and ideologists of the Vozrozhdeniye group, and of its successor of the Sejmists (Jewish Socialist Workers' Party) whose program included Jewish national-political autonomy while envisaging territorial sovereignty as a remote aim. Ben-Adir stayed in Erets Israel between 1925 and 1927 but returned to Berlin, leaving for Paris in 1933. "Algemeyne geshikhtlekhe perspektivn un problemen -- tsentrale yidishe problem."

19361st edition thus. Original Wrappers. 8vo. 15 pages. 23 cm. Nazi-era abridged and condensed version of an article originally published in Fortune magazine, and later published by Random House. This booklet presented by the Editors of Digest and Review. The Jewish Problem has become violently acute in recent years. What is anti-Semitism? How does it start? Does it exist in the United States? Is it true that Jews control industry, business, public opinion? [ ] The Editors of Fortune undertook to make such an impartial survey. Their conclusions, it is safe to say, were totally unexpected both by Jews and non-Jews. The results of this research, appearing originally in Fortune, were later published in book form by Random House. (Publishers Description) In reference to the original appearance of this article in Fortune Isaac Goldberg writes, in his monograph The So-Called Protocols of the Elders of Zion , It proves, once again beyond the slightest doubt, that the Jew despite this prominent person or the other, is not anything like the power in national affairs invented by the Protocol-terrorizers.

19451st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, small 8vo, 50 pages, 21 cm. In Polish. An early (1945!) post-war assortment of eye-witness reportsand documentation of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, 2 years earlier. Table of contents on the last leaf, listing out all 22 essays, some of which are reprinted here for the first time from diaries and newspapers. Also reproduces to flyers honoring the ghetto and a photo of yizkor services to those who perished there. "Between July 22 and September 12, 1942, the German authorities deported or murdered around 300,000 Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. SS and police units deported 265,000 Jews to the Treblinka killing center and 11,580 to forced-labor camps. The Germans and their auxiliaries murdered more than 10,000 Jews in the Warsaw ghetto during the deportation operations. The German authorities granted only 35,000 Jews permission to remain in the ghetto, while more than 20,000 Jews remained in the ghetto in hiding. For the at least 55,000-60,000 Jews remaining in the Warsaw ghetto, deportation seemed inevitable. In response to the deportations, on July 28, 1942, several Jewish underground organizations created an armed self-defense unit known as the Jewish Combat Organization (Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa; ZOB). Rough estimates put the size of the ZOB at its formation at around 200 members. The Revisionist Party (right-wing Zionists known as the Betar) formed another resistance organization, the Jewish Military Union (Zydowski Zwiazek Wojskowy; ZZW). Although initially there was tension between the ZOB and the ZZW, both groups decided to work together to oppose German attempts to destroy the ghetto. At the time of the uprising, the ZOB had about 500 fighters in its ranks and the ZZW had about 250. While efforts to establish contact with the Polish military underground movement (Armia Krajowa, or Home Army) did not succeed during the summer of 1942, the ZOB established contact with the Home Army in October, and obtained a small number of weapons, mostly pistols and explosives, from Home Army contacts. In October 1942, SS chief Heinrich Himmler ordered the liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto and deportation of its able-bodied residents to forced labor camps in the Lublin District of the Generalgouvernement. In accordance with this order, German SS and police units tried to resume mass deportations of Jews from Warsaw on January 18, 1943. A group of Jewish fighters, armed with pistols, infiltrated a column of Jews being forced to the Umschlagplatz (transfer point) and, at a prearranged signal, broke ranks and fought their German escorts. Most of these Jewish fighters died in the battle, but the attack sufficiently disoriented the Germans to allow the Jews arranged in columns at the Umschlagplatz a chance to disperse. After seizing 5,000-6,500 ghetto residents to be deported, the Germans suspended further deportations on January 21. Encouraged by the apparent success of the resistance, which they believed may have halted deportations, members of the ghetto population began to construct subterranean bunkers and shelters in preparation for an uprising should the Germans attempt a final deportation of all remaining Jews in the reduced ghetto. The German forces intended to begin the operation to liquidate the Warsaw ghetto on April 19, 1943, the eve of Passover. When SS and police units entered the ghetto that morning, the streets were deserted. Nearly all of the residents of the ghetto had gone into hiding places or bunkers. The renewal of deportations was the signal for an armed uprising within the ghetto. ZOB commander Mordecai Anielewicz commanded the Jewish fighters in the Warsaw ghetto uprising. Armed with pistols, grenades (many of them homemade), and a few automatic weapons and rifles, the ZOB fighters stunned the Germans and their auxiliaries on the first day of fighting, forcing the German forces to retreat outside the ghetto wall....Though German forces broke the organized military resistance within days of the beginning of the uprising, individuals and small groups hid or fought the Germans for almost a month....The Warsaw ghetto uprising was the largest, symbolically most important Jewish uprising, and the first urban uprising, in German-occupied Europe. The resistance in Warsaw inspired other uprisings in ghettos (e.g., Bialystok and Minsk) and killing centers (Treblinka and Sobibor)" (USHMM 2018).Subjects: Warsaw (Poland) --History--Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, 1943.

But the cruel, heartless persecutions of the Jews in Germany by Hitler and his crew, caused a stirring in the blood of Native Americans of Jewish birth that made them turn about and recall the religion of their fathers and the God of Israel.

18951st edition. Original green paper wrappers, 12mo, 56 pages. Singerman 4882. In his early days in the United States, Isaac Moses "was considered a radical Reformer, but later he took a more moderate position. In 1884 he introduced his own prayer book (Tefillat Yisrael). Moses was a founding member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and a member of the Reform committee charged with compiling an official prayer book. The appearance of the Union Prayer Book in 1894 has been credited to his personal initiative in preparing and circulating a manuscript when the committee's work seemed to be leading nowhere. Moses also published a number of sermons and textbooks for children. His Sabbath School Hymnal, first issued in 1894, ran into 14 editions. While in Milwaukee, he edited the weekly Der Zeitgeist (1880-82). " (encyclopedia.com) In one of these sermons, Rabbi Moses discusses the evils that occurred in Egypt and then goes on to say, "Does not out civilization show the most alarming symptoms of the evils and the diseases of Egypt? We have fought for the emancipation of the negro, but the enslavement of the masses by our modern indutrial system threatens to become a plague worse than ever befell the birth-place of Moses.

This book is told in the first person, in a succession of scenes, impressions, portraits, thoughts, reflections and emotions that, in chapters very brief and titled, make up a devastating panorama about Elinas experience in Auschwitz. (elcultural.com 2018). "When I returned from Auschwitz in 1945, I felt what I had just experienced with such acuteness that it was impossible for me to keep it to myself. I recorded it in notes and drawings. This constituted Without flowers nor Crowns. I do not regret having written these notes as soon as I returned from camp because, over time, memories become distorted, they become watered down or dramatized, but always move away from the truth. (...)" Odette Elina (1910-1991) was a painter, was deported by the Gestapo to Auschwitz-Birkenau in April 1944 as a communist, but above all and above all because she was Jewish. In 1940, she entered the French Resistance network, she had had an initial function to establish the liaison between the writers residing in the South zone (notably Mauriac, Aragon and Julien Benda) before entering the Secret Army in 1942. We actually know very little about the biographical career of Elina before and after her deportation, apart from her exacerbated desire on leaving the Camp to testify to her life in the Camp.

He was ordained by Hebrew Union College and served the rabbinate in St. Louis for many decades.

His stated conclusions are that there is no hope for the Jews of Germany, that atrocities were perpetrated on Jews and other dissenters and will continue to be perpetrated, that an economic death sentence has been passed on the Jews of Germany, that only the fear of public and foreign opinion is preventing a pogrom against all the Jews of Germany, and that the Jews of Germany live under a sentence of death.

Hearings were held from 1 January to October 1954 in the District Court of Jerusalem before Judge Benjamin Halevi (19101996), who published his decision on 22 June 1955.[1]The defendant, Malchiel Gruenwald (18811958), a hotelier who lost 52 relatives in the Auschwitz concentration camp, had accused Rudolf Kastner (19061957), a Hungarian lawyer and journalist who became a civil servant in Israel in 1947, of collaborating with the Nazis in Hungary during the Holocaust. The allegations were made in a self-published newsletter, Letter to Friends in the Mizrachi, in August 1952. The Israeli government sued on Kastner's behalf, calling him as one of 59 witnesses. Gruenwald was represented by Shmuel Tamir, a former Irgun commander, who turned the case into one that examined the actions of the governing Zionist Mapai party during the Holocaust, and what had been done to help Europe's Jews. One of the key issues was whether Kastner, who in Hungary had helped to found the Budapest Aid and Rescue Committee, had in effect collaborated with Adolf Eichmann and Kurt Becher, two SS officers, in his efforts to secure safe passage from Budapest to Switzerland in July 1944 of 1,684 Jews, on what became known as the Kastner train. Gruenwald and Tamir accused Kastner of having failed to warn the Hungarian Jewish community that they were to be loaded onto trains and taken to the gas chambers in Auschwitz, in occupied Poland. They alleged that he had known about the gas chambers since at least the end of April 1944 when he had received a copy of the Vrba-Wetzler report but had neglected to inform the wider community that they were not being deported from Hungary to be resettled, as the Nazis had said. His motive, they said, was to safeguard the release of a smaller number, which included his family and friends. In failing to alert the wider community to the danger, they alleged that he had helped the SS avoid the spread of panic among the Jewish community, which would have slowed down the transports. The judge ruled in Gruenwald's favour, accusing Kastner of having sold his soul to the devil. Kastner was assassinated outside his home in Tel Aviv in March 1957 as a result of the decision and the subsequent publicity. (wikipedia) This booklet is against Kastner and how the Israeli Government handled it. They say, Had the Kastner case taken its natural course, had Kastner been tried on the strength of the prima facie evidence like any other citizen in such circumstances (and in execution of the law specially passed for that purpose) there would, of course be no need for any special public action. But the Government, in defiance of accepted democratic procedure and in disregard of the country, has thrown all its weight on the other side of the scales. This can only mean that there is more behind the Kastner trial than has so far been revealed, and that Kastner is the key to other mysteries that accompanied the greatest catastrophe in our modern history.

19041st edition. Original green printed wrappers, 8vo, 32 pages. Early Zionist plea from the pivotal year of 1904, which saw both Herzls death as well as the first American publication of Herzls The Jewish State. Indeed, by 1904, cultural Zionism was accepted by most Zionists and a schism was beginning to develop between the Zionist movement and Orthodox Judaism. In 1904, Herzl died unexpectedly at the age of 44 and the leadership was taken over by David Wolffsohn, who led the movement until 1911. During this period, the movement was based in Berlin (Germany's Jews were the most assimilated) and made little progress, failing to win support among the Young Turks after the collapse of the Ottoman Regime .Under Herzl's leadership, Zionism relied on Orthodox Jews for religious support, with the main party being the orthodox Mizrachi. However, as the cultural and socialist Zionists increasingly broke with tradition and used language contrary to the outlook of most religious Jewish communities, many orthodox religious organizations began opposing Zionism. Their opposition was based on its secularism and on the grounds that only the Messiah could re-establish Jewish rule in Israel.Therefore, most Orthodox Jews maintained the traditional Jewish belief that while the Land of Israel was given to the ancient Israelites by God, and the right of the Jews to that land was permanent and inalienable, the Messiah must appear before the land could return to Jewish control (Wikipedia. Albert M. Friedenberg (18811942) was an American lawyer and historian. At the age of 19, he joined the American Jewish Historical Society and became one of its leading members; he was largely responsible for the issuance of 17 volumes of the Publications of the American Jewish Historical Society (ajhsp, nos. 1834). Friedenberg wrote numerous papers and articles on the early history of Jews in America, immigration, historical aspects of Zionism, Jews in Masonry, and the Jewish periodical press, and also on local German Jewish history, literature, and biography. He acted as the New York correspondent of the Baltimore Jewish Comment (190210) and the Chicago Reform Advocate (190531), and as contributing editor of the New York Hebrew Standard (190723).
