19331st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 31 pages. An american rabbi's eerily prescient 1933 report from very early in the Nazi period in Germany. Isserman, the author, was the Rabbi of Temple Israel, St. Louis, Missouri. He was born in Antwerp, and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1906. He was ordained by Hebrew Union College and served the rabbinate in St. Louis for many decades. He participated in many civic and Jewish causes and visited Nazi Germany three times (1933, 1935 and 1937) - the first visit of which prompted the present document, in which he states there is no hope for the Jews of Germany - the government aim is their human extirpation (p. 3). 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.

19551st edition. Original stiff wrappers with 2 staples. 8vo, 13 leaves. Typescript mimeograph. The Attorney-General of the Government of Israel v. Malchiel Gruenwald, commonly known as the Kastner trial, was a libel case in Jerusalem, Israel. 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).

19411st edition. Original Boards in dust jacket. 8vo. [4], 104 pages. 19 cm. Fold out map by Kaufman titled, Map Showing Possible Dissection of Germany and Apportionment of Its Territory. This famous polemic outlines a comprehensive plan for the extinction of the German nation and the total eradication from the earth, of all her people. (Back cover) Self-published and at first obscure, this anti-German book became a central strategic piece for infamous Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, who referenced the book throughout World War II claiming it as proof of a Jewish threat to Germany, writing in his diary August 3, [1941], He really could not have done it better and more advantageously for us if he had written the book to order. I will have this book distributed in millions of copies in Germany, above all on the front, and will write a preface and afterword myself. It will be most instructive for every German man and for every German woman to see what would happen to the German people if, as in November 1918, a sign of weakness were given. (Herf, page 112, The Jewish Enemy) However, this mass publication plan never came to fruition, because Goebbels feared copyright problems. The U.S. was still not in the war, and he worried that the U.S. might retaliate by stripping German works in the U.S. of copyright protection. (Bytwerk, 2012) Instead, edited and editorialized selections of the book were published in the widely circulated Nazi pamphlet DAS KRIEGSZIEL DER WELTPLUTOKRATIE alongside claims that Kaufman was a close associate of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a member of his Brain Trust, and that Roosevelt himself had dictated some of Kaufmans words. (Bytwerk, 2012). Theodore Newman Kaufman (1910 -1986; his middle name sometimes given Nathan), was an American Jewish businessman, born to German-Jewish immigrant parents, who became known for his genocidal views on Germans. In 1941, he wrote and published Germany Must Perish! which called for the sterilization of the German people and the distribution of the German lands. The text was used extensively in Nazi propaganda, often as a justification for the persecution of Jews and was specifically cited as a reason to round up the Jews of Hanover, Germany .Kaufman was a radical intent on preventing American involvement in future wars in Europe. In 1939, under the auspices of the American Federation of Peace, an unknown entity of which he was the president and probably only member, Kaufman produced several publications. One pamphlet .read:A possible plea to Congress. ... Have Us All Sterilized! ... If You Plan On Sending Us To A Foreign War ... Spare Us Any Possibility Of Ever Bringing Children Into This World Into This Country Of Ours!It was with his famous fold-out map in Germany Must Perish, that Kaufman Germany and Austria showed how Germany and Austria could be dismembered; In those same pages he also advocated the forced mass-sterilization of all German men under 65 and the sterilization of most German women under 45. This would eliminate 'inbred Germanism,' he proposed, thus solving a great deal of humanity's problems. He also promoted the distribution of Germany's lands among the neighboring countries, illustrated in his famous map in his book. Indeed, His effort was spearheaded by the self-publication of the book Germany Must Perish! 'Since Germans are the perennial disturbers of the world's peace ... they must be dealt with like any homicidal criminals. But it is unnecessary to put the whole German nation to the sword. It is more humane to sterilize them. The army groups, as organized units, would be the easiest and quickest to deal with. ... The population of Germany, excluding conquered and annexed territories, is about 70,000,000, almost equally divided between male and female. To achieve the purpose of German extinction it would be necessary to only sterilize some 48,000,000 -- a figure which excludes, because of their limited power to procreate, males over 60 years of age, and females over 45. ...Complete sterilization of both sexes, and not only one, is to be considered necessary in view of the present German doctrine that so much as one drop of true German blood constitutes a German..... Kaufman's book gained attention in Nazi Germany, where propagandists used it as evidence of an international Jewish plan to destroy the German people. On July 24, 1941, the Nazi Party's newspaper, Völkischer Beobachter, published a front-page article on the book titled: 'The Product of Criminal Jewish Sadism: Roosevelt Demands the Sterilization of the German People.' The newspaper alleged that Kaufman was a close ally of Samuel Irving Rosenman, an advisor to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and that: 'Given the close relationship of the writer to the White House, this monstrous war program can be seen as a synthesis of genuine Talmudic hatred and Roosevelt's views on foreign policy.' At the time, the German leadership was engaged in a propaganda campaign designed to rally popular support for the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Antisemitism in general, and Kaufman's ideas in particular, became a focus of this campaign.Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels read the book in early August and immediately grasped its value, writing in his diary: 'This Jew did a real service for the enemy [German] side. Had he written this book for us, he could not have made it any better.' Under Goebbels' direction, Germany Must Perish! continued to receive significant media attention in Germany. Portions of the book were read on national radio, and Goebbels ordered the printing of five million copies of a pamphlet that summarized Kaufman's ideas.As an example, Kaufman was condemned on the August 1942 edition of the Nazi wall newspaper Parole der Woche [see photo] Nazi propaganda often used Kaufman's pamphlet as a justification for the persecution of Jews. When the Nazis required German Jews to wear a yellow badge on their clothing on September 1, 1941, they published a flyer explaining to the German people that those individuals wearing the star were conspiring to implement Kaufman's plan for the destruction of Germany. When the Jews of Hanover were forced from their homes on September 8, 1941, German authorities cited Kaufman's book as one of the reasons .The Nazi propaganda ministry continued to publish pamphlets, posters and flyers on Kaufman's ideas through the end of the war, and also urged newspapers and public speakers to remind Germans of Kaufman's book. Kaufman's last major appearance in Nazi propaganda occurred in late 1944, when a five-page section on him was included in the widely published booklet Never!, which described a number of alleged plots to destroy Germany. Randall Bytwerk, an historian of communications at Calvin College, concluded that '[a] German at the time could not have missed encountering' propaganda about Kaufman. The Nation Magazine (Nov 14, 1942) noted, Few Americans have ever heard of a prominent fellow-citizen named Kaufmann ... In Germany every child has known of him for a long time. Germans are so well informed about Mr. Kaufmann that the mere mention of his name recalls what he stands for. In one of his recent articles Dr. Goebbels wrote, 'Thanks to the Jew Kaufmann, we Germans know only too well what to expect in case of defeat.' (Wikipedia) "On 1 September 1941 all Jews remaining in Germany were forced to wear the Yellow Star when in public. In late September 1941, the Nazis released a remarkable mass pamphlet based on a book published in the United States titled 'Germany Must Perish!' The book proposed the partitioning of Germany and the sterilization of its population. The author, Theodore N. Kaufman, was an American Jew of no influence. The pamphlet, titled 'The War Aim of World Plutocracy,' [see photo] included excerpts from Kaufmans book. In early November 1941, this four-page flyer was released. It justified the Yellow Star by reminding Germans of Kaufmans pamphlet, which supposedly was the common goal of 'World Jewry.' Howard K. Smiths 1942 book Last Train from Berlin (p. 197) states that every German got copies of the pamphlet along with the monthly ration card" (Calvin College German Propaganda Archive, 2022).

1926First edition and 1 of 5000 copies published. Period boards with photographic front cover mounted on front. 4to, 136 pages. Folio. In Russian. Jewish Massacre. 1918-1921. With numerous photographic illustrations. A detailed album highlighting the horrific results of a wave of ferocious pogroms afflicted upon Jewish communities in the Ukraine including Skvira (Skver) , Poltava, Uman, Kiev and Yelizavetgrad during the Civil War years of 1918-21. The text has a distinctly Nationalist element, portraying Jews saved from the attacking native population by the Red Army. The publication was issued by Z. S. Ostrovsky on behalf of the Jewish Committee for Aid to Victims of Pogroms. With well over 200 photos, this work is based on an exhibit of images and documents put together by the Jewish Committee of Victims of Pogroms which was shown in 1923 in Moscow. Its a brutal depiction of the third set of pogroms which swept in Russia from 1918 and 1921 in the wake of the Russian Revolution, much worse than the earlier massacres in the 1880s and then again in 1903-1906. This post-war set of pogroms were led by bands of soldiers from the disintegrating tsarist army. Ostrovsky's work doesnt state the fact that the first pogroms to be accompanied by slaughter of Jews were perpetrated by units of the Red Army which retreated from the Ukraine in the spring of 1918 before the German army. These pogroms took place under the slogan "Strike at the bourgeoisie and the Jews." The Jewish communities of Novgorod-Severski and Glukhov in northern Ukraine were the most severely affected. These pogroms reached their climax in the massacre at Proskurov on Feb. 15, 1919, when 1,700 Jews were done to death within a few hours. On the following day, a further 600 victims fell in the neighboring village of Felshtin (Gvardeiskoye). Those responsible for these pogroms went unpunished, and henceforward the Ukrainian soldiers considered themselves free to spill Jewish blood. The Jews regarded Simon Petlyura, the prime minister of the Ukraine and commander of its forces, as responsible for these pogroms. The general chaos which reigned in the Ukraine in 1919 resulted in the formation of large and small bands of peasants who fought against the Red Army. The Jews in the villages, shtetls, and towns there were constantly terrorized by the peasants, who extorted money and supplies from them or robbed and murdered them. One of the most notorious pogroms carried out by the peasant bands was that in Trostyanets in May 1919, when over 400 people lost their lives. In the fall of 1919, there was a wave of pogroms committed by the counterrevolutionary White Army, under the command of General A.I. Denikin. (credit: Klinebooks). See Z.

1958Portfolio with Paper Dustjacket. 20 black and white sketches and 10 watercolors. With accompanying text by Esther Lurie; introd. Moshe Sharett ; foreword Eugene Kolb, Esther Lurie [1913-1998] was born in Liepaja, Latvia, to a religious Jewish family. From 1931-1934 she learned theatrical set design at the Institut des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels, and afterwards studied drawing at the Académie Royal des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp. In 1934 Lurie migrated to Palestine with most of her family and worked at various artistic activities. In 1939 she travelled to Europe to further her studies. World War II had begun while she was in Lithuania and during the Nazi occupation (1941-44) she was imprisoned in the Kovno ghetto along with the other Jews. As soon as she entered the ghetto, in mid-1941, Lurie began to sketch views of her new world. She has left behind a detailed written testimony of her life and work during World War II. This combination of literary and visual testimony make up a "living witness". Lurie drew everywhere in the ghetto, including the various workshops. Including a pottery workshop. During her visits there, Lurie got the idea of asking theJewish potters to prepare a number of jars for her. She would use these to conceal her art works if the situation worsened. After the deportation of 26 October 1943, in which 3,000 ghetto inmates were removed to forced labor camps in Estonia, Lurie hid her artcollection, approximately 200 drawings and watercolors, in the large jars she had prepared in advance. In July 1944, as the Red Army approached Lithuania, the ghetto was liquidated and those remaining were transferred to concentration camps and forced labor camps in Germany. The ghetto was set on fire and the buildings were blown up and burnt to prevent those hiding from escaping. Esther Lurie was sentto Stutthof concentration camp, leaving her hidden works behind. After the war some of her drawings were recovered, surviving with the Ältestenrat's archive. Avraham Tory succeeded in rescuing 11 sketches and watercolors and 20 of the photographs of her works. During the Eichmann trial, which took place in Jerusalem in 1961, Lurie's SecondWorld War works were exhibited as part of the testimony - giving an "official authorization" from Israel's Supreme Court to the rich documentary value of her sketches and watercolors. This is in addition to their aesthetic value as objects of art. SUBJECT(S): World War, 1939-1945 -- Pictorial works.
