1946Original Wraps. 12mo. 16 pages. 18 cm. First edition. Critical pamphlet contemporary to the Nuremberg Trials on their historic significance, with a summary of their content and purpose, and a critique; argues that the atrocities committed in Poland against the Polish population (7 million murdered) has been slighted in their exposure in favor of atrocities committed on the soil of the USSR and its satellites. The author gives numerous examples of specific atrocities committed in Poland which should have been included in the trial proceedings, lambasts the trial for not mentioning the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto; ends with the argument that 'totalitarianism' was not utilized as a category in the trial proceedings as this would immediately point to the continuing existence of other totalitarian states, namely, the USSR.

2008Publishers Boards. 8vo. 118pages. 24cm. First edition. Using modern social theory, David Brenner examines how German-Jewish identity was influenced by the production and consumption of popular culture. Part of the Routledge Jewish Studies Series. David A. Brenner examines how Jews in Central Europe developed one of the first ethnic or minority cultures in modernity. Not exclusively German or Jewish, the experiences of German-speaking Jewry in the decades prior to the Third Reich and the Holocaust were also negotiated in encounters with popular culture, particularly the novel, the drama and mass media. Despite recent scholarship, the misconception persists that Jewish Germans were bent on assimilation. Although subject to compulsion, they did not become solely German, much less European. Yet their behavior and values were by no means exclusively Jewish, as the Nazis or other anti-Semites would have it. Rather, the German Jews achieved a peculiar synthesis between 1890 and 1933, developing a culture that was not only middle-class but also ethnic. In particular, they reinvented Judaic traditions by way of a hybridized culture. Based on research in German, Israeli and American archives, German-Jewish Popular Culture before the Holocaust addresses many of the genres in which a specifically German-Jewish identity was performed, from the Yiddish theatre and Zionist humour all the way to sensationalist memoirs and Kafkas own kitsch. This middle-class ethnic identity encompassed and went beyond religious confession and identity politics. In focusing principally on German-Jewish popular culture, this groundbreaking book introduces the beginnings of ethnicity as we know it and live it today.
