rif. 87013Paris Le Matin est le premier journal à reparaître à Paris, le 17 juin 1940, sous la direction collaborationniste de Maurice Bunau-Varilla qui le mit à la disposition des occupants allemands, surtout par anticommunisme et par admiration pour Hitler. "Le Matin, un des plus importants journaux français de la première moitié du XXe siècle, est à la fois le premier quotidien « à l'américaine » lancé en France (en 1884) et le premier titre à reparaître sous l'Occupation. Ce journal, tiré à plus d'un million et demi d'exemplaires au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, devait révolutionner la presse française en important les méthodes du journalisme américain. Dès le départ dirigé par un affairiste sans scrupules, il devint cependant très rapidement une feuille de chantage et un organe corrompu largement discrédité. Entre campagnes de chantage et coups de bluff, grandes fêtes patriotiques et opérations philanthropiques, Le Matin se distingue de ses concurrents par son caractère outrancier et son arrogance, particulièrement après son rachat en 1903 par le légendaire Maurice Bunau-Varilla, qui dirigea le journal pendant plus de quarante ans. Propriétaire d'un grand quotidien populaire qui connaît son « âge d'or » dans les années 1900-1910, celui qu'on surnomme l' « Empereur du Matin », et dont la vénalité n'a d'égale que la mégalomanie, fait trembler députés, ministres et chefs d'État. Mais, dans l'entre-deux-guerres, l'équilibre qui avait fait le succès et la puissance du Matin est progressivement rompu. Le quotidien vire à l'extrême droite et Bunau-Varilla, plus préoccupé par ses lubies (dont la production du Synthol) que par la modernisation de son journal, précipite le déclin commercial du titre en le radicalisant. Champion du rapprochement franco-allemand dans les années trente, il met aussitôt son journal au service de l'occupant en 1940, ce qui vaut au Matin, symbole de la « presse pourrie », d'être aussitôt interdit de parution à la Libération, avant de tomber dans un certain oubli."

Facts on Nazi Germany 1936 anti-Nazi report documenting early concentration camp discipline and political repression under the Third Reich issued to mobilize American awareness during a period of widespread isolationist sentiment in the United States. Produced three years before the outbreak of World War II the document records one of the earliest organized efforts by an American advocacy group to circulate evidence of Nazi violence specifically targeting the treatment of political prisoners in the initial concentration camp system established after 1933. The report identifies Esterwegen as a site of incarceration for political opponents and includes translated internal regulations that detail punitive discipline forced labor expectations and execution threats directed at prisoners categorized as political dissidents Jews and alleged enemies of the state.

The reprinted German directives emphasize coercion and ideological enforcement stating "Tolerance means weakness.ruthlessness will be exercised when the interests of the Fatherland are at stake." Detailed disciplinary measures include confinement on bread and water corporal punishment and execution for acts such as alleged mutiny or resistance. Specific infractions are enumerated including penalties for writing more than two letters monthly speaking disrespectfully to guards or minor breaches of barracks discipline demonstrating the totalizing regulatory system imposed within the camp.

Advocacy groups such as the Committee on Justice for Victims of Nazism attempted to counter limited press coverage and official reluctance to confront Nazi Germany by distributing translated materials that documented internal repression.

19371st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 4-8 pages each. Conservative Jewish men's group newsletter from the Holocaust period from the the second synagogue founded in New York (1825) and the third-oldest Ashkenazi synagogue in the United States. "The object of the 'Tattler' will be to provide the members with a regular source of information and entertainment....The Pogroms in Russia during the Czarist regime or the activities of the Zionist movement in recent years had no such effect on the consciousness of the average American Jew except to stir a sense of pity and sympathy for the afflicted ones. 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. We of The Men's Club of the Congregation B'nai Jeshurun welcome with open arms all those who are returning to the fold." Most issues include commentary on the increasing oppression of the Jews in Germany; other issues discussed include some current Jewish news, some retelling of Jewish history, congregation news, editorials, fun facts, jokes with lessons.

19271st edition. Original paper wrappers, 16mo (small), 7 pages ; 25 cm (folded to 14 cm in wrappers). "Correspondence between Henry Ford, Louis Marshall and Herman Bernstein. Settlement of Aaron Sapiro's and Herman Bernstein's libel suits" (From the front cover). During the 1920s, Henry Ford gained as much fame for his antisemitic views as for his cars. His newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, published dozens of articles between 1920 and 1925 naming prominent Jewish Americans as conspirators in a plot to overthrow governments all over the world. Though hardly the first of their kind, the accusations in the Dearborn Independent represented the broadest, most sustained published attack on individual Jews and Jews as a group in the nations history. The articles created clear grounds for defamation and libel actions against Ford and the newspaper, and several were filed. In 1927 one lawsuit, Sapiro v. Ford, made it into court, generating international headlines, only to end in mistrial. Ford then disposed of the distasteful affair by signing a statement in which he apologized for the wrongs he had 'unintentionally' done to Jews. Ford's campaign against the Jews, as historians have recognized, reflected the renewed racial tribalism that characterized post-World War I American society (Woeste, Insecure Equality: Louis Marshall, Henry Ford, and the Problem of Defamatory Antisemitism, 1920-1929 in Journal of American History, Dec. 2004). The importance of the end result, here spelled out in this rare period publication, was summarized by Robert Rifkind in his 2008 examination Confronting Antisemitism in America: Louis Marshall and Henry Ford: Putting aside historical revisionism, it becomes clear that the Ford apology achieved a number of things no libel suit could have achieved. First, in broad and unambiguous strokes, Ford repudiated the defamation of Jews in general and not merely the particular claims asserted in the lawsuits. Second, the apology did so with dispatch rather than after further protracted delay. Third, Ford undertook to withdraw The International Jew from circulation both in the United States and abroad, and at least while Marshall remained alive, he seems to have done so. A jury sitting in an action for monetary damages could not have compelled such a result. And finally, a confession, retraction, and apology appearing in Fords name and over Fords signature carried the impressive force of a world-famous mana force that twelve anonymous jurors, easily dismissed as misled by lawyers wiles, could never have had (American Jewish History, Vol. 94, No. 1/2, March/June 2008, pp. 71-90). SUBJECT(S): Antisemitism -- Michigan -- Dearborn. Jews -- Trials (Libel) -- Antise´mitisme -- Juifs -- Proce`s (Diffamation) -- Dearborn independent. OCLC: 264355930.
