THE JEWISH DP PROBLEM: ITS ORIGIN SCOPE AND LIQUIDATION

1951réf. 41424New York: Institute of Jewish Affairs World Jewish Congress 1951. 1st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo 43 pages. “No single phenomenon of the postwar period except the struggle for the Jewish Homeland and its miraculous survival in the face of Arab intransigence has proven at once so tragic and so inspiring as that of the more than two hundred thousand Jews from various countries who at one time or another sojourned in camps and towns in Germany Austria and Italy while waiting for new homes and a new life in freedom. For years the two letters ‘DP’ figured prominently on the pages of Jewish publications were a daily topic of conversation the concern of Jewish philanthropy and the preoccupation of all major Jewish organizations the world over. It is for these reasons that the Institute of Jewish Affairs decided to relate the story of the Jewish DPs in the present study…. The purpose of this brochure is to summarize the unique experience in Jewish history which the DPs represented and to give a brief account of what their problem was like and how and by what means it was solved. The full story of the Jewish DPs of course has yet to be written.” from foreword. SUBJECTS: Jewish refugees. Jews -- Europe. World War 1939-1945. OCLC: 21664940. Very Good Condition.

ZEH SEFER MISHNAT HASIDIM

1740réf. 42573Amsterdam: No Publisher Listed 1740. Hardback. 2nd edition. Period Vellum binding 12mo 132 leaves; 17 cm. In Hebrew. Mayer Sulzberger's copy with his bookplate. Like the Mishnah Mishnat Hasidim is arranged in "Sedarim" which are divided into "massechtot" and subdivided into "perakim." With an introduction entitled: Olam Katan. Includes index. Title-page has ornamental border. Raphael Immanuel ben Abraham Hai Ricchi 1688-1743 was an "Italian rabbi cabalist and poet.After having studied Talmud under Nathan Pinkerle rabbi of Alessandria della Paglia Ricchi became tutor in the houses of several wealthy Jews. He was thus successively employed at Göritz Fiorenzuola Finale in Modena and Venice; in the last-named place he opened a school. He then went to Triest where he was ordained rabbi in 1717 by Hillel Ashkenazi rabbi of Canea after which he was invited to the rabbinate of Görz. Owing to his great love for cabalistic studies and to his ascetic tendencies Ricchi resolved to settle in Palestine. He arrived at Safed in 1718 and during his stay there of two years he occupied himself with the study of the works of Isaac Luria and Hayyim Vital. He was also reordained rabbi by Hayim Abulafia. In 1720 an epidemic broke out in Palestine and Ricchi was compelled to return to Europe. On the voyage he and all his fellow passengers were captured by pirates and brought to Tripolitza whence through the efforts of Abraham Halfon Ricchi and his family were allowed to return to Italy. He then occupied the rabbinate of Florence till 1723 in which year he removed to Leghorn where for twelve years he engaged in business as a merchant. He spent twenty months in travel visiting Smyrna Salonica Constantinople Amsterdam and London and in 1735 set out for Palestine spending two years at Aleppo and three at Jerusalem. In 1741 he returned to Leghorn and in 1743 while traveling in Italy for the purpose of selling his works he was killed by robbers who buried his body by the shore of the Reno. Six days later some Modena Jews discovered the remains and brought them to Cento for burial. Ricchi's most important work is the above-cited 'Mishnat Hasidim' a cabalistic work begun in 1726 at Leghorn. Like the Mishnah it is arranged in orders 'sedarim' which are divided into treatises 'massektot' and subdivided into chapters 'peraim' the names of the six Mishnah orders being taken in a cabalistic sense. But the chief divisions of the work are three termed 'mafteot' besides the introduction entitled ''Olam Kaon' = 'microcosmos' in which Ricchi endeavors to popularize the Cabala. The first main division is the 'Maftea ha-'Olamot' in which the worlds are treated. It contains: 1 the order of Zera'im treating of the cabalistic cosmology and of metaphysics and divided into seven massektot and eighteen chapters; 2 the order Kodashim treating of the realm of emanation 'olam ha-azilut' which is styled 'the holy of holies' and containing twenty massektot and seventy-eight chapters; 3 the order ohorot treating of the three other realms namely those of creative ideas 'beri'ah' creative formations 'yezirah' and creative matter 'asiyah' and divided into nine massektot and twenty-seven chapters; and 4 the order Nezikin treating of the demons and 'kelifot' and divided into six massektot and seventeen chapters. The second main division entitled 'Maftea ha-Neshamot' contains the order Nashim treating of souls in twelve massektot and forty-eight chapters. The third main division entitled 'Mafteah ha-Kawwanot' contains the order Mo'ed divided into fifty-eight massektot and 371 chapters and treating of the Kawwanah. It will be seen that the number of massektot in this work is 112 corresponding to the numerical value of the sacred name ; and the number of chapters 547 equal to the numerical value of Ricchi's name plus twelve the number of its letters. The sources for this work besides the Zohar are mostly Isaac Luria's and Hayyim Vital's writings of which the 'Sefer ha-Gilgulim' 'Kanfe Yonah' and 'Shulhan 'Aruk' may be particularly mentioned. Ricchi drew also from other cabalists" M. Seligsohn in JE 1905. NYU houses their copy in the Mitchell M. Kaplan Collection of Rare Judaica and Hebraica. Aviva Ben-Ur's Ladino catalog list #14.

1864 Campaign Blames McClellan’s Failures on Lincoln Comparing the President’s Treatment of McClellan and Grant

1864réf. 24901.02"with the same determination to divide the country unless they can secure universal abolition we are exposed to the same dangers every day and God only knows in what unlucky hour our ruin may be consummated. Compare his policy with McClellan's expression of readiness to receive any State when its people offer to submit to the Union." This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet quotes an April 1864 letter to argue that Lincoln gave Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant free rein to conduct the war after having interfered with and micromanaged McClellan's Peninsula Campaign in 1862. The publication also declared that Republicans were stained with "The Taint of Disunion" and quoted from Republican speeches and editorials to insist that the Democrats were the party of "UNION AND PEACE." ABRAHAM LINCOLN.Printed Document. Democrat Campaign "Document No. 12" with headings "Lincoln's Treatment of Gen. Grant" "Mr. Lincoln's Treatment of Gen. McClellan" and "The Taint of Disunion." New York 1864. 8 pp. 5¾ x 8â… in. Excerpts: Lincoln to Grant April 30 1864 "I wish to express in this way my entire satisfaction with what you have done up to this time so far as I understand it. The particulars of your plans I neither know nor seek to know. You are vigilant and self-reliant; and pleased with this I wish not to obtrude any restrains or constraints upon you while I am very anxious that any real disaster or capture of our men in great numbers be avoided." p1/c1 "Such in brief are some of the most notable instances in which Mr. Lincoln interfered with General McClellan when he occupied a position similar to that held by General Grant. They reflect so severely upon the President that no attempt to gloss them over by his apparent subsequent repentance can disabuse the patriotic portion of the nation of the matured conviction that he is to be held responsible for the lack of decisive victories in Eastern Virginia. The blame must and will rest upon him to whom it belongs." p5/c2 "Having shown by copious extracts from the speeches of Abraham Lincoln W. H. Seward Wendell Phillips Wm. Lloyd Garrison and from the editorial writings of the Chicago Tribune and the N. Y. Tribune… that they were all original secessionists and disunion men we propose now to give the evidence that Mr. Lincoln himself has within the last three months been concerned in a movement to make peace with Jeff. Davis on terms involving the direct proposal to divide the Union and let the South go." p7/c2-p8/c1 "with the same determination to divide the country unless they can secure universal abolition we are exposed to the same dangers every day and God only knows in what unlucky hour our ruin may be consummated. Mark how Mr. Lincoln constantly keeps up the idea of negotiating only with Jefferson Davis. Why does he never address himself to the people or the States of the South. Compare his policy with McClellan's expression of readiness to receive any State when its people offer to submit to the Union." p8/c2 Historical Background The 1864 presidential election pitted President Lincoln against his Democratic challenger General George B. McClellan. Although McClellan had been the commander of the Army of the Potomac and general-in-chief of the Union Army the Peace platform adopted by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago declared the war a failure. The party was bitterly divided between War Democrats who favored continuing the war to restore the Union while leaving slavery alone; moderate Peace Democrats who favored an armistice and a negotiated peace that would likely protect slavery in a reconstructed union and radical Peace Democrats who favored an immediate end to the war without securing Union victory. McClellan was a War Democrat but the platform was written by radical Peace Democrat Clement Vallandigham and Peace Democrat George H. Pendleton was nominated for vice president. In 1864 Republicans created the National Union Party to attract War Democrats Unconditional Unionists and Unionist Party members who would not vote for the Republican Party though most state Republican parties did not change their name. President Abraham Lincoln won the nomination of the "National Union Party" at its Baltimore convention and won re-election with new running mate War Democrat Andrew Johnson. Although Lincoln was convinced by August 1864 that he would not be reelected General William T. Sherman's capture of Atlanta in early September and General Philip Sheridan's successes in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia from August to October ensured his victory. Without the participation of the seceded states Lincoln and Johnson won 55 percent of the popular vote and an overwhelming 212-to-21 victory in the Electoral College. McClellan and Pendleton carried only Kentucky Delaware and McClellan's home state of New Jersey.

Civil War and Emancipation History Abraham Lincoln Carte de Visite with Patriotic and Freedmen Imagery

réf. 11015Lazier. Abraham Lincoln carte de visite undated combines a portrait of the sixteenth president with patriotic imagery and a scene identified as showing freed slaves placing Lincoln's likeness within the visual culture of Union nationalism and emancipation. Such imagery connected the president directly to the political and social consequences of the Civil War including the destruction of slavery and the emergence of freedom as a central theme in popular commemorative material. Carte de visite by Lazier of Syracuse New York with photographer's back imprint. Approximately 2.5 x 4 inches. The mount presents Lincoln together with patriotic scenes and an additional vignette depicting freed slaves. The combination of presidential portraiture and emancipation imagery gives the card a more explicitly political character than a conventional studio portrait linking Lincoln's public image to Union victory and the end of slavery. Lincoln's image circulated extensively in cartes de visite during and after the Civil War becoming part of a broader culture of political remembrance following his assassination in 1865. The inclusion of African American subjects identified as freed slaves places this example within the visual record of how emancipation was represented to contemporary audiences through inexpensive photographic and printed formats. In excellent condition. unknown

Illustrator Frank Leslie Publishes Fanciful Grand Reception of Civil War Notables as a Subscription Premium

1865réf. 25618Frank Leslie published this print as a premium for his new family magazine Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner and copyrighted it on April 8 1865 just a week before Lincoln's death. The image created by engraver Henry B. Major and lithographer Joseph Knapp portrays Lincoln flanked by the First Lady and Vice President Andrew Johnson greeting Julia Dent Grant wife of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant who stands nearby. According to a notice printed at the bottom right corner "Every Person who pays Ten Cents each for numbers 1 and 2 of Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner The New Family Paper is entitled to a copy of this PLATE without extra charge" or individuals could purchase the print for $3. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.Lithograph. "Grand Reception of the Notabilities of the Nation at the White House 1865" New York: Frank Leslie April 1865. 1 p. 19 x 23¾ in. In the first issue of The Chimney Corner Leslie described the "Grand Reception" image as "the most costly gift plate ever presented by any publisher in the United States having been produced at an expense of $10000." "Every family should possess this truly national picture and carefully preserve it" Leslie continued "as it will transmit to future generations the men who have restored our great national unity. It is especially valuable as it contains an excellent likeness of our late lamented President introducing General Grant and his wife to Mrs. Lincoln." The picture contains "nearly 100 portraits of our most celebrated Generals Statesmen and Civilians also of many of our most distinguished American ladies. The likenesses are admirable having been taken from photographs by Brady." The key giving the names of each individual portrait was published in issue number 4 of the Chimney Corner on June 24. Included in the image are Generals Ulysses S. Grant John G. Foster William T. Sherman Hugh J. Kilpatrick Nathaniel P. Banks Philip H. Sheridan Winfield S. Hancock John A. Logan Joseph Hooker Benjamin F. Butler Oliver O. Howard John A. Dix and Henry W. Slocum. Admirals David Farragut and David Dixon Porter represent the Navy.

Anthony of Rhode Island Senator William P. Fessenden of Maine Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts and Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax of Indiana. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase represents the U.S. Supreme Court. New York newspaper editors Horace Greeley Henry J. Raymond and James Gordon Bennett are also present. Prominent women include First Lady Mary Lincoln Ann S. Stephens dime novelist and magazine editor Miriam Folline Squier wife of Leslie's former editor-in-chief and Leslie's future wife Julia Dent Grant wife of Ulysses S. Grant Kate Chase Sprague daughter of Chief Justice and wife of Rhode Island Senator and Adele Cutts Douglas widow of Stephen A. Douglas. Others identified in the key include Ephraim G. Squier Leslie's former editor-in-chief archaeologist and U.S. commissioner to Peru Governor Andrew G. Curtin of Pennsylvania and Ambassador to Russia Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky.

Published by John Smith in Philadelphia in 1865 and hand-colored "Lincoln's Last Reception" also included more than thirty military and political leaders and a few prominent women among the onlookers in the ballroom. Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner 1865-1884 was a weekly family newspaper published "every Tuesday" in New York by Frank Leslie. Each illustrated issue of sixteen pages contained serial fiction short stories poetry biographies history travel sketches natural history anecdotes and other subjects. According to the prospectus the newspaper would be "a welcome messenger of instruction and amusement to the young and old in the family and by the fireside—that altar around which cluster our holiest and most cherished recollections." Leslie had copyrighted the title in 1861 but "the great Rebellion now happily closing intervened to put a stop to the enterprise." Frank Leslie 1821-1880 was born in England as Henry Carter but he adopted the pseudonym of Frank Leslie to keep his artistic activities a secret from his relatives who disapproved. He came to the United States in 1848 and settled in New York in 1853 to engrave woodcuts for P. T. Barnum's Illustrated News. When that publication failed Leslie began work on his own series of illustrated publications including Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper The Budget of Fun Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner and others. At his death he was deeply in debt but his second wife Miriam Folline Squier 1836-1914 continued his publications and again made them profitable even legally changing her name to Frank Leslie in 1881. Condition Spot-mounted to modern board mat toning moderate foxing minor edge wear. Would benefit from conservation. Frank Leslie

In Memoriam.

1865réf. 153154New York: Trent Filmer & Co. n.d. 1865. First edition of this uncommon memorial tribute issued in the wake of Abraham Lincoln's assassination gathering his most celebrated words each page printed within a heavy black mourning border. Octavo original printed wrappers on coated stock twelve leaves printed on the rectos only reprinting his farewell speech to his Springfield friends on setting out for Washington the Gettysburg Address the Emancipation Proclamation the Second Inaugural Address and a poem he was said to cherish among other texts. In very good condition with light rubbing soiling and toning. From the collection of the Lincoln collector and author Harry J. Lytle with a small translucent slip bearing typed text signed and dated 1927 by Lytle tipped to the title page. Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre on April 14 1865 and died the following morning the first American president to be assassinated. His death coming only days after Lee's surrender at Appomattox plunged the North into an outpouring of grief and publishers hurried to issue memorial books broadsides and pamphlets honoring the fallen president. Printed within black mourning borders tributes such as this one preserved the speeches and proclamations that had already come to define his presidency from the Emancipation Proclamation which declared the enslaved people of the rebelling states forever free to the Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural with its closing plea for "malice toward none" and "charity for all." Such ephemeral memorial printings were little valued at the time and survive today in small numbers. Trent, Filmer & Co. unknown

Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism - Stirring Fear of Interracial Marriage Before 1864 Presidential Election

1864réf. 25614The second in a series of four racist political cartoons published in 1864 by Bromley & Company which was closely affiliated with the Copperhead New York World newspaper. These prints sought to undermine Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection by branding him as a "miscegenationist" and playing on white fears of "race-mixing." The cartoon scene pictures several interracial couples enjoying a day at the park eating ice cream discussing wedding plans and a woman's upcoming lecture. Two African American families have white employees a carriage driver and footmen and a babysitter. The only other example traced at auction brought $7800 in 2010. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. RACISM.Print. "Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism." Political Cartoon. New York: Bromley & Co. 1864. 1 p. 20¾ x 13â… in. American politics had long played on fears of sexual relationships between races. A powerful new word for "race-mixing" was coined in an anonymous December 1863 pamphlet entitled Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races Applied to the American White Man and Negro published in New York. Purporting to advocate the virtues of the "blending of the white and black races on this continent" it was a literary forgery prepared by The World managing editor David Goodman Croly and reporter George Wakeman. The authors were unsuccessful in their attempt to trick President Lincoln into endorsing the work. At the far left of the image Abraham Lincoln declares "I shall be proud to number among my intimate friends any member of the Squash family especially the little Squashes." The African American woman to whom he is speaking replies "I'se 'quainted wid Missus Linkum I is washed far her 'fore de hebenly Miscegenation times was cum. Dont do nuffin now but gallevant 'round wid de white gem'men! he-ah! he-ah! he-ah!" Senator Charles Sumner says "Mr. President! Allow me the honor of introducing my very dear friend Miss Dinah Arabella Aramintha Squash." A white carriage driver complains in the background "Gla-a-ang there 240t! White driver white footmen niggers inside my heys! I wanted a situation when I took this one" while a black man in the carriage tells his companion "Phillis de_ah dars Sumner. We must not cut him if he is walking." A black woman at a table tells a white man with her "Ah! Horace its-its-its-bully 'specially de cream" and he replies "Ah! my dear Miss Snowball we have at last reached our political and social Paradise. Isn't it extatic" To the right are two couples embracing each a white woman and an African American man. The first white women tells her partner "Oh! You dear creature. I am so agitated! Go and ask Pa" to which he replies "Lubly Julia Anna name de day when Brodder Beecher shall make us one!" The second white woman says "Adolphus now you'll be sure to come to my lecture to morrow night won't you" to which he answers "I'll be there Honey on de front seat sure!" In the background are various immigrant minorities viewing the scene. One exclaims "Most hextwadinary! Aw neva witnessed the like in all me life if I did dem me!" and another adds "Mine Got vat a guntry vat a beebles!" An Irish girl complains "And is it to drag nagur babies that I left old Ireland Bad luck to me." Manton Marble the editor of The World collaborated with printmaker Bromley & Company to issue a series of four anti-Lincoln "Political Caricatures." The present example was the No. 2 in that series. No. 1 was "The Grave of the Union or Major Jack Downing's Dream"; No. 3 "The Abolition Catastrophe Or the November Smash-up"; and No. 4 "The Miscegenation Ball." Republicans responded by trying to turn the "miscegenation" charge against the Democrats. A Republican print "The Political "Siamese" Twins: The Offspring of Chicago Miscegenation" pictures McClellan and Pendleton joined together despite their very different ideas on ending the war. Although Abraham Lincoln won New York states' electoral votes in 1860 Stephen Douglas had carried New York City and its environs. Financial elites fearing that civil war would ruin business and recent immigrants fearing competition with free black labor supported Douglas. Lincoln's unpopularity in New York City during the Civil War was a factor in the deadly 1863 Draft Riots. In 1864 Lincoln again won the states' electoral votes while New York City favored his Democratic opponent McClellan. In fact Lincoln's majority dropped from 50136 votes in 1860 to only 7373 votes in 1864 with approximately 50000 more total votes cast than in 1860. Bromley and Company continued to sell the caricatures after the election as this January 1865 advertisement from an Ohio newspaper makes clear. Another advertisement assured purchasers that the set of four prints available for $1 were "sent on wooden rollers to insure safe carriage." The World 1860-1931 a daily independent newspaper was published in New York City. Alexander Cummings founded it as a religious Republican outlet in 1860. August Belmont and others purchased it in 1862 changing the editorial focus. With editor Manton Marble 1834-1917 The World soon became the country's leading Democratic newspaper. In 1864 Union authorities shut down The Worldand another paper for three days after they published forged documents purportedly written by Lincoln that were really part of a hoax to manipulate the price of gold. The paper actively supported George B. McClellan against Lincoln in 1864. Condition Fine for exhibit despite flaws. Cropped with loss of "Political Caricature No. 2" from top edge and part of printed pricing information from bottom edge publisher's name rubbed out from the copyright statement lacking ½" from lower left corners a few short tape repairs by the edges a 2" closed tear through the second dialogue bubble along the top edge and a 3" closed tear parallel to the right edge. Mount remnants on verso.
