The Foreword notes (translated) that “The first anniversary of the liberation of the Budapest ghetto has arrived. It is time to bring to the world the terrible documents of the tragedy of Judaism and put the still unbelievers who turn their heads into thinking; those who do not believe because they do not want to believe. But not only the persuasion of the doubters is the goal of this attempt, but also of recalling over and over again for those who forget quickly. This is the purpose of this sad picture book, with all the cries, complaints and death blows coming from all sides. These pictures are just dull shadows of reality. ” Subjects: Jews--Persecutions--Hungary--History--20th century. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) --Hungary--Exhibitions. OCLC: 1022126577.

BULETIN FUN BUND. 1947-1948. NRS 1-13 [COMPLETE, NO MORE ISSUED]

1947 — 1st edition. 4to, Original Paper Wrappers, 8 pages each issue, 13 numbers in 12 separate issues, as published. In Yiddish. Title translates as “Bulletin of the Bund.” Complete run of this early post-Holocaust iteration the Bund’s monthly newsletter (also serving “Kindred Jewish Socilaist Organizations”), reflecting the concerns of it’s membership of secular Polish Holocaust survivors as well as pre-war immigrants to the US. Full of interesting articles including: Reports and declarations from the World Bund Conference in Brussels, including declarations on Antisemitism the workers’ movement, etc; The 1947 Socialist conference in Zurich; Bund activity in postwar-Poland, Belgium, Italy, France, Brazil, and Argentina; Jewish Socialists in Rumania; Bund Resolutions on the Camps; German Socialists and the Jewish Question; Professor Hirsh and Palestine; Discussion in the Bun on the Status of Palestine; On the Bundist Youth Movement in Poland; Special Camps; The Bulletin of the Bund [ie this periodical] in the [DP] Camps; “Five Years in the Warsaw Ghetto,’ by Bernard Goldshtein; Bundist Academy in the “Gan Eden” Camp in New York; A Memorial for the ‘Bund’ at the Congress of the French Socialists; etc. “The General Jewish Labour Bund in Lithuania, Poland and Russia (Yiddish: ‘algemeyner yidisher arbeter-bund in lite, poyln un rusland’), generally called The Bund or the Jewish Labour Bund, was a secular Jewish socialist party.... founded in Vilnius on October 7, 1897…..In 1917 the Polish part of the Bund, which dated to the times when Poland was a Russian territory, seceded from the Russian Bund and created a new Polish General Labor Bund which continued to operate in Poland in the years between the two world wars….The Bund sought to unite all Jewish workers in the Russian Empire into a united socialist party, and also to ally itself with the wider Russian social democratic movement to achieve a democratic and socialist Russia. The Russian Empire then included Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine and most of present-day Poland, areas where the majority of the world's Jews then lived. They hoped to see the Jews achieve a legal minority status in Russia. Of all Jewish political parties of the time, the Bund was the most progressive regarding gender equality, with women making up more than one-third of all members. The Bund actively campaigned against anti-Semitism. It defended Jewish civil and cultural rights and rejected assimilation. However, the close promotion of Jewish sectional interests and support for the concept of Jewish national unity (klal yisrael) was prevented by the socialist universalism of the Bund. The Bund avoided any automatic solidarity with Jews of the middle and upper classes and generally rejected political cooperation with Jewish groups that held religious, Zionist or conservative views. Even the anthem of the Bund, known as "the oath" (di shvue in Yiddish), written in 1902 by Sh. An-ski, contained no explicit reference to Jews or Jewish suffering. At the heart of the vision of the future of the Bund was the idea that there is no contradiction between the national aspect on the one hand and the socialist aspect on the other. As a strictly secular organization, the Bund renounced the Holy Land and the sacred language (Hebrew) and chose to speak Yiddish….In its early years the Bund had remarkable success, gaining an estimated 30,000 members in 1903 and an estimated 40,000 supporters in 1906, making it the largest socialist group in the Russian Empire…. the Bund was a founding collective member at the RSDLP's first congress in Minsk in March 1898. For the next 5 years, the Bund was recognized as the sole representative of the Jewish workers in the RSDLP, although many Russian socialists of Jewish descent, especially outside of the Pale of Settlement, joined the RSDLP directly….The Bund generally sided with the party's Menshevik faction led by Julius Martov and against the Bolshevik faction led by Vladimir Lenin during the factional struggles in the run-up to the Russian Revolution of 1917….In the Polish areas of the [Russian] empire, the Bund was a leading force in the 1905 revolution. At that time the organization probably reached the height of its influence. It called for an improvement in living standards, a more democratic political system and the introduction of equal rights for Jews. At least in the early stages of the first Russian Revolution, the armed groups of the "Bund" were likely the strongest revolutionary force in Western Russia. During the following years, the Bund went into a period of decay….The Bund eventually came to strongly oppose Zionism, arguing that emigration to Palestine was a form of escapism. The Bund did not advocate separatism. Instead, it focused on culture, rather than a state or a place, as the glue of Jewish ‘nationalism.’ …. The Bund also promoted the use of Yiddish as a Jewish national language and to some extent opposed the Zionist project of reviving Hebrew. The Bund won converts mainly among Jewish artisans and workers, but also among the growing Jewish intelligentsia. It led a trade union movement of its own. It joined with the Poalei Zion (Labour Zionists) and other groups to form self-defense organisations to protect Jewish communities against pogroms and government troops. During the Russian Revolution of 1905 the Bund headed the revolutionary movement in the Jewish towns, particularly in Belarus and Ukraine…..In 1921, the Communist Bund [in the USSR] dissolved itself and its members sought admission to the Communist Party....Many former Bundists, like Mikhail Liber and David Petrovsky, perished during Stalin's purges in the 1930s. The Polish Bundists continued their activities until 1948. During the latter half of the 20th century the Bundist legacy was represented through the International Jewish Labor Bund, a federation of local Bundist groups around the world….Among the exiled Bundists who went on with Socialist politics in America was Baruch Charney Vladeck (1886–1938), elected to the New York Board of Aldermen as a Socialist in 1917…[and] 1937 [and] manager of The Jewish Daily Forward…Moishe Lewis (1888–1950)....the father of David Lewis (1909–1981), a leader of the New Democratic Party in Canada….David Dubinsky (1892–1982), though never formally a member of the party, had joined the bakers' union, which was controlled by the Bund, and was elected assistant secretary within the union by 1906…..He later became a member of the Socialist Party of America, helped found the American Labor Party in 1936 and was from 1932 till 1966 the leader of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union…..under the name Max Goldfarb, David Petrovsky (1886–1937) was a member of the Central Committee of the Jewish Socialist Federation of America, a member of the Socialist Party of America, and the labor editor of The Forward” (Wikipedia).

Il soldato di M. Domenico Mora, bolognese (gentilhuomo grisone, & cavalliere Academico Storditi: nel quale si tratta di tutto quello, che ad un vero soldato, & nobil cavalliere si conviene sapere, & esercitare nel mestiere dell'arme).

In Venetia, per Giovan. Griffio, 1569, in-4, pergamena coeva con residui di laccetti, pp. 254. Piatti semi-staccati, qualche mancanza, sciolte le prime carte, con difetti minori. Iniziali, diagrammi di formazioni di battaglia e 12 figure xilografiche nel testo. Una nota coeva (formula apotropaica a difesa del volume?) manoscritta in inchiostro al piatto anteriore. Nonostante all'esemplare manchino l'intera segnatura a8 (contenente frontespizio, dedicatorie al duca di Parma Ottavio Farnese e al nobiluomo Marc' Antonio Fiubbi, Accademico Stordito come l'autore) e le carte 2E2 e 2I4 (c. bianca) siamo riusciti a stabilire tramite impronta che si tratta della rara 1a edizione di quest'opera apparsa in 3 versioni: questa, stampata nel 1569 da Griffio; quella del 1570, che a partire dall'invenduto acquistato da Giolito di Ferrarij, ristampa con dedicatoria invariata al Farnese ma con 2a prefazione indirizzata al marchese Malaspina, a cura di Tommaso Porcacchi; infine una 3a formata da alcune copie di questa edizione che apparirono anche con marca dell'editore Vincenzo Valgrisio. Assai rara perchè quasi tutte le copie sopravvissute riportano il frontespizio del Giolitti. Il bolognese Mora (c. 1536-1610?), che vantava origini nobiliari nel Cantone dei Grigioni, fu scrittore di militaria (la sua 1a opera, del 1567 è dedicata a Cosimo de' Medici), ma sopratutto uomo d'armi al servizio di Stefan Batory e Sigismund III Vasa; fervente cattolico, considerò suo dovere di militare la difesa della fede cristiana contro l'eresia protestante e contro Turchi e Tatari.

The city limits cover 517.24 199.71 sq. mi. while the metropolitan area covers 2355.39 sq. mi. Warsaw is a major international tourist destination and a significant cultural political and economic hub. Its historical Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city rose to prominence in the late 16th century. The elegant architecture grandeur and extensive boulevards earned Warsaw the nickname Paris of the North. The city was largely destroyed by the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 the general Warsaw Uprising in 1944 and the systematic razing by the Germans in advance of the Vistula-Oder Offensive. Warsaw gained the new title of Phoenix City because of its reconstruction after the war. Lech Aleksander Kaczy ski 18 June 1949 - 10 April 2010 was a Polish lawyer and politician who served as the Mayor of Warsaw from 2002 until 2005 and as the President of Poland from 2005 until his death in 2010. Before his tenure as president he previously served as President of the Supreme Audit Office from 1992 to 1995 and later Minister of Justice and Public Prosecutor General in Jerzy Buzek's cabinet from 2000 until July 2001. Born in Warsaw he starred in a 1962 Polish film The Two Who Stole the Moon with his identical twin brother Jaros aw. Kaczy ski was a graduate of law and administration of Warsaw University. In 1980 he was awarded his Ph.D. by Gda sk University. In 1990 he completed his requirements in labor and employment law. He later assumed professorial positions at Gda sk University and Cardinal Stefan Wyszy ski University in Warsaw. During the communist period Kaczy ski was an activist in the pro-democratic anti-communist movement in Poland the Workers' Defence Committee as well as the Independent Trade Union movement. In August 1980 he became an adviser to the Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee in the Gda sk Shipyard and the Solidarity movement. After the communists imposed martial law in December 1981 he was interned as an "anti-socialist element". After his release he returned to trade union activities becoming a member of the underground Solidarity. When Solidarity was legalized again in the late 1980s Kaczy ski was an active adviser to Lech Wa sa and his Solidarity Citizens' Committee in 1988. From February to April 1989 he participated in the Polish Round Table Talks along with his brother. After Solidarity's victory in the 1989 Polish legislative election Kaczy ski became a senator and vice-chairman of the movement. Then in the 1991 Polish parliamentary election he was elected into the Sejm as a non-party member. He was also the main adviser and supporter of Lech Wa sa when the latter was elected President of Poland in December 1990.

His brother was succeeded as prime minister by his former presidential rival Donald Tusk. On 10 April 2010 he was killed along with his wife in the crash of a Polish Air Force jet that occurred on a landing attempt at Smolensk North Airport in Russia.

W Walce O Wolnosc / In Fight For Freedom / In Lotta Per La Libertà + three original Polish WW2 pictures, including a photograph of Marshal Jozef Pilsudski signed by himself

1945 · réf. 517 — This is a set which belonged to Janusz Gluchowski, a high-ranking Polish military officer at the time of the WW2. The set contains three original B&W pictures. First one: undated postcard showing Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, signed by himself in black ink, 8.5 x 13.5 cm, with two embossed mentions above and below. Second picture: undated postcard showing Poland President Gabriel Narutowicz, with a written mention on the back. Third picture: 11 x 15.5 cm photograph. General Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski inspecting a British Cromwell tank, accompanied by Polish officers of the 3rd Armored Regiment (3 puk pancerny). The image was captured during an official ceremony in the city of Kelso, Scotland, in the immediate post-war period, on June 15, 1945. The scene shows the General in an observation position, climbing onto the tank while surrounded by Polish soldiers. The tank corresponds to a British model widely used by Polish forces in exile during the Western European campaign. On the reverse, the following handwritten inscriptions appear: VI 1945, Kelso. N. Wódz gen. Bór-Komorowski dokonuje inspekcji 3 p. panc. N. Wódz w towarzystwie bryg. puku na czogu." / June 15, 1945, Kelso The book is an illustrated three-languages (Polish, English and Italian) set commemorating the struggles of the Polish II Corps. Edited by Wyda Rererat [Referat] Kultury i Prasy Kresowej Dywizji Piechoty in Rome, 1945. Oblong book of 21 x 19 cm, unpaginated (144 pp.). Cover detached. Endpapers and first page show Janusz Gluchowski's stamp. In publisher's photographically illustrated wrappers. Each page contains a photographic image or a photomontage accompanied with a short text in three languages. Front cover shows some wear and tear, the binding is a bit loose - we would advise having this book bound. The Polish II Corps was a major tactical and operational unit recruited from Polish deportees in the Soviet Gulags in 1943. First they fought in the Middle East, and in 1944 February they were transferred to Italy and as independent part of the British Army to fight in the Italian campaign, in the battles of Monte Cassino and Ancona and also the Battle of Bologna during the final offensive in Italy in 1945. The book goes through the story of Poland and the later established Polish II Corps, starting with the German and Soviet occupation in 1939. It shows the deportation of Poles to forced labour to the Gulag and, after the Polish-Russian Military Agreement in 1941, the establishment of the Polish Army on Soviet soil, also their military training and their fights in various battles. Janusz Julian Gluchowski was a Major General in the Polish Army during the Second Polish Republic. He was born on August 6, 1888, in Bukowa. He fought in the Polish Legions in World War I, the Polish-Ukrainian War, the Polish-Soviet War, and the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, Slovakia, and the Soviet Union in 1939, which culminated in the start of World War II. In his adolescence, he attended high school in Czstochowa. In 1905, he became a member of the Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party and was wounded in the hand during an attack near Czstochowa. To avoid arrest by the Russian authorities, he left for Belgium, where he studied at the University of Liège. He returned to divided Poland around 1910 and settled in Austrian Galicia. In 1912 he graduated from the Officers' School of the Riflemen's Association in Stroza, near Krakow. In the early hours of August 1914, he commanded a platoon in Oleandria and was Wadysaw Belina-Pramowski's representative during the legendary attack of the so-called Seven Lancers of Belina (Uaska siódemka). On August 6th, together with the First Cadre Company, he left Krakow and marched to Miechów. In October 1914 he was promoted to Lieutenant (Poruchik) and, in November 1916, to Rittmeister (Cavalry Master). Until 1917 he served in the First Uhlan Regiment of the Polish Legions. After the Oath Crisis (Kryzys przysigowy) he was interned first in Fort Beniaminów and later in Werl. Released in October 1918, he went to Lublin, where, in early November, he formed the Third Ulan Regiment (later renamed the Seventh Ulan Regiment of Lublin). Along with his unit, he fought in the Polish-Soviet War. On May 29, 1920, he was promoted to Polkovnik. He was transferred in July 1920 to Eastern Galicia, taking command of the First Cavalry Brigade, fighting against the Soviets in Galicia and Volhynia. After the war, he remained in this position until 1925, when he was transferred to the Fourth Cavalry Brigade. Promoted to Brigadier General on March 16, 1927. Appointed commander of the Center for Higher Military Studies on June 4, 1930, and three years later, after the death of General Stanislaw Tessaro, he was appointed commander of Military District X in Przemyl. In October 1935, he became Deputy Minister of Military Affairs. In the early days of the 1939 invasion of Poland, Gluchowski ordered General Walerian Czuma to prepare the defense of Warsaw. In mid-September 1939, he fled to Romania. After his escape, he managed to travel to the Middle East and, in January 1941, received orders to go to London. In October 1941, he was appointed Commander of the Training Brigade stationed in Scotland. On September 23, 1943, he was appointed commander of all Polish Army units stationed in Great Britain, except the First Independent Parachute Brigade, which remained under the authority of the Commander-in-Chief. He was promoted to Major General on June 1, 1945. He decided not to return to Soviet-occupied Poland and remained in Great Britain. He frequently criticized the Soviet regime and the Soviet occupation authorities in postwar Poland. Furthermore, he was one of the founders and president of the Jozef Pilsudski Institute in London. He was, therefore, an active member of the Polish community in Great Britain. He was president and honorary member of several Polish veterans' organizations. He died on June 11, 1964, in London, England.

La sua opera maggiore è l'"Historia naturalis curiosa regni Poloniae, magni ducatus Lituaniae annexarunque provinciarum" edita nel 1721, che, nonostante sia, in buona parte, una raccolta di descrizioni da varie fonti, costituisce una delle maggiori opere di storia naturale polacche del XVIII secolo. Morì nel 1737 a Danzica. Nel volume da noi presentato segnaliamo il secondo titolo che affronta argomenti intorno alla convivialità e alla gastronomia.

réf. 16-5052 — LuneÌville: Chez Claude-François Messuy 1761 and 1762. Folio. 24.5 x 40.2 cm. Contemporary calf with gilt spine; covers rubbed. 6-188-2-136-XII-2pp. The "compte général" lacks the plan de Nancy and 3 plates of ferronnerie.Cohen 250; OCLC Number: 939437546: While in exile in Lorraine between 1737 and 1766 the Polish King Stanislaw I was granted the title of Duke of Lorraine and Bar and used his position to endow a number of buildings and monuments in Nancy where he had his seat. The designs for the new buildings which included orphanages schools hospitals churches libraries and a new Hote de Ville for Nancy were drawn up by Emmanuel HeÌreÌ who published many of them in his Recueil des plans elevations et coupes tant geometrales qu'en perspective des chateaux jardins et dependances que le Roy de Pologne occupe en Lorraine . 2 vols Paris 1750-1752. In 1753 a supplementary volume was published as Plans et elevations de la Place Royale de Nancy . Paris; q.v. in the Supplement. While HeÌreÌ drew up the plans and oversaw the building work the administration and finances of the King's building programme were overseen by Nicolas LeÌopold Michel 'Controlleur de la Maison du Roi' see page 1 of part 2. The second part of the present work is explicitly said to be a public statement of the accounts kept by Michel. The first part has also been attributed to Michel by Quèrard Rau and France-Lanord see below and by most library catalogues see the Avery Cat. Berlin Kat. and the BM. Gen. Cat although UCBA attributes both parts to HeÌreÌ. Although no firm evidence has been advanced for Michel's authorship of the first part of the text it is highly likely that he was involved. The text describes the buildings not in architectural terms but by detailing their planning and approval by official bodies the specifications for their construction the contracts and estimates drawn up and the administration of the actual building work. In many cases the specifications given to HeÌreÌ and to others are reprinted in full. Thus the first volume is to some extent a collection of official documents relating to the buildings edited together for public presentation and it can be presumed that many of the texts were drawn up under Michel's supervision. It could also be argued that primary responsibility for this part of the work lay with the King himself who had ordered and defined the limits of the works; indeed he is referred to as the 'Auteur' on page 8 of the 'Discourse PreÌliminaire' although this use of the word is more of a homage to Stanislaw's patronage than an actual statement of responsibility for the text. The 'Discourse PreÌliminaire' lavishes much praise on the King for his generosity and public spirit and notes that 'notre Ouvrage est un nouveau preÌsent que le Roi fait à ses Peuples' p.5. The King paid for the publication which is also described as 'donneÌ lieu à un suppleÌment' presumably supplementing HeÌreÌ's own very different work describing the buildings. HeÌreÌ's book contains 63 large-scale engraved plates and was no doubt expensive and the present publication may have been seen at least in part as a way of producing a rather cheaper and more generally accessible advertisement for Stanislaw's good works. For further details of the buildings involved see Julia Rau Emmanuel HeÌreÌ: premier Architecte von Stanislas Leszczynski in Lothringen 1705-1763 Berlin: Mann 1973; and Albert France-Lanord Emmanuel HeÌreÌ: architecte du roi Stanislas Nancy: Presses Universitaires de Nancy 1984. Both of these books reproduce many of the etched illustrations from the present work. Rau attributes both parts to Michel in a note on page 36 but in her bibliography describes them quite wrongly as the second edition of HeÌreÌ's Recueil p.303. In France-Lanord's bibliography both parts are attributed to Michel although they are listed both separately and together.

Viaggi di Moscovia de gli anni 1633, 1634, 1635 e 1636 libri tre cavati dal tedesco... (SEGUE): Relatione di Moscovia...

1658 — In 8, cm 18 x 24,5, pp. (4) + 222 + (2) con 5 ( su 6) tavole fuori testo incise all'acquaforte e un'insegna incisa posta all'ultima carta (Diversa per aequora). Manca gran parte della pianta di Mosca. Brunitura uniforme alle tavole. Piena pergamena coeva. Rara edizione italiana di questa traduzione tratta dai Viaggi di Moscovia di Adam Olschlager stampata nel 1646 e edizione originale della Relatione del Barberini, scritta nel 1565 e mai pubblicata. Olearius venne inviato nel 1633 da Federico III Duca di Hoeltein in Russia e in persia, al fine di stringere rapporti commerciali con questi paesi e contiene la descrizione dei paesi attraversati durante il viaggio, descrive la Livonia, Riga, Vvolmar, Dorp, Narva, Caporio, Notemburg, Novogordia ecc. Ampia descrizione di usi e costumi russi, delle udienze pubbliche con le quali furono ricevuti, i ricevimenti degli ambasciatori turchi e tartari ecc. La relazione del Barberini, poi, si presenta sotto forma di lettera al Conte di Nubarola il quale narra della Russia e dei paesi attraversati durante il viaggio. Importante testimonianza del rinato interesse per la Russia di questo periodo ribadito nell'Avvertimento al lettore, nel quale si danno delucidazioni sul paese e note relative all'etimologia di alcune parole. La relazione del Barberini risale al viaggio fatto da questi nel 1564 al fine di vendere allo Zar Ivan il terribile, il brevetto per l'estrazione del sale.

réf. 3728825 — Poland c.1920s. 21ff. Album. 9½ x 13 inches. Beige cloth with colorful woven onlay; cord-bound. 23 captioned photographs mounted on black cardstock rectos approx. 4¾ x 8¾ inches tissue guards. Brief wear to head and tail of spine and corners; very good. Made by the Workers’ Society of Friends of Children in Warsaw and given to their Chicago branch this 1920s photograph album illustrates the strong link between Poles living in Warsaw and Chicago reflecting the wider story of the Polish diaspora at that time. The album documents that Polish immigrants in Chicago supported social projects back in Poland highlighting the cross-continental connections among Polish communities. The Workers’ Society of Friends of Children was established in 1919 to provide childcare and education centers for workers’ children and the children of the unemployed. The outreach included kindergartens schools summer camps meals and medical care. The album’s photographs show children’s homes and tents kindergarten-age children playing with blocks playtime camp scenes communal meals calisthenics sports clubs and a view of children on a beach along the Vistula River. Places seen include Warsaw the Helena Dłuska Children’s Home in Helenów Broszków Brok and Brest. The album is autographed inside by Tomasz Arciszewski 1877–1955 and Dr. Aleksander Landy 1881–1969 the Society’s founders in Poland. Arciszewski served as founding chairman of The Workers’ Society of Friends of Children Robotnicze Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Dzieci RTPD and along with Landy was an active member of the Polish Socialist Party PPS. Arciszewski served in the Socialist party and became Poland’s 31st Prime Minister. The album’s first image shows children at a Warsaw “Children’s Home” featuring Bolesław Limanowski 1835–1935 PPS co-founder among them. Clear evidence of how Polish immigrants in Chicago supported and engaged with social efforts back in Poland showing the strong international connections among Polish communities worldwide. unknown
