Quarto cloth backed wraps 93 pp illustrated including photoplates. Very good. Worldcat locates 9 copies in institutions. In Polish: a geological and archaeological study of Colima Mexico including studies of its terrain and volcanic possibilities. Extremely uncommon publication from the Polish refugee colony at Santa Rosa near Leon in Guanajuato Mexico. Thousands of Polish refugees were first sent off to Soviet gulags and from there were placed in mainly British commonwealth countries including Iran and India although some ended up in Israel. The United States in trying to forge an alliance with Stalin declined to make room for Polish refugees although some indeed did end up on the west coast where they were put into Japanese internment camps. But the Mexican ambassador to Britain Alfonso Rozenzweig Diaz an admirer of the Polish General Sikorski who had pleaded with Roosevelt for assistance offered to put up a community of Poles in Santa Rosa Guanajuato where he made a "hacienda" available schools and school supplies which were supplemented by Polish-American organizations in the States. When the war ended in 1945 the President of Mexico made the Poles remaining at Santa Rosa welcome to either apply for permanent residency or to leave to Poland which was then under Soviet control and therefore almost as unwelcoming as it was under the Germans. Only a handful who had family back in Poland chose to return. Most others ended up in the United States but some who had married or established businesses stayed on in Guanajuato. Most of the Poles who ended up in Santa Rosa were at the end of a 2-year 20000km journey filled with much hardship.

réf. 3730742Pittsburg Pa.: The No-Tobacco Army 1923. First edition. 184pp. One illus. Sm. 8vo. Publisher’s cloth. Brief binding wear; light creases to front endpaper; some thumbed pages; Good. Uncommon title with the goal of stamping out tobacco use by explaining its deleterious effects on health “poison of nerve cells” being but one as well as on spirit “evidence of spiritual loss”. The reader is instructed by the “The No-Tobacco Army” on how to become and activist and steps to take to oppose tobacco. The power of the church as a unified front to oppose tobacco companies is also a theme. Much of the book’s scientific and medical “evidence” to demonstrate tobacco’s ill-effects are now known to be wrong but a number of the author’s points e.g. peer pressure to use tobacco would be used today.

On the condition of Jews in Poland both historical and contemporary. Includes discussion of the Holocaust defense of Poland from charges of anti-Semitism and resistance organizations. “On the eve of the Second World War Poland was home to over three million Jews making it the second-largest community in the world. Warsaw the capital had a population of over 300000 Jews more than 30% of the population of the city—and a larger Jewish community than in most European countries. Around 85% of Polish Jewry was annihilated during the Holocaust. After the war many survivors refused to return to or remain in Poland which was marked by civil war and anti-Semitic violence. Since the end of Communism the small Jewish community in Poland has been able to reassert its identity and begin the process of rebuilding. Most of the country's Jews live in Warsaw but smaller communities also exist in Kraków Wroclaw Lodz Katowice Szczecin Gdansk and several other cities.” World Jewish Congress SUBJECTS: Jews -- Poland.

The Seven maps all present are: - Map 1 Single Sided: Hitlerowskie obozy na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945. “Nazi camps in Poland in the years 1939 - 1945”.

Maps 2A & 2B have been described as a “Terrifying pair of maps showing the locations of German POW and internment camps in Poland during World War II highlighting the widespread locations of these establishments. In some parts of the map the information becomes so dense that three inset maps are shown. This map was designed by Jan Laskowski and printed in 1979 as part of a work on the Nazi extermination machine produced by PWN Warsaw a state-owned research-focused publishing house in Poland. The map on the front is particularly interesting for its depiction of symbols used to classify internees in German camps. The uppermost of these depictions shows the combinations that can be made for different types of prisoners of different levels of importance. The armbands that would have been worn by these prisoners is shown as well as the prison uniforms. Other details are also shown. The map lists hundreds of sites run by Nazi operators throughout the country. These include concentration camps death camps transitional camps and ghettos. The map is divided according to Poland's voivodeships with a key in the lower left. Names of cities too long to spell are also provided in the lower left. This map was produced during a point in Poland's history during which it was actively revisiting the period during the Second World War. Leading social scientists devoted their time to trying to gather all the living as well as the recorded history of the events of the Holocaust and related atrocities before this information vanished. Leading these efforts particularly during the 1960s and 1970s was the Glówna Komisja Scigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu known as the Chief Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. They were active in publishing maps both for domestic educational purposes and for international remembrance and diplomatic efforts regarding the Holocaust. Jan Laskowski was a leading cartographer who produced a number of maps in this field. These maps were produced as part of a series of maps that purported to combine to form an atlas of all of Hitler's crimes in Poland. Many of the large wall maps produced during this period could only show a fraction of the crimes or only the atrocities committed in one region. Thus a series of maps was needed to show all the points necessary which this present work contributes to. Polish Reinterpretations of the Holocaust: Studying the effects of German occupation in Poland is a delicate subject. While it is certain that Poland suffered at least as badly as any other European nation during the Second World War reinterpretations of the Holocaust in the country have also been used to satisfy nationalistic tendencies. It has become evident to Western observers in the last several years that there is a strong nationalist movement in Poland that seeks to place blame for the Holocaust solely on the shoulders of non-Polish actors a movement originally fostered under Soviet rule. This movement has gone so far as to limit freedom of speech criminalizing with a three-year sentence the suggestion that Poland or its citizens in any form participated in the murders committed by Nazis. As such the term ‘Polish concentration camps’ has been deemed unacceptable with the government-approved term being ‘concentration camps on Polish territory.’ All lines of evidence show that this map 2A & 2B was produced using the most accurate and impartial historical sources. The language on the map is simple naming only ‘Hitler's Atrocities’ and there is no evidence of a clear anti-German bias. However it is impossible to separate this map one of the most important productions of the remembrance movement during this period from the social situation in which it was produced. Maps like these can easily be converted into propaganda instruments and today's Polish leaders most of whom grew up during Soviet occupation will have formed their understanding of the Holocaust through maps like these. Soviet Censorship: While the content of the map appears to have been produced free from bias the map still had to go through Soviet censorship. Mentioning prisoner of war camps in which primarily Soviet troops were interned would have been a prerequisite condition upon which the publication of the map rested. Further the lack of mention of any Soviet killings or camps requires no explanation….The map unlike many later maps makes no differentiation between the populations who suffered at the various camps. This represents the Soviet agenda that all nations suffered fought and won equally which sought to limit divisions in this post-identity state” Ruderman 2022.
