Young and old women and men were driven into gas and death chambers and destroyed. In the current hour the greatest danger for those still alive in the Nazi countries.<br> The Hitlerian beast which conquered and humiliated countries and murdered millions of people is ready to strangle and murder the surviving remnants of the Jewish people. Hundreds of thousands of Jews from Hungary are now in danger of death the tens of thousands of Jews left alive in Poland in France in Belgium in the Czech Republic where they are under Hitler's rule.<br> <br> In order to express our grief and anger to cry out our grief and appeal for help to the United Nations at the last moment a public demonstration is called by the Rescue Committee of the General Jewish Conference.<br> <br> We cannot and must not remain silent. People must help save the survivors. Come express your feelings desires and demands! It is demanding that the United Nations do everything possible to stop the death march! It is demanded that all those who are guilty of the murders will be brought to justice!<br> The Nazi victims who are now struggling between death and life must know that we are with them.<br> At a conference of representatives of the trade union organizations called by the Jewish Labor Committee it was decided to actively participate in the great national demonstration. We must do everything we can so that the demonstration will be imposing and effective.<br> <br> Leave the store no later than 4 o'clock. Marched to the site of the demonstration in Madison Square Park. Overtime is not allowed on this day.<br> With Trade Union Regards<br> United Hebrew Trades<br> Reuven Guskin President<br> Maurice Tigel Vice-President<br> William Wolpert Executive Secretary"<br> <br> <br> The rally was covered by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency JTA the next day:<br> <br> "Tens of thousands of Jews and non-Jews crowded Madison Square Park today at an open-air mass-demonstration in behalf of the Jews of Hungary and other parts of Nazi Europe sponsored by the 64 affiliated agencies of the American Jewish Conference with the cooperation of the American Jewish Committee and other national organizations.<br> Speakers at the demonstration included Assistant U. S. Attorney General Norman M. Littell who is secretary of the National Committee Against Persecution of Jews; Dr. Stephen S.Wise president of the American Jewish Congress and co-chairman of the American Jewish Conference; Judge Joseph M. Proskauer president of the American Jewish Committee; Henry Monsky president of B'nai B'rith and co-chairman of the American Jewish Conference; Adolph Held president of the Jewish Labor Committee and many other noted Jewish and Christian leaders.<br> The huge mass-meeting in which Jews from all walks of life participated adopted a declaration stating that it is not yet too late 'to save thousands upon thousands' of Jews for the day of liberation. The meeting appealed in the first instance to President Roosevelt and the Government of the United States and through them to the United Nations and to the neutral states." <br> <br> The original JTA covers including a full list of the demands from the rally and other details can be viewed at www.jta.org/archive/huge-open-air-demonstration-in-new-york-demands-rescue-of-jews-from-europe<br> <br> Leading national Jewish organizations organized this July 31 1944 Madison Square Park mass rally to demand Allied action against the Nazi slaughter of European Jews. <br> New York had at the time the world's biggest Jewish population with a Jewish community of around 2 million. The city had hosted numerous similar rallies over the previous decade all focused on building opposition to Hitler and support for the struggling Jews of Europe. <br> <br> Beginning on March 4 1934 "One year after Hitler's ascension to power in Germany tens of thousands of New Yorkers gathered at Madison Square Garden to hear the words of Rabbi Stephen Wise. 'Despite the oceanic tragedy which has befallen us' Wise pronounced 'we Jews tonight joining in the chorus of civilization indict Hitlerism as humans as members of civilized society before the high court of human judgment.' <br> Wise's words resonated for audience members attending the rally that March night. Over the course of the evening they heard from a chorus of voices representing the American public self-identifying across different racial religious and ideological lines. Framed as a 'court' the speakers at the rally gathered to indict Hitler for his crimes against civilization an intentionally pointed term that would offend Nazi ideologues claiming to protect civilization through Aryan supremacy. This mock trial was part of a larger trend of American Jewish protest performances staged during the Third Reich that intended to garner support for the rescue of European Jews.<br> On March 27 the AJCongress American Jewish Congress successfully staged a rally titled Stop Hitler Now to an audience of twenty thousand Jews in Madison Square Garden. Outside of the Garden thirty-five thousand people stood protesting and ten thousand more marched through Brooklyn in solidarity. Simultaneous protests also occurred in major cities across the country. The United Press estimated that one million protesters participated in the nationwide demonstration that day. <br> In retaliation to the American uproar Hitler threatened a one-day boycott against German Jewish businesses to be resumed three days later if 'international protests' did not cease. Wise after speaking with Undersecretary William Phillips at the State Department agreed to a brief silence on the matter" Gonzalez Maya.

173749261Leiden: Jean Luzac 1737. First edition. Two volumes large quarto. 52 544; 2 545-1232 63 indices 1 corrigendapp. Text in two columns with Hebrew text and facing Latin translation interspersed with commentary. Titles in red and black with engraved vignettes. Contemporary speckled calf; gilt-tooled spine with raised bands and morocco lettering pieces; gilt dentelles; edges daubed in red and green. Light scuffing to boards and fading to spines. A very good set with crisp clean text throughout.<br /> <br /> First edition of this comprehensive commentary to the biblical Book of Job by the Dutch scholar of Semitic languages Albert Schultens 1686-1750 who maintained "that the true nature of the Hebrew language and the meaning of many of its words and idioms are to be found chiefly in the Arabic" Orme. Fifty-five pages of the indices constitute a brief lexicon and provide Latin as well as Arabic equivalents for more than 1000 Hebrew words. Schultens studied theology and eastern languages at Groningen where he received his degree in theology in 1709. After a brief career as a preacher in Wassenaar he was nominated professor of Hebrew and Jewish antiquities at Franeker in 1713. In 1729 he decamped for Leiden were he was first appointed reader in eastern languages and finally full professor in 1732.<br /> <br /> At this time a chief concern of Calvinist theologians was to liberate Old Testament exegesis from the Jewish Rabbinic as well as Catholic traditions. Schultens' influential and controversial solution was revealed as early as 1706 in his first public thesis Disputatio theologico philologica de utilitate linguae Arabicae in interpretanda S. Scriptura A Theologico-Philosophical Dissertation on the Utility of the Arabic Language for the Interpretation of the Holy Scriptures "a forceful attack" Brugman & Schröder on the Protestant sola scriptura methodology of Biblical exegesis. "With the help of Jacobus Golius' Arabic dictionary he perused with zeal and fervour the Old Testament and wrote prolifically. The lexical superiority of Arabic had led him to a reconsideration of the position of Hebrew: at first he had called Arabic 'the most splendid daughter of mother Hebrew' but in his oration of 1729 he proclaimed Hebrew and Arabic cognate twin sisters. This shocked conservative theologians as an outright profanation of God's Word" Brugman & Schröder. "In 1737 he applied his theories in his bilingual edition of the book of the prophet Job whom he regarded as an Arab. The Hebrew text and the Latin translation are all but totally submerged by the extensive commentary in which Schultens draws abundantly on Arabic texts such as the Hamasa an anthology of early Arabic poetry by the ninth-century poet Abu Tammam" Vrolijk & van Leeuwen. Schultens was not without his critics and by 1824 William Orme notes a turning of the tide: "Different opinions are entertained of the correctness of his views and also of his success in applying them; but it is now generally admitted that he carries his notions of the advantage of Arabic learning to the interpretation of the Scriptures too far." <br /> <br /> Jean Luzac 1728-1777 was a member of a well-known Huguenot family of printers; he published many works for the University of Leiden including three Hebrew books of Albert Schultens. Isaac van der Mijn is noted as the printer at the colophon of the second volume.<br /> <br /> Provenance: printed label of the Bibliotheca Seminarii Warmondani at the front endleaf of the first volume.

Adolf Holzhausen 1868-1931 was an influential Austrian-Jewish publisher and bookseller notable for his contributions to the world of printing and publishing in Vienna. He was the son of Adolf Holzhausen the Elder 1827-1892 who led the Viennese court and the university's book printing company. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the book trade Holzhausen received thorough training in the family business; his father had owned the prestigious Manzsche Buchdruckerei Manzsche Book Printing Company since 1858. Holzhausen developed specialized expertise in typesetting and printing of oriental scripts and he supplied his company with carefully crafted oriental typefaces which were highly valued in scholarly and literary circles. Building on this expertise he eventually established his own university book printing company as well as a private publishing house focusing primarily on art books historical works and scholarly publications. Following the upheavals of the First World War Holzhausen was appointed head of the Austrian Military Geography Institute reflecting both his organizational abilities and his intellectual reputation. Beyond his publishing and military contributions he was a strong advocate for collaboration among Austrian educational book publishers promoting greater unity and standards in the production of educational materials. Through his dual roles as a printer and publisher Holzhausen left a lasting impact on Viennese cultural and academic life bridging traditional craftsmanship with modern publishing practices and fostering scholarship in art and history.
