Softbound. 8vo. XII, 250 pages. 23 cm. First English edition. The memoir of Mietek Pemper; in collaboration with Viktoria Hertling, assisted by Marie Elisabeth Müller; translated by David Dollenmayer. Publishers description: Mietek Pempers compelling and moving memoir tells the true story of how Schindlers list really came to pass. Pemper was born in 1920 into a lively and cultivated Jewish family for whom everything changed in 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland. Evicted from their home, they were forced into the Krakow ghetto and, later, into the nearby camp of Plaszow where Pempers knowledge of the German language was put to use by the sadistic camp commandant Amon Goth. Forced to work as Goths personal stenographer from March 1943 to September 1944an exceptional job for a Jewish prisonerPemper soon realized that he could use his position as the commandants private secretary to familiarize himself with the inner workings of the Nazi bureaucracy and exploit the system to his fellow detainees advantage. Once he gained access to classified documents, Pemper was able to pass on secret information for Schindler to compile his famous lists. After the war, Pemper was the key witness of the prosecution in the 1946 trial against Goth and several other SS officers. The Road to Rescue stands as a historically authentic testimony of one mans unparalleled courage, wit, defiance, and bittersweet victory over the Nazi regime.

8vo., Fifth Impression, contemporary inscription and short closed tear on front free endpaper; grey cloth, gilt back, red top, a very good, bright, clean copy in price-clipped dustwrapper, the latter very lightly age-soiled and mildly browned at backstrip. First published in 1960, Shirer's massive compilation is still arguably the best single-volume account. Over five years in the making, it benefits from access to the full volume of German official documents captured intact by the Allies and only made available for a short period [in 1955] by the American authorities. Although many times reissued, early impressions are increasingly uncommon in anything like this condition. Enser, p.181.

xiii, [3], 362, [6] ads pages. Twenty-one black and white photographic plates. "Based on material collected by the World Committee for the Relief of the Victims of German Fascism." - subtitle. Madden describes this work as a "Marxist publication which concludes that the Nazis burned the Reichstag. An appendix claims to list 747 proven cases of murder committed by the Nazis. Above-average but not excessive wear and soiling to publisher's faded red cloth. Binding intact. The only markings begin at page 231 and continue to the end. Small handwritten fore-edge stickman images become moving pictures if you quickly flip through to the back of the book. Quite harmless actually, although such a playful excercise seems oddly inconsistent with the content of the book. Dust jacket not included.
