Jan. 2-5 1940 in Yiddish. <br> Moldawer a Polish Jew who had resided in Germany had been caught by the outbreak of the war in Hamburg on his way to the United States. Together with other Jews holding U.S. visas and steamship tickets on the Hamburg-America Line-which had suspended operations-he was deported to Lublin via Prague. Moldawer used his U.S. visa and left Poland in December 1939 and was able to issue this report which became important at the time for understanding what was happening to the Jews in Poland and is often cited in later analysis. <br> <br> “During the Holocaust 99% of the Jews from Lublin District in the General Governorate of German-occupied Poland were murdered along with thousands of Jews who had been deported to Lublin from elsewhere. There were three extermination camps in Lublin District Sobibor Belzec and Majdanek.<br> The ghettoization of the Jews for the purpose of persecution terror and exploitation in the Nazi German controlled towns began immediately after the invasion of Poland….The number of major urban ghettos established in the General-Government in 1939–40 including those of Kraków and Warsaw reached one hundred before the end of the year. In the Lublin area the situation initially differed. Instead of their urban concentration some 10000 Polish Jews had been expelled from Lublin in early March 1940 to the rural towns where ghettos were not set up based solely on Globocnik's opposition to the Jewish people living near his staff headquarters. The remaining 40000 Jews of Lublin were forced into the Lublin Ghetto in May 1940†Wikipedia. <br> SUBJECTS: Nazi concentration camps. World War 1939-1945 -- Jews.

194443395Shvayts Switzerland: Undzer Vort Poale Tziyon Left 1944. May 1944. 1st edition. Original stapled printed paper cover 4to 2 25 pages. <br> In Yiddish. Title translates as "In Memoriam. On the Anniversary of the Uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto April-May 1943.<br> First Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising published in Europe during the Holocaust by Jewish "Poale Tziyon Left" members in Switzerland. The organization's name which means "Workers of Zion" is sometimes also romanized as "Poale Zion" or "Poaley Syjon." <br> <br> The imprint "Undzer Vort" "Our Word" was a Left Poale Tziyon publisher in Switzerland which also published a mimeograph newspaper titled "Undzer Vort" OCLC: 232675203 during this same period. A fully underground version of the paper was also published in Nazi-Occupied Belgium see below.<br> <br> Indeed Poale Tsiyon Left was an important part of Jewish resistance throughout Europe most notably during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which this publication commemorates. <br> <br> "The Holocaust-era Jewish resistance group ZOB was formed from a coalition including Hashomer Hatzair Dror Bnei Akiva the Jewish Bund various Jewish Communist groups and both factions of Poale Zion. Poale Zion was also active in the Anti-Fascist Bloc.<br> Several notable Jewish resistance fighters during the Holocaust particularly those involved in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising were members of Poale Zion. They include:<br> <br> Adolf Berman Warsaw ZOB fighter; Secretary of Zegota Poale Zion Left<br> Hersz Berlinski member of Warsaw ZOB Command Poale Zion Left<br> Yochanan Morgenstern member of Warsaw ZOB Command Poale Zion Right<br> Emanuel Ringelblum member of Warsaw ZOB; chronicler of the Warsaw Ghetto Poale Zion Left" Wikipedia.<br> <br> The booklet opens with the moving story of the start of the uprising:<br> <br> "It has been a year since the glorious uprising of the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto.<br> April 19 1943 - barely a few tens of thousands of Jews left in Warsaw after about half a million of their brothers and sisters were exterminated in the most gruesome way they rose up with organized resistance against the renewed attempts.that they too like the previous ones would be led out like sheep to the slaughter.<br> Forty thousand Jews weapons in hand opposed an enemy tenfold a hundred hundred times outnumbered.Women men and children the high class and the humble.<br> From the beginning they all knew without exception that they would be defeated that the outcome was not in doubt and that the enemy intended nothing but destruction for all of them.<br> But no Nazi expected to fall on such a battlefield.<br> And his was the biggest slap in the face which the proud Nazis.so hated when it was received from these these trampled down these unrefined these scorned these despised Jewish 'untermenchen'" Translated from the opening paragraphs on page 1.<br> <br> The publication later continues with a damnation of the "democracies" who did so little and a holding up of the comrades of Poale Tziyon who are doing so much fighting on all fronts:<br> <br> "The 'world democracies' didn't do anything.to save the Jewish victims and to stop the misery train they issued platonic statements about punishing the 'crimes' after the massacre. The warnings have so far helped little.<br> The.Sacrifices keep growing.The world that is fighting 'for justice' and that is busy with courts after the massacre has not found any means to rescue the few escaped heroes in the ghetto for a whole year.<br> This long eulogy is for dozens and hundreds of comrades who fell as loyal children of the nation and fighters for its working class on the fronts in the distant.north in the camps of France and Belgium. who went from one end of the world to the other - at their wounds and from hundreds of thousands of others - comrades of the Poale-Tziyon movement." page 24. <br> <br> Poale Zion.was a movement of Marxist-Zionist Jewish workers founded in various cities of Poland Europe and the Russian Empire at about the turn of the 20th century after the Bund rejected Zionism in 1901.<br> Poale Zion was torn between left-wing and right-wing factions in 1919-1920; the organization formally split at the Poale Zion fifth world congress in Vienna in 1920 following a similar division that occurred in the Second International.<br> The right wing was less Marxist and more nationalist and favoured a more moderate socialist program and supported the International Working Union of Socialist Parties to continue the work of the Second International essentially becoming a social democratic party. The left-wing faction did not consider the Second International radical enough and some accused its members of betraying Borochov's revolutionary principles although Borochov had begun to modify his ideology as early as 1914 and publicly identified as a social democrat the year before his death.<br> Poale Zion Left which supported the Bolshevik revolution continued to be sympathetic to Marxism and Communism and attended the second and third congresses of the Communist International in a consultative capacity. They lobbied for membership but their attempts were unsuccessful as the internationalist communist movement under Lenin and Trotsky was opposed to Zionist nationalism. The Comintern advised individual members of Left Poale Zion to join their national Communist parties as individuals; at their 1922 Danzig conference these terms were rejected by the party. The Comintern declared it an enemy of the workers' movement.<br> Poale Zion Left opposed the decision by Poale Zion to rejoin the World Zionist Organization viewing it as essentially bourgeois in character and viewed the Histadrut as reformist and non-socialist. Aside from differing attitudes towards Zionism and Stalinism the two wings of Poale Zion parted ways over Yiddish and Yiddish culture.<br> The Left was more supportive of the latter similar to the members of the Jewish Bund while the Right bloc identified strongly with the emerging modern Hebrew movement in the early 20th century.<br> In Poland for a brief period following World War I both factions of Poale Zion were reported as legal and functioning political parties. The Polish Left party was the largest Left Poale Zion party in the world. It worked closely with the Bund in developing Yiddish schools in Poland and supporting secular Yiddish culture although they had political differences e.g. the Bund was more supportive of the Polish Socialist Party than LPZ.<br> As part of the large-scale ban on Jewish political parties in post-World War II Poland by the Communist leadership both Poale Zion groups were disbanded in February 1950" Wikipedia.<br> <br> Interestingly the image on the front cover this distinctive gravestone with "Yizkor" in a specific heavy font was a frequent image for memorials to the victims of pogroms as well as the Shoah in particular for memorials to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

First edition. SEMINAL WORK IN MEDICAL CLINICAL RESEARCH & A CRITICAL ARTIFACT OF THE WARSAW GHETTO AND HOLOCAUST. Copies of the book are uncommon in part because of the fragile nature of the paper used to publish the report. In the immediate aftermath of World War II paper ink and binding facilities in Europe were scarce. The published report was done with economy in mind and with a rushed sense of needing to reveal to the world what happened. / Six articles report on the clinical research by 28 Jewish physicians and a student intern the 1946 book only records the names of 21 physicians and the student – subsequent research in the 1960s revealed the additional names who conducted the studies on adults and children at the two Jewish hospitals in the Ghetto. Abbreviated biographies of the physicians can be found in The Uses of Adversity: Studies of Starvation in the Warsaw Ghetto by Leonard Tushnet published in 1966. The physicians hoped to study these patients to somehow benefit humanity perhaps in the spirit of the Jewish concept of tikkun olam - to repair the world. The studies were conducted in secret since any scientific research in the Ghetto was prohibited by the Nazi overseers. It is also quite possible that many if not all the clinical physicians believed that granting children and others the status of being a patient would protect them by preventing their transport out of the ghetto to death camps. Theories also suggest that the physicians wanted to preserve a record of the atrocities being committed as well as advance medical research. The studies remain the most comprehensive research of the effects and progression of starvation in part because any contemporary studies would largely be blunted by existing ethical guidelines for informed consent and subject welfare. Contemporary debates about the ethical wisdom of conducting these studies remains contentious. / The Warsaw Ghetto occupied approximately 1.3 square miles 3.4km2 and its population was as much as 500000 men women and children. The Ghetto was a staging area for transporting Polish and Eastern European Jews to the death camps and a locale for starving to death Jews prior to transport. The average daily caloric intake of a resident of the Ghetto was 600 to 800 calories of low-protein food for adults. This amount was calculated by Adolf Eichmann to starve-to-death most of the residents in approximately nine months. The physicians performing the research were no exception to the plan. All were starving as they performed their studies. Equipment for clinical research was smuggled into the hospitals. / Each article in the book is devoted to specific results of these studies. Chapter V offers autopsy results on 710 patients; 492 died of starvation and 218 died of complications of secondary conditions. Chapter VI offers clinical observations of one-hundred adults who died from starvation. Chapter VII offers clinical observations of 40 children who died of starvation. Chapter VIII examines the effects of starvation on the cardiovascular system in adults and children. Chapter IX discusses changes in peripheral blood and bone marrow. Ophthalmic responses to starvation are discussed in Chapter X. Only one doctor engaged in the research Emil Apfelbaum survived the war. He arranged to have the studies smuggled out of the Ghetto to a Polish professor of medicine who released the reports after the liberation of Warsaw. After the war Apfelbaum edited the report for publication by the Joint Distribution Committee. He died a week before the book was published. / Research was performed at the two hospitals in the Ghetto from late February to July 22 1942. On July 22 the hospitals were closed and any patients unable to be transported were summarily executed regardless of age. The attending and clinical physicians were fully aware of the fate awaiting transported patients and in many instances they performed euthanasia on elderly and child patients who were scheduled for transport. Some of the physicians committed suicide rather than face transport. Other physicians accompanied their patients to the death camps providing whatever aid they could. / The studies were smuggled out of the ghetto in a manner befitting a Ken Follet thriller. A Jewish physician Henryk Fenigstein played a crucial role. "Before the war Henryk was a stamp collector. In fact he had one of the largest collections of Polish stamps in the country. One day two SS members arrived at the hospital and told Henryk to come with them to Gestapo headquarters. Of course he was terrified. Jews taken to Gestapo headquarters did not return. On arrival he was taken to the office of a senior officer who told him that he himself was an avid stamp collector. He took out a list and handed it to Henryk. He wondered if Henryk had these stamps and if not if he knew where to procure them. Henryk told him that he had many of the stamps including some of the very rare ones. He told him that he thought he could procure the rest. In order to do this he would need a pass to get out of the ghetto for a few hours each week. And of course the SS officer was welcome to those that he had. The officer agreed and even gave Henryk his phone number in case he needed any help. Thus Henryk Fenigstein a key member of the study team was able to leave the ghetto" 2005 lecture Myron Winick. During such an outing Fenigstein arranged for the smuggling of the reports. A pregnant woman reportedly was used to hide the documents and transport them out of the ghetto. / The supervising physician of the project Israel Milejkowski wrote in his Introduction to the studies that each author refused to allow the Nazis to destroy their work and that through the research and the publication of that research "Nous avons termine nos Recherches et nous les conserverons bien comme c'etait Ton desir. Les paroles immortelles que Tu a jetees "Non omnius Moriar" doivent etre en premier lieu appliquees a Toi! Gloire eternelle a Ta Memoire !" / The research as well as results from the Minnesota Semi-Starvation studies of 1944-1945 continues to benefit the millions of persons facing starvation each year. The participants in the Minnesota study lost an average of 25% of pre-test body weight and the final phase of the study included recovery techniques and methods. The Warsaw studies measured effects until death. This artifact of scientific integrity individual bravery and resistance to oppression is a rare opportunity to truly own a small piece of history illuminating the courage of physicians determined to use their craft to help the world and advance the memory of atrocities.
