Original Wrappers. 12 mo. 15 pages. 19 cm. First edition. Holocaust-era detailed summary of the anti-fascist activities of the Jewish Peoples Committee. Demanding a forceful and militant approach to anti-fascist organizing worldwide, the Jewish Peoples Committee goes as far as accusing organizations, such as the American Jewish Congress and American Jewish Committee of passively allowing and ignoring antisemitic threats. The concise and polemical essay ends with a rousing call to DESTROY ANTI-SEMITISM! ABOLISH DISCRIMINATION! DEFEND DEMOCRACY AND PEACE! (Page 15) The Jewish People's Committee against Fascism and Anti-Semitism was formed in 1939, when the American Jewish Congress rejected applicants from the leftist International Workers Organization.

1st edition. Original illustrated wrappers, 4to (large) , 34 pages. Loaded with illustrations. Event program. Striking cover illustration and one text illustration by Mitchell Loeb. Includes illustrations in text (halftones) and a section of ads. The World Labor Athletic Carnival was organized to directly oppose U. S. Athletes' participation in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, which were viewd as providing both legitimacy and a prime propaganda opportunity to Hitler's Nazi government. Put together in 1936 by a coalition of New York left-wing political organizations and labor unions including the heavily Jewish International Ladies' Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) , the Socialist and Communist Parties, the Jewish Labor Committee, and others, the Carnival took place over two days, coinciding with the two final days of the Berlin Games, and involved an array of high-profile American, Canadian, and a few international competitors including high-jumper Walter Marty, sprinters Eulace Peacock and Perrin Walker, and pole vaulter George Varoff. In the end, the Carnival proved something of a disappointment from both an attendance and an athletic perspective. Aside from Varoff's world-record setting performance in the pole vault, "... The New York Herald Tribune described the athletic performances as 'mediocre' and noted that the spectators were unenthusiastic'" (for a detailed account of the event, see Edward S. Shapiro, "The World Labor Athletic Carnival of 1936: an American Anti-Nazi Protest, " in American Jewish History v.74, no.3 (Mar 1985) , pp.255-273) . No copies anywhere in OCLC.

1st edition. Original wrappers. 8vo. 58 pages, 30 cm. In German. Title translates to Knowing the Land. Published just after the war as Jewish refugee children were being brought to Palestine. This mimeograph publication appears to be for use in teaching those children about the land to which they are about to emigrate. In 1929, the Palestine Zionist Executive was renamed, restructured and officially inaugurated as The Jewish Agency for Palestine by the 16th Zionist Congress, held in Zurich, Switzerland. The new body was larger and included a number of Jewish non-Zionist individuals and organizations, who were interested in Jewish settlement in Palestine. They were philanthropic rather than political, and many opposed talk of a Jewish State. With this broader Jewish representation, the Jewish Agency for Palestine was recognized by the British in 1930, in lieu of the Zionist Organization, as the appropriate Jewish agency under the terms of the Mandate (Wikipedia, 2018) .

1st Edition. Original Typed Report. 12mo. 31 pages ; 30 cm. In English. This is the DP-period May 1952 Executive Report from the New York Jewish Agency for Palestine, now known as the Jewish Agency for Israel, which is the largest Jewish nonprofit organization in the world. This original type-written report of the financial expenditures and programmatic activities of the Jewish Agency documents one of the most important segments of the Agencys history. David Ben-Gurion was executive of the Agency until 1948, when he left to become Israels 1st Prime Minister. In 1952, the Knesset passed the Zionist Organization-Jewish Agency for Israel Law, which formalized the Jewish Agencys responsibility to supervise Aliyah, absorption, and settlement in the State of Israel. Interestingly, this New York Executive Report uses the name Jewish Agency for Palestine, even though the organization began to use the name Jewish Agency for Israel in 1948.

Publishers cloth. 8vo. XVII, 271 pages. 24 cm. First edition. Contains over 30 black and white photographs. Publishers description: The unknown story of the successful American rescue of approximately 1, 000 children from the Holocaust is told in the words of the children and their rescuers. Sent across the ocean by their parents and taken in by foster parents and distant relatives, approximately 1, 000 children, ranging in age from fourteen months to sixteen years, landed in the United States and out of Hitler's reach between 1934 and 1945. Seventy years after the first ship brought a handful of these children to American shores, the general public and many of the children themselves remain unaware of these rescues, and the fact that they were accomplished despite powerful forces in and outside the government that did not want them to occur. This is the first published account, told in the words of the children and their rescuers, to detail this unknown part of America's response to the Holocaust. It will challenge the belief that Americans did nothing to directly and actively save Holocaust victims. Judith Tydor Baumel, Holocaust scholar and sister of two rescued children, provides an introduction explaining why, when, how, and where the rescues were carried out, who the heroes and heroines were, and which individuals and organizations placed almost insurmountable obstacles in their path. This account presents both recollections and experiences recorded at the time of the rescued children, their descendants, and their rescuers. The story demonstrates what a small group of determined people can do to change the course of history. Subjects: Jewish refugees - United States. Jewish refugees - United States - Biography.

1st edition, 12mo, original wrappers, with dust jacket, 219 pages. This book provides a condensed picture of the Nazi occupation in Poland. It is based on documents collected by the Main Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland. The occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the Second World War (1939-1945) began with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and formally concluded with the defeat of Nazism by the Allies in May 1945. Throughout the entire course of foreign occupation, the territory of Poland was divided between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. In summer-autumn of 1941 the lands annexed by the Soviets were overrun by Nazi Germany in the course of the initially successful German attack on the USSR. After a few years of fighting, the Red Army was able to repel the invaders and drive the Nazi forces out of the USSR and across Poland from the rest of Eastern and Central Europe. Both occupying powers were equally hostile to the existence of sovereign Poland, her culture and the Polish people, aiming at their destruction. Before Operation Barbarossa, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union coordinated their Poland-related policies, most visibly in the four Gestapo-NKVD Conferences, where the occupants discussed plans for dealing with the Polish resistance movement and future destruction of Poland. About 6 million Polish citizens - nearly 21.4% of Poland's population - died between 1939 and 1945 as a result of the occupation, half of whom were Polish Jews. Over 90% of the death toll came through non-military losses, as most of the civilians were targeted by various deliberate actions by Germans and the Soviets. Overall, during German occupation of pre-war Polish territory, 1939-1945, the Germans murdered 5, 470, 000 - 5, 670, 000 Poles, including nearly 3, 000, 000 Jews.
