1st edition, original wrappers, 12mo. 7 pages. 15 cm. On the 1-year anniversary of the uprising, Rabbi Hertz discusses the worlds reaction, asking, What has been--we wonder--the reaction in Allied lands to this stark Satanism? He praises church leaders among the few who were vigorous in their protests, answering rhetorically, stating, Well the Press--with few honourable exceptions--passed it over in silence; and the larger public has thus remained unmoved by this mass crucifixion of a whole people. Only men and women of light and leading realised that Nazism was a maniacal assault on all the ethical foundations of society--pity, decency, and respect for life; an attempt to make a clean sweep of the sacred Heritage of Man. Foremost among them were the Heads of the Churches, with their passionate plea that, as the crimes were unheard-of, unheard-of measures were called for to stop them. (page 6) . The author, Joseph Herman Hertz (1872-1946, London) , was chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth and author of books on Judaism and of influential commentaries on the Bible expressing a fundamentalist viewpoint....Hertz was elected to his post as chief rabbi in England in 1913. His career in that position was a colourful one. He attacked the newly formed Liberal Jewish movement (a movement more or less equivalent to U. S. Reform Judaism) . His powerful attacks on anti-Semitism included one, in the presence of the Russian ambassador, against Russian discrimination.

1st Yiddish edition. Original illustrated paper wrappers. 12mo. 95 pages, 14 cm. In Yiddish with some Russian. Title translates to Lublin Extermination-Camp Majdanek. Soviet war correspondent and poet Konstantin Simonovs booklet on the atrocities of the Majdanek camp, published simultaneously in several languages, was only the second monograph published on the atrocities at Majdanek. Simonov (1915-1979) was a highly decorated poet, novelist, playright, and war correspondent whose works were widely known (Wikipedia, 2018) . A Polish-Soviet Special Criminal Court was established in Lublin in August 1944 in order to investigate the Nazi crimes in the Majdanek extermination camp, with Simonov covering the proceedings as the basis for this work. The Majdanek concentration camp was established on Heinrich Himmler's order and operated from October 1, 1941 until it was liberated by the Soviet Army on July 22, 1944. It is known to be the best preserved Nazi concentration camp of the Holocaust, as the Germans did not have enough time to destroy the evidences of their crimes. The Commission for investigating the German crimes was established in August 1944 and soon they published this booklet in several languages. Despite of the importance of this statement it must be mentioned that the Commission made many erroneous assumptions regarding the duration of the camp or number of people killed at Majdanek, probably because they were motivated rather by political and propaganda agenda than by a search for historical facts. The total number of the victims is still controversial, in this report 1.5 million victims of different nationalities were counted, however according to the latest researches there were 79, 000 victims, 59, 000 of whom were Jews.

His other works included the popular "They Fought Back: The Story of Jewish Resistance in Nazi Europe. " That work was praised as a landmark contribution to Holocaust literature and Suhl spent more than five years documenting it before it was published in 1967. His other works included "Eloquent Crusader: Ernestine Rose, " a biography of the Polish-born feminist, and two autobiographical novels: "One Foot in America" and "Cowboy on a Wooden Horse. " He was also a trustee of the fund set up for the sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The illustrator, William Gropper (18971977) , a cartoonist, painter, lithographer, and muralist; he grew up in the lower east side, and an aunt of his died in the triangle shirtwaist factory fire. He was a dedicated left wing political cartoonist for both English and Yiddish papers. During the second half of the 1930s, Gropper dedicated his art to the efforts to raise popular opposition to fascism in Europe. Following World War II, Gropper traveled to Poland to attend the inaugural convention of the World Congress of Intellectuals for Peace of 1948 in Wroclaw. This Yiddish childrens book was printed there, both for an audience of international anti-fascist partisans and survivors gathering to found the World Peace Council, as well as for those survivors living in Wroclaw, one of the largest post-war Jewish communities in Poland for a few years.

Einband und Kern papierbedingt gebräunt, Titelbl. mit Exlibris-Stempel. Erste Ausgabe der ersten Buchveröffentlichung Wiesenthals, zugleich eines der ersten gedruckten Berichte eines KZ-Überlebenden. Als Häftling im Konzentrationslager Mauthausen arbeitete Wiesenthal auf dem Todesblock - unbemerkt von den Nazi-Schergen - an Skizzen und Zeichnungen, die einem Ziel dienen sollten: die Weltöffentlichkeit nach dem Ende der Naziherrschaft und der Befreiung der Konzentrationslager darüber zu informieren, was sich hinter deren Mauern und dem Stacheldraht zugetragen hat. Wiesenthal brauchte für seine Arbeiten nicht viel mehr als einen Bleistiftstummel und etwas Papier. Bildfragmente aus Nazi-Magazinen, wie sie in Papierkörben zu finden waren, baute er nach dem Krieg als optische Zitate in seine Collagen ein, und auch die Texte zu den Bildern entstanden erst im Zuge der Vorbereitungen zur Veröffentlichung des vorliegenden Buches. Infolge der kleinen Auflage war das Werk bald vergriffen und geriet in Vergessenheit, außerdem waren in der Zeit des beginnenden Kalten Krieges Bücher über Nazi-Greuel nicht weiter gefragt...
