These included direct financial aid and assistance with employment and with further emigration.

Publishers cloth. 8vo. 171, [1] pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Norwegian. Title translates as: People among the people: a book on anti-Semitism and xenophobia. Written by Leo Eitinger (1912 - 1996) , Holocaust survivor, Norwegian psychiatrist, and Human Rights advocate. He devoted a long period studying late-onset psychological trauma amongst Holocaust survivors, wherein Holocaust survivors like Paul Celan, Primo Levi and many others committed suicide due to holocaust trauma, several decades after the experience, towards late adulthood. Leo Eitinger was born in Lomnice, Moravia, at that time a town in the Austrian-Hungarian empire; currently the capital of Jihomoravský kraj and belonging to the Czech Republic. He studied medicine at the Masaryk University of Brno, graduated in 1937, and was drafted as an officer into the Czech Air Force. In 1939 he fled Nazi persecution of Jews and came to Norway as a refugee with the help of Nansenhjelpen. Upon arriving in Norway, he arranged for Jewish children to escape from Czechoslovakia to settle in the Jewish orphanage in Oslo. He was given permission to work as a resident in psychiatry in Norway in Bodø, but the permission was revoked by the Nazis after they invaded the country in 1940. He stayed underground from January 1941 until he was arrested in March 1942. He was imprisoned in various places throughout Norway and was deported on the ship Gotenland on February 24, 1943, arriving by train via Berlin at the concentration camp at Auschwitz (where the number 105268 was tattoed on his arm) and was later moved to Buchenwald. Of the 762 Jews deported from Norway to German concentration camps, only 23 survived - Leo Eitinger was one of them. After returning to Norway he specialised in psychiatry. In 1966 Leo Eitinger was appointed professor of psychiatry at the University of Oslo and became Head of the University Psychiatric Clinic. After the war Leo Eitinger allocated all his time and efforts to the study of human suffering with emphasis on clinical psychiatry, in particular victimology and disaster psychiatry. He conducted several landmark studies about the long-term psychological and physical effects of extreme stress and also about being a refugee. Some of the major works have been published; e. G. Concentration camp survivors in Norway and Israel (1964) ; Mortality and morbidity after extreme stress (1973) ; Strangers in the world (1981) (University of Oslo description) Subjects: Antisemitism -- History.

1st edition. Stapled. [4] leaves. 38 cm. Single sided typed transcription of the speech Alfred M. Landon gave by radio to a mass meeting in Madison Square Garden. Thousands of persons gathered tonight in the Madison Square Garden, in a rally under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Committee and several cooperating organizations, to hear Christian and Jewish leaders condemn Nazi terrorism in Poland and elsewhere and to adopt resolution protesting against the Lublin Jewish reservation and other aspects of Reich persecution. The audience cheered speeches and resolutions which branded Germany as an enemy of civilization, warned that Nazi oppression threatened not alone the Jews but Christians and all of mankind, and called for renewed efforts to safeguard democracy and equal rights in this country. ("Nazi Terrorism, Reds Assailed at Mass Rally of All Faiths Here. " Jewish Telegraphic Agency 14 Dec 1939.) The American Jewish Congress and Jewish Labor Committee planned today to send a delegation to Washington in the near future to present to the Government a resolution adopted at last night's mass meeting of 20, 000 persons in the Madison Square Garden appealing to President Roosevelt to express to the German Government America's abhorrence and condemnation of oppression in Poland. The resolution was adopted after the capacity audience--it was announced that 8, 000 had been turned away--had heard Herbert Hoover, Alfred M. Landon, Mayor LaGuardia, William Green, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and others denounce anti-Jewish bestialities in Poland. An impressive part of the program was the chanting of El Mole Rachamim by a chorus of the Jewish Cantors-Ministers Association. Thousands in the audience, on the platform and even in the press section shed tears during the memorial prayer for the victims of the occupation of Poland. Hoover, who arrived unexpectedly, coming by airplane from Chicago, read a message which he had sent previously (JTA NEWS DEC. 14) , in which he denounced the bestialities visited upon the people of the Jewish faith. Mayor LaGuardia, who had come in by plane with Hoover, denounced those who are responsible for the outrages and the cruelties which are being inflicted upon hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and the new cruelty of exploited, occupied lands that were taken contrary to all rules of civilization. He declared there is being crystallized throughout the country today, throughout the world, a public opinion that will be visited upon the culprits not only in their day but for centuries to come. Landon, speaking by radio from Topeka, said that this evening you are expressing the conscience of America, a conscience that refuses to be silent in the midst of persecution. He declared: The time will come when the plain, average people of Germany will want to return to the amenities of international life. Decent treatment of all minority civilian groups will have a profound effect on our future respect for and appreciation of the German people.
