From August 1941 to April 1945, hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, and Romas, as well as anti-fascists of many nationalities, were murdered at the death camp known as Jasenovac. Estimates of the total numbers of men, women and children killed there range from 300, 000 to 700, 000.

1st edition thus. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 629-648. Contains two articles, Concordat Between the Holy See and Germany (1933) , originally printed in the Australasian Catholic Record, and The Church Under the Swastika (1939) , originally printed in The World Problem. The first article talks about the details of the Concordat, concluding that, "The events of the past five years have not justified the sanguine hopes for the progress of the Church which were entertained by many when the historic agreement was signed by His Eminence Cardinal Eugene Pacelli (who is now Pope Pius XII) and Herr Franz Von Papen as Plenipotentiaries of the Holy See and the German Reich respectively. Nevertheless it would be premature to say that such a historic achievement has come to nought. " (page 673) The second article discusses how the Catholic church is under attack, talking about how Catholic schools are shutting down, "Catholic publications are disappearing one by one, " and "Catholic manifestations, such as pilgrimages and processions, have been completely suppressed, " among other things. It is said, though, "But in spite of all this, it seems that the Church as a whole⦠has not suffered many great losses. " (page 641) Subjects: Church and state -- Germany -- History -- 20th century.

1st Edition. Original Wrappers. 8vo. 29, [3] pages ; 22 cm. Early post-Holocaust publication. Joseph Martin McCabe (1867 1955) was an English writer and speaker on freethought, after having been a Roman Catholic priest earlier in his life. A staunch critic of the Catholic Church, McCabe joined groups such as the Rationalist Association and the National Secular Society. Although he criticised Christianity from a rationalist perspective, he was involved in the South Place Ethical Society which grew out of dissenting Protestantism and was a precursor of modern secular humanism.

Publishers cloth. 4to. 135 pages. 27 cm. First edition. Rabbi Bezalel Naor, well known lecturer and author, has published a unique contribution to Holocaust studies. The book, entitled "Kabbalah and the Holocaust, " deals specifically with Kabbalistic responses to the Shoah. Based both on interviews with survivors and historic research, the author records how Kabbalists of various communities fell back on their respective mystic traditions to avert the evil decree. In this book, Rabbi Naor performs a twofold service, tracing the historic development of different schools within Kabbalah, and telling how representatives of those schools used the weapons within their spiritual armamentum to combat the enemy. Thus, the reader gains perspective on the Lithuanian Mitnagdic school of the Vilna Gaon, the Galician-Hungarian-Rumanian Hasidic dynasty of Nadborna, the Balkan (Bulgaria, Greece and Yugoslavia) Sephardic school, the Polish Hasidic tradition of Pshyscha (Kotzk-Izbica-Lublin-Radzyn) , and the Yemenite approach. The book is essential to Holocaust studies for yet another reason. It corrects a certain ethnocentric distortion by showing that the conflagration affected Sephardic Jews and came close to engulfing Yemenite Jewry. Discussed are topics such as: meditation; reincarnation; Divine communication; free will vs. Predestination; good and evil and beyond; automatic speech; and Semitic and Japhetic civilizations. Rabbi Bezalel Naor has been a student of Kabbalah for many years, and has published numerous scholarly articles and books in the field, including recently the revised version of the Vilna Gaon's commentary to Sifra di-Zeni'uta from a manuscript in the Library of Congress in Washington, D. C. Kabbalah and the Holocaust is a handsome folio volume, cloth hardcover with black endpapers. The dust jacket has white embossed lettering on a stark black background and is visually stunning.

It also acknowledges that Norway has had it better than other European countries, saying, "From the beginning, it must be remembered, Norway was more privileged than most other countries occupied by the Germans- thanks to the Hitlerian faith in 'Nordic Superiority. ' This theory, incidentally, is the butt of widespread ridicule in Norway. Nevertheless, the Norwegians, because of their 'racial qualities, ' were to be accorded better treatment than, for example, the Slavs or Poles. " (page 3) Subjects: World War, 1939-1945.

First edition. Original paper wrappers. 4to. 7 pages; 35.5 cm. A Holocaust-era stapled mimeograph report. Includes tables of criminal rates. A consideration of the facts showing the low degree of criminality among Jews leaves no room for the anti-Jewish agitators claim. The only reasonable conclusion is that the causes which lead men to commit crime, whatever they be, operate among the Jewish population no differently than among non-Jews. The American Jewish Congress is an association of Jewish Americans organized to defend Jewish interests at home and abroad through public policy advocacy, using diplomacy, legislation, and the courts. The American Jewish Congress was founded in 1918, and represented a populist counterbalance to the American Jewish Committee, which was dominated by the wealthy and conservative German-Jewish establishment. Leaders within the American Jewish community, consisting of Jewish, Zionist, and immigrant community organizations, convened the first American Jewish Congress (AJCongress) in Philadelphias historic Independence Hall. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Felix Frankfurter, U. S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, and others joined to lay the groundwork for a national democratic organization of Jewish leaders from all over the country, to rally for equal rights for all Americans regardless of race, religion or national ancestry (Wikipedia 2017) .

Original Paper Wrappers with paper label as issued, 12mo, 208 pages, 17 cm. In Hebrew. Early post-war re-issue of this Nazi-era imprint, originally published by the Judischer Verlag in Berlin in 1935. Title translates as Songs of Israel: Maccabi Union of Germany on behalf of the Pioneer Association in Germany. In Hebrew. Lyrics (romanized) --also printed as vocalized text in Hebrew script. Anthology of 230 zionist songs. Includes unacc. Melodies. Published by the Yudisher Ferlag of Berlin, under the auspices of Hechalutz and Maccabi World Union. Jakob Schönberg was born in Fürth, Bavaria on September 8, 1900. His father, David Schönberg, was chazzan (cantor) at the Claus-synagoge in Fürth. ... Schönberg apparently earned his living during Germany's Weimar Republic (1919-1933) as a pianist, music critic, conductor and composer. He wrote articles for the Nürnberger Zeitung and served as a musical consultant for Bavarian Radio in Munich. Bavarian Radio performed some of his orchestral compositions. He also worked in films as a "musical conductor and illustrator" and some of his film music was published by Schott's Söhne, Mainz, and Hawkes and Son, London. Schönberg was interested in composing instrumental music especially orchestral. His first orchestral work, Prelude Symphonique, premiered in 1923. ... His style of composition took a decidedly Jewish turn after the Nazis took power in 1933, and Jewish musicians could no longer be employed by Germany's state-supported cultural institutions. In 1934 Schönberg transcribed the folk songs and dance tunes of several halutzim (pioneers) visiting Germany from Palestine. The following year he published Shire Erets Yisrael (Songs of the Land of Israel) , an anthology containing 230 Hebrew songs (Berlin: Jüdischer Verlag, 1935) . From this time until, at least, when he left Germany, these Israeli melodies would figure prominently in Schönberg's work. He set several of them for voice with piano and voice with flute and viola. His Suite für Orchester, 3 Sätze utilizes a Horra melody from the anthology. Schönberg's orchestral Horras appear to have been extremely popular in Nazi Germany, and were performed numerous times by the Jüdischer Kulturbünde between 1936 and 1938, in both Berlin and Frankfurt-am-Main (Jakob Schonberg Collection; JTSA) .
