1st Edition. Original Paper Wrappers bound inside Period Boards. 8vo. [2] , 29 pages ; 23 cm. In French. Very important period anti-racist imprint. Title Translates into English as, Judaism as a Race and a Religion; From the Conference At The Circle Of Saint-Simon, On 27 January 1883. Joseph Ernest Renan (1823 1892) was a French expert of Semitic languages and civilizations (philology) , philosopher, historian, and writer, devoted to his native province of Brittany. He is best known for his influential historical works on early Christianity, and his political theories, especially concerning nationalism and national identity. Renan is credited as being among the first scholars to advance the Khazar theory, which held that Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of Turkic peoples who had adopted Jewish religion and migrated to Western Europe following the collapse of their khanate . In his 1883 lecture Le Judaïsme comme race et comme Religion he disputed the concept that Jewish people constitute a unified racial entity in a biological sense, which made his views unpalatable within racial antisemitism. Renan was also known for being a strong critic of German ethnic nationalism, with its antisemitic undertones. (Wikipedia, 2016) A very clean first edition copy of Renans 1883 lecture.

1st separate edition, original wrappers, 8vo. 13 pages. Reprint from the Israel law review, vol. 7, no. 1, January 1972. The author, Jacob Robinson (18891977) , was a jurist, politician, diplomat, and Holocaust researcher . After official Jewish representation was prohibited in Lithuania in 1927, Robinson organized an informal, secret group to defend Jewish interests. With the outbreak of World War II and the incorporation of Vilna into Lithuania, this committee played a leading role in receiving Jewish refugees from Poland and integrating Vilnas Jewish population into Lithuania. Robinson left Lithuania in May 1940 and reached the United States with his family in December of that year. In February 1941, he founded the Institute of Jewish Affairs (IJA) , the research arm of the American and World Jewish Congress, which he directed until 1947. The IJAs main topics of research were the fate of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe; the question of reparation and indemnification; the legal basis for prosecuting Nazi criminals; and the promotion of the concept of human rights as a means for defending the rights of Jews. In 1945, Robinson advised U. S. Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson in Nuremberg and codrafted the Jewish case presented to the International Military Tribunal. In 1946, he counseled chief prosecutor Telford Taylor on the Flick Case in Nuremberg. That same year, Robinson worked for the United Nations as an expert consultant to the team creating and establishing the Commission of Human Rights. In 1947 Robinson became legal adviser to the Jewish Agency at the UN and from 1948 to 1957 he was legal counsel to Israels delegation. Thanks to his previous experience, Robinson was instrumental in developing the Israeli diplomatic service. In 1952, he drafted the reparations agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) . His brother Nehemiah (18981964) was also a brilliant lawyer. He was Jacobs close partner and successor as director of the IJA, and drafted the agreements between the FRG and the Claims Conference as well as the FRGs Indemnification Law. In 1957, Robinson became the legal adviser for the Conference on Material Claims Against Germany, helped establish the research branch of Yad Vashem, and coordinated Holocaust research between several research Institutes (among them YIVO, Yad Vashem, Leo Baeck Institute, Wiener Library, and the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine) . Robinson also coordinated the collaboration of these and other Jewish institutions with the prosecution in trials against Nazi criminals. He was also the legal mind behind the prosecution at the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem (19601961) , serving as special assistant to the attorney general. Robinson edited the Holocaust section for the Encyclopedia Judaica (1971) and several volumes of documentary sources of the Holocaust. He also published several important bibliographic works on international law (YIVO, 2018) . SUBJECT(S) : Nuremberg Trial of Major German War Criminals, Nuremberg, Germany, 1945-1946.

1st edition, original cloth with dust jacket, 8vo. 218 pages. 25 cm. "Joseph Albo on Free Choice discovers unsuspected philosophical originality in the interpretations of biblical narrative found in Joseph Albo's Book of Principles, one of the most popular Hebrew works in the corpus of medieval Jewish philosophy. Several of Albo's exegetical analyses focus on free choice, which emerges as a conceptual scheme throughout his work. An exploration of Albo's innovative homiletical interpretations of the binding of Isaac, the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, the Book of Job, and God's choice of Israel, reveals his view of free choice which was significant during a historical period of religious coercion. Albo's sole surviving responsum dealing with the case of the qatlanit further demonstrates his philosophical position. In this new book, Shira Weiss shows that in the medieval era in which Albo lived, free choice was an important topic, subject to vehement debate that has continued to be contested in modern philosophy" (abstract) SUBJECT(S) : Philosophy, Medieval.

1st edition, original cloth, 4to, xix+ 288+ (2) pages. On title page: Brzezin memorial book. Illustrations throughout. Yiddish, with English introduction. There once was a town of Jewish tailors Brzezin. From early dawn until late at night one could hear the music of the Singer sewing machines. It was the music of hard work, of intense anxiety, of a hard life, but also of noisy youth, semi-intellectuals, observant Jews, Hasidim who lived and had aspirations in the small Jewish town Brzezin. The Nazi savages extinguished this life forever, transformed it into ashes. Only a few Jews from the tailoring town Brzezin, by some miracle, remain, scattered over the entire world, individuals who were witnesses to the German cannibalism. May these words, frail in print, but inscribed not with ink but with blood, be a modest contribution to the matseve [gravestone] for my native town, Brzezin. Brzezin was one of the oldest and most popular Jewish communities in Poland. When this community was established, it carried the name Krakowek [Little Krakow]. At that time, the community extended from the Strykower highway to beyond the Jewish besoylem [cemetery] to the surrounding hills. The Polish noblewoman, Anna Lasocka, had brought the first weavers from afar into this community. Then the community developed even further and began to broaden its borders. At that time, the town already carried the name Brzezin. Jewish tailors came to Brzezin from many places, and after several generations, the town developed its own type of tailoring industry, by which it was known all over the world. A cottage industry was the main occupation here. As early as 1772, Brzezin was famous for its mass production in tailoring. Until 1914 the great Czarist Russia was flooded with the inexpensive products of Brzeziner tailors. In the years between the two world wars, the export of Brzezin industry was spread over many lands in Europe and into other parts of the world. In this, the great Jewish magaziners [owners of clothing enterprises] exporters such as Frankensztejn, Tuszynski, Sulkowicz, and others played a great role. The Jews in Brzezin did not only work, they also participated actively in the socio-political and cultural life of the town, had their representatives on the town council in town hall, and had their religious and secular educational, cultural, and social organizations. Materially, it was a life of Jewish poverty, but spiritually, socially, and culturally, it was rich.

1st edition thus. Original Wrappers. 8vo. 15 pages. 23 cm. Nazi-era abridged and condensed version of an article originally published in Fortune magazine, and later published by Random House. This booklet presented by the Editors of Digest and Review. The Jewish Problem has become violently acute in recent years. What is anti-Semitism? How does it start? Does it exist in the United States? Is it true that Jews control industry, business, public opinion? [ ] The Editors of Fortune undertook to make such an impartial survey. Their conclusions, it is safe to say, were totally unexpected both by Jews and non-Jews. The results of this research, appearing originally in Fortune, were later published in book form by Random House. (Publishers Description) In reference to the original appearance of this article in Fortune Isaac Goldberg writes, in his monograph The So-Called Protocols of the Elders of Zion , It proves, once again beyond the slightest doubt, that the Jew despite this prominent person or the other, is not anything like the power in national affairs invented by the Protocol-terrorizers.
