Softbound. 8vo. VII, 406, [16] pages. 22 cm. First English edition. Translation of Degalim me-`al ha-Geto. Publishers description: In this groundbreaking work, Israels former Minister of Defense, Professor Moshe Arens, recounts a true tale of daring, courage, and sacrifice that should be accurately told out of respect for and in homage to the fighters who rose against the German attempt to liquidate the Warsaw ghetto, and made a last-ditch fight for the honor of the Jewish people. The generally accepted account of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is incomplete. The truth begins with the existence of not one, but two resistance organizations in the ghetto. Two young men, Mordechai Anielewicz of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB) , and Pawel Frenkel of the Jewish Military Organization (ZZW) , rose to lead separate resistance organizations in the ghetto, which did not unite despite the desperate battle they were facing. Included is the complete text of The Stroop Report translated into English. Subjects: World War, 1939-1945 - Jewish resistance - Poland - Warsaw. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Poland - Warsaw.

Included is the gripping account of a peasant who risks his life to hide Jews; the tracking down and public execution of an informer virtually under the eyes of the German garrison; and a heart-warming love story about two orphans who join the partisans and ultimately begin a new life together in Israel. (Dustjacket description) The author, Isaac Aron, was born near Vilna, was Hebrew principal in Krashnik before the occupation; he successfully escaped the ghetto of Miory when it was liquidated and formed a partisan group, he began writing poetry in the Ghetto, and after four years in DP camps, emigrated to Brooklyn; this is his first published volume in English.

Sorrow Without a Home, post-holocaust poetry, with some pre-war poems, by Israel Aszendorf; published in Paris by the Yiddish Writers Club, illustrated by the famous Jewish artist, Benn. With frontispiece portrait of the author. Israel Ashendorf (19091956) , Yiddish poet, short story writer, and dramatist. Ashendorf grew up and lived in Lemberg (Lwow) , Galicia (now Lviv, Ukraine) , until World War II, when he fled to Uzbekistan. He spent five years in Paris and immigrated to Argentina in 1953. In Buenos Aires he served as supervisor of Jewish secular schools, taught Hebrew and Yiddish literature, and contributed to the Yidishe Tsaytung. His first poems were published in 1927, and thereafter he contributed to Yiddish periodicals in Europe, the Americas, and Israel. In 1929, he was co-editor of the literary journal Tsushtayer. Collections of his poetry were published in 1937, 1939, 1941, 1950, and 1956. His biblical dramas Der Meylekh Shoel (King Saul, 1948) and Der Meylekh Dovid (King David, 1956) express a pessimistic worldview.

Softbound. 8vo. 264 pages. 24 cm. In German with parallel English and French translations. Extended title: Bureaucrat of death; a documentation showing the capital guild of Bonn's top official in the liquidation of the Jews. Published by the Committee for German Unity, an East German governmental committee. As the title indicates, this work constitutes an extensive documentation of the Nazi past of Hans Globke, Director of the Federal Chancellory of West Germany between 1953 and 1963 and as such one of the closest aides to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. Globke's key position as a national security advisor to Adenauer despite his involvement with the Office for Jewish Affairs during the Holocaust and in anticommunist activities in post-war West Germany made both the West German government and CIA officials wary of exposing his past. This led for instance to the withholding of Adolf Eichmann's alias from the Israeli government and Nazi hunters in the late '50s, and CIA pressure in 1960 on Life magazine to delete references to Globke from its recently obtained Eichmann memoirs. An interesting period piece for post-war German history, which serves as a searing indictment of the hushed up nazi histories of many members of the ruling class of West Germany. Subjects: Jews - Persecutions - Germany - History - Sources. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Germany - Sources. Globke, Hans, 1898-1973. Germany - Politics and government - 1933-1945 Sources.

Title of the set: France During the Dark Years; individual volumes titled: From the defeat in Vichy and From Occupation to the Liberation. This two volume set, consisting of period documents and numerous essays from various specialists, constitutes one of the most important contemporary scholarly works on Vichy France. Jean-Pierre Azema is the author of several prominent historical works; a specialist of World War II, and more specifically of the Vichy Regime and the French Resistance; lecturer of history at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris. He was also one of the historians called as witness for the trial of Maurice Papon, (alongside Marc-Olivier Baruch, Robert O. Paxton and Philippe Burrin) ; as well as one of the authors of the film Lil de Vichy (The eye of Vichy) by Claude Chabrol. François Bédarida (1926-2001) was one of the best-known French historians in Britain. He wrote many books about English history and society; he taught from 1950-56 at the Institut Français in South Kensington; he was director of the Maison Française in Oxford (1966-70) ; he was the secretary general of the International Committee of Historical Science from 1990 until recently; he lectured at universities throughout Britain; and as the founder and director of Paris's Institut d'Histoire du Temps Présent from 1978-92, and subsequently, he wrote and edited many books and articles about the second world war and its effects on France, which are of the greatest interest to the British. Born in Lyons, but moving soon to Paris, where his father was professor of Italian at the Sorbonne, he studied at the Lycées Louis-le-Grand and Henri IV. As a student, the young Bédarida served in the Resistance and was associated with Témoignage Chrétien, the movement that was in the forefront of the attack on the evils of Nazism and anti-Semitism.
