After the war homeless children will be numerous and will present a great problem.

Spiral bound leaves, xerographic production as issued. 4to. Ii, 117pages. 28 cm. First edition. Presented to Dr. Nathan M. Kaganoff April, 1971. A detailed examination of the response of Jewish communities in New York City and Boston to overt and increasingly politicized antisemitism during the late 1930s through the 1940s. This study begins by describing the incidents of overt anti-Semitism in two specific places at a particular time, and by investigating the Jewish response to them. This is followed by evaluation of the role of public opinion within the Boston and New York Jewish communities and that of the non-Jewish press in pressuring Mayor LA Guardia of New York City and Governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts to take action against the assaults on Jewish children.

Original Wrappers. 8vo. Xi, 327 pages. 22 cm. Illustrated. Later Edition. Originally published in London by Julian Friedmann Publishers, 1975. Contains portraits of Auschwitz prisoners and resistance members, as well as black and white period photographs of the camp and SS officers. An important piece by a camp survivor and Polish Home Army member discussing resistance within Aushwitz. There are already a great many books on Auschwitz; a full list of books and articles on it would run to over seven thousand items. Why add another? Because it deals systematically for the first time with an element in the life of the camp that does extraordinary credit to its prisoners: the resistance movement that was created inside it and that, even in those conditions, the SS could never destroy. The author was for a short time a forced inmate himself, which gives him a special claim to touch the subject. Before he went there, he had been in resistance outside, as an officer of the Armia Krajowa, the Polish Home Army that was later decimated in the Warsaw rising.

Hardback. 8vo. XIII, 183 pages. 22 cm. First edition. The Double Binds of Ethics after the Holocaust sheds new light on the ethical repercussions of the Nazi genocide against the Jews. Contributors focus on two key dilemmas: first, that the Holocaust did immense harm to ethics by undermining confidence in beliefs about the fundamental status of ethical values, including human rights. Second, the Holocaust and subsequent genocides have destroyed confidence that human beings will fulfill their moral obligations better next time. Responding to these double binds, the contributors to this book explore what can be done in ethical theory and practice to respond effectively to the impact of the Holocaust and genocide. Its chapters not only assess the weakness of ethics in standing firmly and effectively against human-made destruction but also indicate steps of salvage and retrieval that need to be taken if ethics is to be a significant presence in a world still besieged by genocide and atrocity.

Publishers cloth. 4to. 224 pages. 26 cm. First American edition. Includes 150 black and white photographic plates. Six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis in the Second World War. More than half of them--men, women and children--were brought hundreds and even thousands of miles across Europe to their deaths, forced into sealed railway trucks and shunted towards the unknown. Who were these people? Where did they come from? At what point did they know what was to become of them? How did they conduct themselves in these final days, and hours? Here, Martin Gilbert relates the fate of Jewish communities as far scattered as France and Rumania, Holland and Greece, plucked out from every corner of Europe, uprooted from their homes, separated from their loved ones, tortured, starved, shot and gassed, under barbaric conditions. On their way to death, no torment was spared them. Their journeys were a transition from hardship to hell: millions of unknown sagas of tragedy, courage, humanity and despair. Yet some, miraculously, survived. (publisher description) . Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Holocaust. Light shelf wear. Very good condition in good jacket. (HOLO2-102-30)
