Hardcover, viii, 345 pages, 8vo, 23 cm. Postwar look at the problems of denazification and reconstruction. Almond (1911-2002) was "a U. S. Political scientist, credited with inventing modern comparative political science. Born in Rock Island, Illinois, Almond was the son of Russian and Ukrainian immigrants. His father was a rabbi. A student at the University of Chicago, he went on to earn his doctorate in 1938; but his thesis, Plutocracy and Politics in New York City, was not published until 1998. The work contained psychoanalyses of several wealthy New Yorkers, including unflattering references to John D. Rockefeller, a principal benefactor of the university. Charles Merriam, chair of the political science department, refused to recommend the thesis for publication unless the offending material was removed. Almond refused. The thesis remained in the stacks of the University of Chicago library, where it became an underground classic among scholars. It was finally published by Westview Press. Almond taught political science at Brooklyn College from 1939. During World War II he was head of the Enemy Information Section at the War Information Office (1942-44) . After the war he was professor of political science at Princeton, Yale, and Stanford. He also taught at universities in England, Japan, Brazil, and the Ukraine. He was elected chairman of the Social Science Research Council's Committee on Comparative Politics and, in 1966, president of the American Political Science Association. Almond's Appeals of Communism (1954) , an empirical study of the attractions and weaknesses of Communism, was significant for its treatment of the psycho-sociological background of political behavior.

Softbound. 8vo. 448 pages. 22 cm. First edition. In German. Title translates as: 'Final solution': Nazi population policy and the murder of the European Jews. The author, Gotz Aly, born 1947, was an independent left-wing journalist for many years after being expelled from public institutions in 1976 under the Radicals Decree. In the last twenty years he has published a number of extensively researched volumes on the holocaust. His Final Solution analyses the direct linkage between the Nazi population movements and the extermination of the Jews. Making extensive use of Russian, German, and Polish archives, Aly has provided the most exact and detailed reconstruction of the Final Solution yet achieved. As well as looking at the ideological imperative in the Nazi state to solve the Jewish question and at Hitler's own role, Aly investigates the actions of those running the Reich Security Headquarters in Berlin and of those numerous lesser figures on the ground who were in the eye of the storm, grappling with the planning failures inherent in Nazi resettlement plans and experiencing mounting difficulties in trying to be rid of their Jews. Aly illustrates, through the evidence he builds into an overall mosaic, the lunacy of Nazi race policy, and the variety of agencies that went into the gradual shaping of a policy of all-out genocide. (American publishers description) . Gotz Aly, long a marginalized intellectual, in recognition of his precise historical research, was honored by the German President Horst Kohler with an appointment to the board of trustees of the Jewish Museum Berlin.

Stiff wrappers. 12mo. 54 pages. 20 cm. First and only edition. In English with some German. Reports and Addresses of the Annual Meeting of the American Federation of Jews from Central Europe. The American Federation of Jews from Central Europe was the central representative agency of over thirty local and national organizations established by Jewish victims of Nazism from Central Europe in the United States. It was incorporated in New York in 1941 to safeguard their rights and to sponsor social service programs. The Annual Report from 1956 contains a central essay, After Ten Years in Germany which details the overall dismal state of German consciousness, the fact that anti-semitism is still very present, the experiences of German Jews, the many hundreds if not thousands of war criminals who have not faced sentencing or even arrest, the lack of direction in the U. N for truly attempting to prosecute for genocide, etc. From the introductory remarks: Since our Annual Meeting many rather important things have developed: The new Federal Indemnification Law was passed by the German Parliament and published on June 29, 1956; a new decree has been issued by the Boon government regulating the claims of former officials and employees of Jewish communities and organizations in Germany; and through our effort a General Ruling has been issued by the Treasury Department in Washington according to which all indemnification payments, including pensions, received from Germany are not taxable under the Federal Internal Revenue Code.

The conference "The American Institute on Judaism and a Just and Enduring Peace was held at the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, Ohio, from Dec. 21 to Dec. 24, 1942." Program, report, and results of the conference held at the founding of the American Institute on Judaism and a Just and Enduring Peace. Creation of a 'World Council of Christianity and Judaism' and establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine after the war were urged yesterday in a statement issued by the 'American Institute on Judaism and a Just and Enduring Peace' at the close of its four-day session at the Hebrew Union College here. The statement also demanded the creation by the United Nations of a tribunal to try 'those responsible for the perpetration of crimes against humanity, ' and the removal of all racial barriers. Discussing Jewish post-war reconstruction, the leading rabbis and laymen from all sections of the country who participated in the Institute stressed that after victory has been achieved by the Allied Nations, the Jews, who were among the chief victims of the Nazis, must be given homes and opportunities to rehabilitate themselves. - 'World Inter-faith Council is Urged by Institute on Judaism', JTA Archive, December 27, 1942.

Original Wraps. 12mo. 16 pages. 20 cm. First edition. Holocaust-era Statement of Withdrawal of the AJC from the American Jewish Conference. A contemporary news report described the withdrawal as such: The withdrawal of the American Jewish Committee from the American Jewish Conference was announced here last night following a full-day session of its executive committee attended by seventy-five leading representatives of Jewish communities throughout the country. The session was presided over by Jacob Blaustein, chairman of the General Committee. Protesting this decision, three Zionist members of the American Jewish Committee resigned and telegraphed other members urging them to do likewise. A statement on the position of the American Jewish Committee, presented by its president Joseph M. Proskauer, declared that 'the present demand for the eventual establishment of a Jewish Commonwealth in Palestine, made by the American Jewish Conference, and constituting one of its major decisions, as well as the subordination of other Jewish issues to the problem of the political structure of Palestine, are in such essential disagreement with the fundamental views of the American Jewish Committee that in the best interests of Jews in this and other countries, including Palestine, the Committee feels impelled to withdraw from the American Jewish Conference. ' The statement reaffirms the desire of the American Jewish Committee 'to utilize for the Jews of Europe the broadest opportunities which Palestine can offer. ' It assures that the Committee 'will apply its most diligent efforts to bring about the abrogation of the White Paper which closes the doors of Palestine to further Jewish immigration and restricts Jewish land purchase. ' At the same time it expresses the conviction that the problems of world Jewry cannot be solved by a single political panacea and that 'the salvation and rehabilitation of the stricken Jews of Europe cannot be achieved through Palestine alone and certainly not through overemphasis on the political constitution of Palestine. It can be achieved only by considering Palestine a part of the larger program which looks to the rehabilitation and resettlement of Jews throughout the world and the restoration of their equal rights. - JTA October 26, 1943.

Topics include UN and governmental decisions regarding Palestine, the death of former British Prime Minister Lloyd George, Russian and South African Jewish representatives to the Conference, and upcoming radio program related to the Conference. The American Jewish Conference [was a] representative American organization established in 1943 at the initiative of B'nai B'rith to deal with the problems of Palestine and the European Holocaust. Originally composed of representatives of all major Jewish groups and delegates from local Jewish communities, the Conference was given direction from Zionist bodies which sought a pro-Zionist declaration by a body representing American Jewry as a whole. Such a declaration was overwhelmingly adopted at its New York assembly in August 1943. As a result, the American Jewish Committee seceded from the Conference. Nevertheless, the organization submitted a series of pro-Zionist statements to official national and international bodies and waged a public relations campaign until its dissolution in 1949.

1st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 197 pages. Compiled by the Office of General Counsel European Headquarters American Joint Distribution Committee. "The primary mission of the American (Jewish) Joint Distribution Committee (AJDC) in Europe, has been to rehabilitate and reestablish or resettle the remnants of European Jewry left by Hitler's Germany. In accomplishing this mission, it became very obvious in the days immediately following the war, that one of the most difficult legal problems preventing the reestablishment of European Jewry in their countries of nationality, or in other countries all over the world, was the problem of obtaining declarations of death in the several European countries. The related problem of obtaining recognition and faith and credit from courts of other nations all over the world offered even more difficulties. It was clear that there was no uniform method of issuing cleclarations of death, nor was there any uniform approach by the other nations to recognize declarations of death.

1st edition. Trifold pamphlet. 8vo, [4] pages. Early Nazi-era publication distributed by the American League Against War and Fascism, with warnings primarily for the US. Includes form for membership. "These aspects of Fascism are beginning to develop here [in the US]. Our National Recovery program is concentrating authority in the hands of the executives. But the facts of wages, prices, the administration of the codes and the labor boards show that the real power is being concentrated still more in the hands of the most powerful and repressive monopolistic groups of financiers and industrialists. All the resources of the state are being used in the attempt to restore the broken down capitalist system. Again both labor and capital are being regulated. But increasingly, the right to strike, the only real defense of labor, is being taken away, and the alleged protection of the government substituted for it. But in the agencies of government which are supposed to administer this protection, labor finds the employers and their representatives entrenched in power. This taking away of the resistance power of labor is an infallible sign of Fascism. " Subjects: Fascism -- United States.
