ISBN-13: 9780817318000. Cloth, 8vo, 232 pages. Eva Goldschmidt Wyman, tells her family's story, and that of thousand of others, who escaped from Nazi Germany to Chile in the 1930s and 1940s, a time when the Chilean Nazi party was active in Chile's major institutions. The book is based primarily on interviews with German Jewish refugees, family correspondence, and research in German and Chilean primary sources from the period. It begins with an intimate account of Jews in Germany in the 1930s as conditions for Jews deteriorated. Wyman recounts Kristallnacht in Stuttgart, where her father was principal of the Jewish school, his imprisonment in Dachau, and his release and immigration to Great Britain. Escaping Hitler details her familys escape from Nazi Germany and subsequent life in Chile, providing an intimate look at daily life on the steam ship Conte Grande during the voyage from Italy to Chile in 1939, as well as Nazi espionage and anti-Semitic activity in Chile and the Nazi influence in South America in general. Recounted in an intimate and personal style, Escaping Hitler immerses the reader in an extraordinary chapter of contemporary Jewish history both inside Germany and South America. It is an augmented translation of her earlier work in Spanish, Huyendo del Infierno Nazi: La Inmigración Judio-Alemana hacia Chile en los Años Treinta (Santiago, RIL, 2008). Escaping Hitler brings new material to the English speaking audience and as such is a contribution to Holocaust history. It is a fascinating and informative read presenting a well-researched and well-documented story of German Jewish refugees in Chile and their complicated encounters with German and Nazi immigrants.Steven B.

Original Wraps. 12mo. 16 pages. 18 cm. First edition. Critical pamphlet contemporary to the Nuremberg Trials on their historic significance, with a summary of their content and purpose, and a critique; argues that the atrocities committed in Poland against the Polish population (7 million murdered) has been slighted in their exposure in favor of atrocities committed on the soil of the USSR and its satellites. The author gives numerous examples of specific atrocities committed in Poland which should have been included in the trial proceedings, lambasts the trial for not mentioning the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto; ends with the argument that 'totalitarianism' was not utilized as a category in the trial proceedings as this would immediately point to the continuing existence of other totalitarian states, namely, the USSR.

1st edition. Original paper wrappers, 12mo, 16 pages. Includes illustrations and portrait; 19 cm. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Jewish Museum of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. / Cover title: Maurycy Gottlieb 1856-1879. "Maurycy Gottlieb's life story [by] Stephen S. Kayser": pages 6-14./ Includes bibliographical references (page 15) . "Among the founders of modern Jewish art, Maurycy Gottlieb [18561879] is prized in Poland as one of the most talented students of the great national artist Jan Matejko....His Jewish education was not extensive, though he attended heder.... In the course of his brief life he studied at the art schools of Vienna, Kraków, and Munich, and counted among his teachers some of the prominent academic artists of the 1870s. He was not the first Polish Jew to become an artist, but perhaps was the first to aspire to be both a Polish and a Jewish artist. Inspired by the dramatic national historical paintings of Matejko, he too tried his hand at depicting scenes from Polands past and also executed several paintings in the popular orientalist fashion. Yet he also painted a number of works with overtly Jewish subject matter, including a scene of a Jewish wedding, two paintings of the Jewish heterodox philosopher Uriel da Costa, illustrations to Gotthold Lessings play Nathan der Weise (Nathan the Wise) , portraits of several prominent contemporary Jewish figures, and depictions of famous Jewish literary figures (Shylock and Jessica, and Jankiel the musician from Adam Mickiewiczs Pan Tadeusz) . He also produced a number of fascinating and revealing self-portraits, one in the guise of a Polish nobleman, another in Arab dress, and yet another in the clothing of the central European bourgeoisie. His most famous work is his large painting Jews Praying in the Synagogue on the Day of Atonement, executed in 1878....For his Jewish contemporaries, Gottlieb was living proof that Jews could succeed in the plastic arts, just as they had succeeded in literature and music, while Poles praised his patriotism and his efforts to make a place for himself in the world of Polish culture. After his untimely death from complications deriving from a throat infection at the age of 23, Jewish assimilationists, Polish advocates of Jewish acculturation, and representatives of the new Jewish nationalism all claimed him as their own. Gottliebs reputation was kept alive in Poland by several important exhibitions in the interwar period. In Israel his posthumous reputation was greatly enhanced by an exhibition held in 1991, and by the publication of the catalog to this show. There and throughout the Jewish world Gottlieb has come to be regarded not only as a father of Jewish national art, but also as an important witness to the rich Jewish spiritual heritage of Eastern Europe that was destroyed by the Nazis" (YIVO, 2017) .
