Cloth. 8vo. 138 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Dutch. Beige cloth over boards, with ten black and white illustrations by Henk Hulshof. Title translates as: Exile, six months hostage in Haaren. Hans Leenderts was the alias of the hostage J. Th. B. Hoff, a teacher from Ruurlo. The municipality of Haaren was used from 1941 through 1941 as a prison camp for eliminating political prisoners and members of the resistance, as well as a camp for hostages of the general Dutch population being held by the SS to supposedly curb resistance and opposition. Among the hostages were 150 leaders from business, 133 people from the professions, 60 professors and teachers, 103 officers, 60 chaplains, three trade union leaders and five students. Twice, on 15 August 1942 and October 16, 1942, (a total of 85) Haaren hostages were shot. In 1944, 3, 500 of those held in the camps were deported to Saxenhausen or Ravensbruck.

1st edition thus. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 629-648. Contains two articles, Concordat Between the Holy See and Germany (1933) , originally printed in the Australasian Catholic Record, and The Church Under the Swastika (1939) , originally printed in The World Problem. The first article talks about the details of the Concordat, concluding that, "The events of the past five years have not justified the sanguine hopes for the progress of the Church which were entertained by many when the historic agreement was signed by His Eminence Cardinal Eugene Pacelli (who is now Pope Pius XII) and Herr Franz Von Papen as Plenipotentiaries of the Holy See and the German Reich respectively. Nevertheless it would be premature to say that such a historic achievement has come to nought. " (page 673) The second article discusses how the Catholic church is under attack, talking about how Catholic schools are shutting down, "Catholic publications are disappearing one by one, " and "Catholic manifestations, such as pilgrimages and processions, have been completely suppressed, " among other things. It is said, though, "But in spite of all this, it seems that the Church as a whole⦠has not suffered many great losses. " (page 641) Subjects: Church and state -- Germany -- History -- 20th century.

Publishers cloth. 8vo. XIX, 216 pages. 24 cm. First edition. Winner of the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism. This important and original book is the first sustained analysis of the unique ways in which oral testimony of survivors contributes to our understanding of the Holocaust. It also sheds light on the forms and functions of memory as victims relive devastating experiences of pain, humiliation, and loss. Drawing on the Fortunoff Video Archives for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale University, Lawrence L. Langer shows how oral Holocaust testimonies complement historical studies by enabling us to confront the human dimensions of the catastrophe. Quoting extensively from these interviews, Langer develops a technique for interpreting them as we might a written text. He contrasts written and oral narratives, noting that while survivor memoirs by authors such as Primo Levi and Charlotte Delbo transform reality through style, imagery, chronology, or a coherent moral vision, oral testimonies resist these organizing impulses and allow instead a kind of unshielded truth to emerge, just as powerful in its impact as the visions taking shape in written memoirs. He argues that it is necessary to deromanticize the survival experience and that to burden it with accolades about the indomitable human spirit is to slight its painful complexity and ambivalence. Finally he explores the perplexing task of establishing a meaningful connection between consequential living and inconsequential dying, between moral striving and the sprit of anguish and sense of a diminished self that pervades these haunting Holocaust testimonies.

1st edition. Stapled. [4] leaves. 38 cm. Single sided typed transcription of the speech Alfred M. Landon gave by radio to a mass meeting in Madison Square Garden. Thousands of persons gathered tonight in the Madison Square Garden, in a rally under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Committee and several cooperating organizations, to hear Christian and Jewish leaders condemn Nazi terrorism in Poland and elsewhere and to adopt resolution protesting against the Lublin Jewish reservation and other aspects of Reich persecution. The audience cheered speeches and resolutions which branded Germany as an enemy of civilization, warned that Nazi oppression threatened not alone the Jews but Christians and all of mankind, and called for renewed efforts to safeguard democracy and equal rights in this country. ("Nazi Terrorism, Reds Assailed at Mass Rally of All Faiths Here. " Jewish Telegraphic Agency 14 Dec 1939.) The American Jewish Congress and Jewish Labor Committee planned today to send a delegation to Washington in the near future to present to the Government a resolution adopted at last night's mass meeting of 20, 000 persons in the Madison Square Garden appealing to President Roosevelt to express to the German Government America's abhorrence and condemnation of oppression in Poland. The resolution was adopted after the capacity audience--it was announced that 8, 000 had been turned away--had heard Herbert Hoover, Alfred M. Landon, Mayor LaGuardia, William Green, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and others denounce anti-Jewish bestialities in Poland. An impressive part of the program was the chanting of El Mole Rachamim by a chorus of the Jewish Cantors-Ministers Association. Thousands in the audience, on the platform and even in the press section shed tears during the memorial prayer for the victims of the occupation of Poland. Hoover, who arrived unexpectedly, coming by airplane from Chicago, read a message which he had sent previously (JTA NEWS DEC. 14) , in which he denounced the bestialities visited upon the people of the Jewish faith. Mayor LaGuardia, who had come in by plane with Hoover, denounced those who are responsible for the outrages and the cruelties which are being inflicted upon hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and the new cruelty of exploited, occupied lands that were taken contrary to all rules of civilization. He declared there is being crystallized throughout the country today, throughout the world, a public opinion that will be visited upon the culprits not only in their day but for centuries to come. Landon, speaking by radio from Topeka, said that this evening you are expressing the conscience of America, a conscience that refuses to be silent in the midst of persecution. He declared: The time will come when the plain, average people of Germany will want to return to the amenities of international life. Decent treatment of all minority civilian groups will have a profound effect on our future respect for and appreciation of the German people. ("Roosevelt to Get Rallys Resolution Asking Action on Nazi Oppression. " Jewish Telegraphic Agency 15 Dec 1939.) Alfred M.

1st edition, original wrappers, 8vo. 46 pages, in German. Title translates to: Contributions to the Khazar Problem. Holocaust-era Jewish imprint from Germany defending the theory that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews descended from the Khazar kingdom rather than from the ancient Middle-Eastern Israelites. Significant in the context of Nazi-Germany because of the use by Antisemites of the Khazar theory to label modern European Jews as fakes. It is historically attested that for some 150 years Judaism was the official religion of the Khazars, a nation occupying the region between the Don and the Caspian; its chief monument in Jewish literature is the correspondence between the Spanish diplomat Hasdai ibn Shaprut and the Khazar sovereign Joseph. Grätz in his Geschichte der Juden (vol. V) gives an epitome of these documents, without questioning their genuineness; that, however, has been frequently disputed, and the purpose of this pamphlet is to rebut the arguments adduced in favor of their being forgeries of a later period. One of these is based on the Messianic hopes expressed by Hasdai, but Herr Landau is able to show that such were commonly harboured by Hasdais contemporaries. He is further able to produce a number of parallels to the phraseology of the letter from the writings of Menahem b. Saruk, who acted as Hasdais secretary. In the second part of his pamphlet he defends against Kokovcoc the authenticity of a document published by Schechter from the Geniza- collection in Cambridge, ostensibly of the tenth century, and which Herr Landau holds to have been addressed to Hasdai, and indeed to have been the source of the knowledge displayed in his letter about the affairs of the Khazars.
