Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 8 pages. 23 cm. Holocaust-era Publication by the Medical Committee of the organization Conference on Jewish Relations; this sociological study outlines the findings of research into the medical profession, the ratio of Jewish doctors to population, their dispersal geographically in the United States (with an accompanying map) , and proposals for the need to eliminate the quota system in the higher education system which prevents Jews from entering into diverse professions, as well as a proposal for where doctors in exile from the troubles in Europe can emigrate to (specifically, areas with low concentrations, not only of Jewish doctors, but doctors in general) . What is the status of Jews in the field of medicine, and what are their prospects? Are too many of them crowding the profession or are many turned away unjustly? How extensive or justified is the limitation on Jews in medical schools, on hospital staffs, or in certain specialized medical societies? Has our general standard of medical practice been sufficiently high to deserve greater prestige? What does the future hold out for us and what if anything should we do about it? The Conference on Jewish Relations has been studying these and other questions in the conviction that there can be no sound policies of proper adjustment to our fellow citizens without an adequate basis of accurate information as to the actual conditions. The piece also outlines, besides the systemic Antisemitism of the higher university system, the social Antisemitism of towns and locales wherein hotels or businesses bar Jews from admittance, owing to the presence of Nazi and K K K organizations, the same types of groups who repeatedly stereotype the Jew practicing medicine. Includes original laid-in business reply envelope of the Conference on Jewish Relations. The Conference on Jewish Relations was later known as the Conference on Jewish Social Studies; the Conference published the journal Jewish Social Studies. Subjects: Jewish physicians.

Original Wrappers. 12 mo. 15 pages. 19 cm. First edition. Holocaust-era detailed summary of the anti-fascist activities of the Jewish Peoples Committee. Demanding a forceful and militant approach to anti-fascist organizing worldwide, the Jewish Peoples Committee goes as far as accusing organizations, such as the American Jewish Congress and American Jewish Committee of passively allowing and ignoring antisemitic threats. The concise and polemical essay ends with a rousing call to DESTROY ANTI-SEMITISM! ABOLISH DISCRIMINATION! DEFEND DEMOCRACY AND PEACE! (Page 15) The Jewish People's Committee against Fascism and Anti-Semitism was formed in 1939, when the American Jewish Congress rejected applicants from the leftist International Workers Organization.

1st Separate Edition. 6 X 13 Inches : Text Front and Back, accompanied by a photo of Gruen. Reprinted from The American Hebrew, November 1, 1940. By the 1930s, significantly-sized Jewish communities had grown up around farming towns like Farmingdale, New Jersey. The farmers built synagogues and community centers, held religious services, and celebrated Jewish holidays together. During the Depression, they raised money to help those in need, and during the years of World War II, they collected money, knitted, and sent care packages to Jews overseas. They also absorbed some of the Displaced Persons who arrived in the U. S. And were willing to work on farms. Indeed, some of these D. P. S even established their own farms, with the help of the Jewish Agricultural Society. Oscar Gruen was himself a recently arrived European refugee and was the Associate Publisher and Editor of the American Hebrew at the time of this articles publication. Gruen (1890-1953) was also the founding editor of the first Jewish news bureau, the Juedische Pressezentrale, which published a weekly edition in Zurich from 1917 to 1940. Grün began the Pressezentrale in the wake of World War I in order to counteract what he saw as international agitation against Jews. In 1919, Grün was a member of the committee which, under the leadership of Louis Marshall, presented the Jewish case to the Paris Peace Conference and secured the inclusion of the "minority rights clause" in the various constitutions of the newly established states in Central Europe. As editor of one of the worlds leading Jewish periodicals, Grün witnessed firsthand many of the most important Jewish-related events of the time, including the 20th Zionist Congress (1937) and the Evian Conference (1938) .

1st edition thus. Original Wrappers. 8vo. 15 pages. 23 cm. Nazi-era abridged and condensed version of an article originally published in Fortune magazine, and later published by Random House. This booklet presented by the Editors of Digest and Review. The Jewish Problem has become violently acute in recent years. What is anti-Semitism? How does it start? Does it exist in the United States? Is it true that Jews control industry, business, public opinion? [ ] The Editors of Fortune undertook to make such an impartial survey. Their conclusions, it is safe to say, were totally unexpected both by Jews and non-Jews. The results of this research, appearing originally in Fortune, were later published in book form by Random House. (Publishers Description) In reference to the original appearance of this article in Fortune Isaac Goldberg writes, in his monograph The So-Called Protocols of the Elders of Zion , It proves, once again beyond the slightest doubt, that the Jew despite this prominent person or the other, is not anything like the power in national affairs invented by the Protocol-terrorizers.

1st edition, original cloth with dust jacket, 8vo. 218 pages. 25 cm. "Joseph Albo on Free Choice discovers unsuspected philosophical originality in the interpretations of biblical narrative found in Joseph Albo's Book of Principles, one of the most popular Hebrew works in the corpus of medieval Jewish philosophy. Several of Albo's exegetical analyses focus on free choice, which emerges as a conceptual scheme throughout his work. An exploration of Albo's innovative homiletical interpretations of the binding of Isaac, the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, the Book of Job, and God's choice of Israel, reveals his view of free choice which was significant during a historical period of religious coercion. Albo's sole surviving responsum dealing with the case of the qatlanit further demonstrates his philosophical position. In this new book, Shira Weiss shows that in the medieval era in which Albo lived, free choice was an important topic, subject to vehement debate that has continued to be contested in modern philosophy" (abstract) SUBJECT(S) : Philosophy, Medieval.
