Publishers cloth. 8vo. VIII, 259 pages. 24 cm. First edition. The fiftieth anniversary of World War II and the Holocaust inspired new memoirs, documentaries and historical studies, but few examined the hundreds of personal stories of Italians who tried to rescue Jewish people from certain death, and the important role played in those efforts by the Catholic Church, especially by Pope Pius XII and many parishes and religious orders of men and women. Mainly using untapped oral histories of Italian Jews and Catholics, this book shows that Catholics in Italy who saved Jews firmly believed they were doing so in consonance with the Pope's wishes. Readers will get to know these courageous individuals through their inspiring memoirs. Yours is a Precious Witness strives to draw a more personal portrait of Pius XII. He spoke loudly - not in words, which would have resulted in Nazi retaliations, but in actions that directly saved thousands of Jews. Convents, monasteries and papal buildings in Italy became havens for refugees. (Publishers description) Subjects: Jews - Persecutions - Italy. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Italy.

Paperback. 8vo. XXII, 214 pages. 22 cm. Second edition. In Nazi-occupied France, 4-year-old Ruth Kapp learns that it is dangerous to use her own name. As a relative of German Jews, she and her family are targeted for deportation. In the narrative, Ruth recounts her experiences as a young Jewish girl in war-torn France, and the courage of ordinary people from the French countryside who risked their lives to protect her and her family as they flee from one home to another, one step ahead of the Gestapo. Separated from her parents, Ruth spends the rest of the war in a Catholic convent and told to forget her parents and religion. A paper bag containing a few pieces of candy smuggled to her is her only clue that her parents are still alive. Years after the war, she returns to France and once again journeys into the countryside to find out what happened to the families that looked after her. (Back cover description) .

German soldiers first passed through Ratne at the end of June 1941, but Nazi rule was established in the town only in July. Between the retreat of the Soviets and the arrival of German security forces and administrators, locals plundered Jewish homes and businesses. Shortly after the Germans arrived, they shot 27 Jews and 30 Soviet prisoners of war. Acting through the Ukrainian police, they also introduced an array of anti-Jewish measures: Jews had to wear identifying armbands (later yellow patches) , comply with a curfew, hand in valuables, including ritual objects, and provide forced labor. It was forbidden for Jews to speak to Ukrainians. As early as July 1941, Jews from the countryside were already being relocated to Ratne. In the spring of 1942, a ghetto was set up there. After a partisan raid on Ratne in June 1942, the Germans shot more than 110 Jews, along with a few Ukrainians. The Destruction of the Jewish Community. In August, the Germans recruited Ukrainian peasants from Prokhid to dig pits at a nearby sand lot. On August 26, the ghetto was liquidated by a unit from the Gestapo outpost in Brest supported by the local German Gendarmerie post and Ukrainian auxiliary police force. Although several hundred Jews fled before they could be taken to Prokhid. Many others hid in the ghetto. Most were eventually caught and murdered as well. Between 1, 300 and 1, 500 Jewish men, women, and children were killed during this operation. A few dozen skilled laborers were left alive and employed in a workshop. They were shot in February 1943.

1st edition. Original wrappers. 8vo. 58 pages, 30 cm. In German. Title translates to Knowing the Land. Published just after the war as Jewish refugee children were being brought to Palestine. This mimeograph publication appears to be for use in teaching those children about the land to which they are about to emigrate. In 1929, the Palestine Zionist Executive was renamed, restructured and officially inaugurated as The Jewish Agency for Palestine by the 16th Zionist Congress, held in Zurich, Switzerland. The new body was larger and included a number of Jewish non-Zionist individuals and organizations, who were interested in Jewish settlement in Palestine. They were philanthropic rather than political, and many opposed talk of a Jewish State. With this broader Jewish representation, the Jewish Agency for Palestine was recognized by the British in 1930, in lieu of the Zionist Organization, as the appropriate Jewish agency under the terms of the Mandate (Wikipedia, 2018) .
