194353630Tunisia 1943. Nearly Fine. Five-pointed yellow cloth star sewn onto plain beige cloth 7.3 by 9 cm. Yellow dye somewhat faded else in fine state of preservation.<br /> <br /> Specimen of the yellow star imposed on the Jewish population of Tunisia in March 1943 as a mark of the slave laboror. Tunisia was the only Islamic country to come under Nazi rule at first indirectly through the Vichy regime in France between 1940 and its liberation by Allied forces on May 7 1943. In response to the Allied invasion of Algeria and Morocco German and Italian forces invaded Tunisia on November 9 1942. By the end of November the Germans took the first anti-Jewish move by arresting four of the community leaders including Moïse Borgel the president of the Jewish congregation. "In addition to the governor-general's sympathetic attitude -- and in some degree to the pro-Jewish attitude of Bey Sidi Mohammed al-Mounsaf -- the Italians also in practice interfered with the application of the anti-Jewish laws" E.H. The dignitaries were released after a week following the intervention of the mayor of Tunis and the Italian consul. Because of objections by the Italians the edict to wear the star does not appear to have been generally enforced with rigor and was only formally imposed in two cities Sfax and Tunis. While 5000 Jews had originally been put on forced labor in thirty locations and camps along the front line "at the time of the collapse and surrenter in early May 1943 only sixteen hundred Jews were employed on forced labor" E.H. Given the relatively small labor force and the lack of zeal in imposing the anti-Jewish ordinances it is clear why so few of these yellow badges have survived. References: I. Gutman ed.

194343453London New York; Published on Behalf of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs by Hutchinson & Co 1943. 1st edition. Original illustrated red and white paper wrappers. 8vo. 16 pages. 22 cm. National Government Publication. Printed in red and black ink. Includes a note by Polish Foreign Minister Edward Raczynski and speeches by Deputy Prime Minister Stanislaw Mikolajczyk.<br> The official 16-page diplomatic publication from December 1942 by the Polish Government-in-Exile in London marking a turning point in international understanding of the Nazi destruction of the Jews of Europe. <br> Jan Karski a courier for the Polish Underground had smuggled microfilmed evidence and intelligence out of occupied Poland to London. This raw intelligence gathered from his time secretly inside the Warsaw Ghetto and the Izbica transit camp formed the core of the facts published in the booklet.<br> <br> "In October 1942 at the height of the destruction of Polish Jewry Jan Karski born Jan Kozielewski was ordered to clandestinely go to the West and deliver a report on the situation of occupied Poland to the Polish government-in-exile in London. The situation of the Jews in Poland was to be one section of that report. Since the government in exile was concerned with the internal politics of Poland's underground parties Karski held meetings with the different factions including the Jewish Zionist and the Jewish Socialist Bund movements. <br> Thus shortly before his departure Karski met with two Jewish leaders who asked him to inform the world's statesmen of the desperate plight of Polish Jewry and of the hopelessness of their situation. Their message was: 'Our entire people will be destroyed.'<br> The Jewish leaders' appeals touched Karski and he decided to see things with his own eyes in order to make his report. With great risk to his life he was smuggled into the Warsaw ghetto and into a camp in the Lublin area. The horrors he witnessed marked him deeply and propelled him to become not only the messenger of the Polish underground but to concentrate on giving voice to the suffering of the dying Jews.<br> In November 1942 Karski reached London delivered the report to the Polish government-in-exile and set out to meet Winston Churchill other politicians journalists and public figures. Upon completing his mission Karski went on to the United States where he met with President Roosevelt and other dignitaries and tried in vain to stir up public opinion against the massacre of the Jews. In 1944 while in the United States Karski wrote a book on the Polish Underground Story of a Secret State with a long chapter on the Jewish Holocaust in Poland.<br> After the war Karski stayed in the United States where he was later appointed Professor at Georgetown University Washington DC.<br> On 2 June 1982 Yad Vashem recognized Jan Karski as Righteous Among the Nations" Yad Vashem. <br> <br> Leading Holocaust scholar Lucy Dawidowicz cites the booklet in her now classic work "The Holocaust and the Historians" Harvard 1983 p. 167; the report could not be more explicit in its description of the horrors nor in its plea for help: <br> "The new methods of mass slaughter applied during the last few months confirm the fact that the German authorities aim with systematic deliberation at the total extermination of the Jewish population of Poland and of the many thousands of Jews whom the German authorities have departed to Poland from Western and Central European countries and from the German Reich itself. The Polish Government considers it their duty to bring to the knowledge of the Governments of all civilised countries the following fully authenticated information received from Poland during recent weeks which indicates all too plainly the new methods of extermination adopted by the German authorities." <br> The report elaborates: "The actual process of deportation was carried out with appalling brutality. At the appointed hour on each day the German police cordoned off a block of houses selected for clearance entered the back yard and fired their guns at random as a signal for all to leave their homes and assemble in the yard. Anyone attempting to escape or to hide was killed on the spot. No attempt was made by the Germans to keep families together. Wives were torn from their husbands and children from their parents. Those who appeared frail or infirm were carried straight to the Jewish cemetery to be killed and buried there. <br> On the average 50-100 people were disposed of in this way daily. After the contingent was assembled the people were packed forcibly into cattle trucks to the number of 120 in each truck which had room for forty. The trucks were then locked and sealed. The Jews were suffocating for lack of air. The floors of the trucks were covered with quicklime and chlorine. As far as is known the trains were dispatched to three localities - Treblinka Belzec and Sobibor to what the reports describe as 'Extermination camps.' <br> The very method of transport was deliberately calculated to cause the largest possible number of casualties among the condemned Jews. It is reported that on arrival in camp the survivors were stripped naked and killed by various means including poison gas and electrocution. The dead were interred in mass graves dug by machinery." <br> <br> Read more about the singular importance of this publication at <br> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mass_Extermination_of_Jews_in_German_Occupied_Poland# . <br> In 2020 Polish Postal authorities chose this very publication to illustrate their official first day cover honoring righteous Poles who had saved Jews during the Holocaust see illustration. <br> <br> Subjects: World War 1939-1945 - Jews - Poland.

1945193462Jerusalem: Published by the Jewish Agency for Palestine / Search Bureau for Missing Relatives 1945. The search for the living First edition of the first major attempt to reunite Jewish families after the Holocaust listing 118000 survivors and their locations. Almost immediately after the war localized lists were published recording survivors from particular camps ghettos and countries. The Jewish Agency for Palestine established the Search Bureau for Missing Relatives to draw these efforts into a comprehensive register. The introduction notes it was published to "facilitate the re-establishment of contact between the remnants of Jewry in Europe and their relations in the Land of Israel and overseas. The Register contains the names of 60000 Jews of various countries saved from the camps and the ghettos who have been registered wherever they were were found following the liberation of Europe from Nazi servitude". It nevertheless cautions readers not to give up hope if a name is absent given the difficulty of compilation amid the chaos of postwar Europe. Lists also appeared in the weekly bulletin Lakarov Ulerahok while search requests were broadcast on Kol Yerushalayim in Jerusalem. Despite the suggestion of "forthcoming volumes" no further were produced. During its years of operation 1945 to 2002 the Bureau handled more than a million enquiries. The volumes are scarce on the market with most surviving copies held institutionally. They remain important reference works for those tracing relatives. 2 vols octavo. Original brown wrappers lettered in black. Contemporary Hebrew library stamps to title page of the Search Bureau for Missing Relatives; residue of removed labels to front covers.

1941167943The Hague: City Legislative Board 31 January 1941. Laying the groundwork for the Holocaust in the Netherlands A significant step in the implementation of the Holocaust in the Netherlands - a broadside ordering all Jews in The Hague to register with the authorities. The broadside was issued in the name of The Hague mayor Cornelis Lodewijk van der Bilt on the order of the Reich Commissariat for the Occupied Dutch Territories. Similar orders were made by municipal bodies across the Netherlands. Headed in Dutch "Obligation to register persons of wholly or partly Jewish blood" it states that anyone with one Jewish grandparent must register by 21 February 1941. Each person will be issued with a certificate which must be shown to authorities on request. Those who do not register are liable to a five-year prison term and confiscation of assets. The move was part of an ongoing campaign against the Jews in the Netherlands that began shortly after the Nazi invasion in May 1940. Registration was with the mayor's office - the poster attests to the co-operation forced or otherwise of existing political structures. Almost all Dutch Jews did comply with the order. Deportations from the Netherlands began in Summer 1942 and was effectively completed by September 1944; less than a quarter of Dutch Jewry who fled the country or hid with supporters survived the Holocaust "The Netherlands" Holocaust Encyclopedia accessible online.

194251752Odessa: Zentral Auswanderungs Büreau 1942. Original document. Loose leaf. Very good condition. Quarto. Original loose leaf with black lettering. Announcement based on ordinance no. 35/942 of the civil government of Transnistria relating to the emigration of Jews in Odessa and surrounding areas. <br /> <br /> The text printed biligually in German and Ukrainian is organized into five statements. The annoucement concerns the liquidation and sale of goods of emigrated or vanished Jews beginning on March 1 1942 with the whole population without limitations given the right to buy these items based on oral agreements. Furthermore the announcement regulates details and procedures of the sale and at the end announces that after the sale proceeds will by handed to the Jews by the Central Emigration Office.<br /> <br /> "The rapid development of Odessa began after the Russian conquest 1789. Its Jewish population also grew quickly and in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was the most important Jewish literary community after Warsaw. In 1926 there were 153194 Jews in Odessa 36.4 percent of the total population and by 1939 their numbers reached 180000." Encyclopedia of the Holocaust Vol. 3 page 1080.<br /> <br /> When Romanians and Germans laid siege to the city on August 5 1941 many Jews in Odessa managed to leave and eighty to ninety thousand Jews remained in the city. Odessa fell on October 16 and the German Einsatzkommando 11b and the Romanian intelligence service immediately slaughtered over eight thousand residents mainly Jews and Odessa was established as the capital of the Transnistria region. On October 22 the Romanian military headquarters were blown up killing sixty-six officers and the military governor. In reprisal the Romanian ruler Ion Antonescu ordered devastating retaliation including the arrest of one member of each Jewish family. By October 1941 some 40000 Jews were assembled in the ghetto of the nearby city of Slobodka and their valuables confiscated. Deportations of some 20000 Jews began in January of 1942. When Odessa was liberated on April 10 1944 authorities reported that about 99000 Jews had been killed. Odessa again became an important Jewish center with 102000 Jews living there according to a 1959 census.<br /> <br /> Considering the context of "Kundmachung Nr. 2 the Odessa massacre of October 22-24 1941 and the murder of Jews living between the rivers Dniester and Bug during the Romanian and German occupation this succinct notice including its misspellings and mistakes in the German language is a chilling mirror image of the attitude shown by the occupying powers towards the Jews. Approximately 30000 Jews were killed in Odessa and more than 100000 in Transnistria. <br /> <br /> The text is printed in German on one side and Ukrainian on the verso. Minor wear and smudging.

Oblong folio 34 x 25 cm publisher's original linen backed boards the upper cover printed in Hebrew. 4 text and 17 plates pp. A very good copy well preserved with minor evidence of age or use. RARE EARLY ILLUSTRATED WORK ON THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST. The evocative illustrations include Jews being rounded up for transport to the camps a depiction of the "death wagons" used for transport the rebellion in the ghetto partisans Treblinka the "monster" Nazi the Underground resistence and more. The album of illustrations was prepared and published during the most intense years of the Holocaust.<br> Lea Grundig 1906 – 1977 was a German painter and graphic artist. In the mid-1930s her work reflected themes of the new Nazi age with her cycles "Harzburger Front" "Unterm Hakenkreuz" 1936 "Der Jude ist schuld!" 1935–38 "Krieg droht!"1935–37 "Im Tal des Todes" 1942/43 and "Ghetto".<br> In 1935 a ban was imposed on exhibits of her work and in May 1936 she was arrested. Later in 1936 she traveled to Switzerland but she then returned to her home city and it was in Dresden that in May 1938 she was again arrested. In March 1939 she was found guilty of "Preparing to commit High Treason" »Vorbereitung zum Hochverrat« as a result of her Communist activities and/or her Jewish provenance and was sentenced to four months imprisonment. She served her sentence which in the event lasted till November/December 1939 in a prison in Dresden. However on her release she was granted an emigration permit. She emigrated to Bratislava then the capital of the still notionally independent Slovak Republic Slovakia. In 1940 she reached a refugee camp in Slovakia from where she moved as an exile to Palestine. Here she survived in a British internment camp at Atlit till 1942. On release she remained till the end of 1948 in Palestine living successively in Haifa and Tel Aviv. She was again able to show her work legally: exhibitions of her work took place not just in Palestine where she was living but also in the USA France South Africa and Great Britain.

19671824721967. Auschwitz memorialized - a record of "the first fully 'international' event" at the former camp A commemorative album for the opening of the memorial at Auschwitz on 16 April 1967 an important stage in its transition to an international memorial site. Situated at the western end of the railway lines that cross the camp the memorial remains a central part of the Auschwitz complex. The large granite memorial was designed by the Italian architects Andrea and Pietro Cascella. Approximately 200000 people attended the unveiling including Polish state officials the East German and Italian foreign ministers and prisoner organisations. The first two photographs show the memorial the third the crowd bound in by the barbed wire and the fourth the Polish prime minister Józef Cyrankiewicz laying a tribute. The remainder show the attendees eating lunch food stalls and chefs preparing the food. Given this the album was presumably produced for the organizers of the catering. "Abstract in form and vague in its message the monument and the events surrounding its unveiling in April 1967 certainly furthered the memorial site's growing international character and testified to the waning relevance of a traditional Polish-national commemorative idiom at Auschwitz. At the same time however the Birkenau monument failed to specify or acknowledge explicitly the suffering and death of Jews as Auschwitz and therefore took its place in the continuum of commemorative marginalization of the Shoah at the site" Huener pp. 145-6. The memorial does not mention the Jews specifically nor did Cyrankiewicz in his remarks at the event as he wished to continue to present the camp as a specifically Polish tragedy. Nonetheless the unveiling "drew tremendous attention from abroad and can therefore be understood as the first fully 'international' event held at the State Museum at Auschwitz. The highly publicized April ceremonies. reached the wider European public and through the presence of countless journalists the world" Huener p. 146. Oblong quarto 36 x 25 cm containing 28 silver gelatin prints ranging from 17 x 12 to 17 x 23 cm mounted on 21 leaves of thick black card string-tied within blue cloth covers.

The album is divided into three sections labelled "commercial photographs" "'captured' photographs" and "personal photographs".

The "'Captured' photographs" - it is unsure what the compiler means by this - also appear to be commercially produced. The "personal photographs" were all captured by the compiler and individually captioned. They depict the American soldier - identified only as "me" - while posted in Pupping Austria. The images include portraits of himself and his named comrades views of the Pupping Prisoner-of-War camp local buildings and landscapes and excursions to nearby Linz.

The maps comprise Volume II of the work; Volume I is a heavily illustrated 676-page book of the same title which we offer separately. <br> The Seven maps all present are: <br> - Map 1 Single Sided: Hitlerowskie obozy na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945. “Nazi camps in Poland in the years 1939 - 1945â€.

In some parts of the map the information becomes so dense that three inset maps are shown. This map was designed by Jan Laskowski and printed in 1979 as part of a work on the Nazi extermination machine produced by PWN Warsaw a state-owned research-focused publishing house in Poland.<br> The map on the front is particularly interesting for its depiction of symbols used to classify internees in German camps. The uppermost of these depictions shows the combinations that can be made for different types of prisoners of different levels of importance. The armbands that would have been worn by these prisoners is shown as well as the prison uniforms. Other details are also shown. <br> The map lists hundreds of sites run by Nazi operators throughout the country. These include concentration camps death camps transitional camps and ghettos. The map is divided according to Poland's voivodeships with a key in the lower left. Names of cities too long to spell are also provided in the lower left. <br> This map was produced during a point in Poland's history during which it was actively revisiting the period during the Second World War. Leading social scientists devoted their time to trying to gather all the living as well as the recorded history of the events of the Holocaust and related atrocities before this information vanished. Leading these efforts particularly during the 1960s and 1970s was the Glówna Komisja Scigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu known as the Chief Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. They were active in publishing maps both for domestic educational purposes and for international remembrance and diplomatic efforts regarding the Holocaust. Jan Laskowski was a leading cartographer who produced a number of maps in this field. <br> These maps were produced as part of a series of maps that purported to combine to form an atlas of all of Hitler's crimes in Poland. Many of the large wall maps produced during this period could only show a fraction of the crimes or only the atrocities committed in one region. Thus a series of maps was needed to show all the points necessary which this present work contributes to. <br> Polish Reinterpretations of the Holocaust: Studying the effects of German occupation in Poland is a delicate subject. While it is certain that Poland suffered at least as badly as any other European nation during the Second World War reinterpretations of the Holocaust in the country have also been used to satisfy nationalistic tendencies. It has become evident to Western observers in the last several years that there is a strong nationalist movement in Poland that seeks to place blame for the Holocaust solely on the shoulders of non-Polish actors a movement originally fostered under Soviet rule. This movement has gone so far as to limit freedom of speech criminalizing with a three-year sentence the suggestion that Poland or its citizens in any form participated in the murders committed by Nazis. As such the term ‘Polish concentration camps’ has been deemed unacceptable with the government-approved term being ‘concentration camps on Polish territory.’ <br> All lines of evidence show that this map 2A & 2B was produced using the most accurate and impartial historical sources. The language on the map is simple naming only ‘Hitler's Atrocities’ and there is no evidence of a clear anti-German bias. However it is impossible to separate this map one of the most important productions of the remembrance movement during this period from the social situation in which it was produced. Maps like these can easily be converted into propaganda instruments and today's Polish leaders most of whom grew up during Soviet occupation will have formed their understanding of the Holocaust through maps like these. <br> Soviet Censorship: While the content of the map appears to have been produced free from bias the map still had to go through Soviet censorship. Mentioning prisoner of war camps in which primarily Soviet troops were interned would have been a prerequisite condition upon which the publication of the map rested. Further the lack of mention of any Soviet killings or camps requires no explanation….The map unlike many later maps makes no differentiation between the populations who suffered at the various camps. This represents the Soviet agenda that all nations suffered fought and won equally which sought to limit divisions in this post-identity state†Ruderman 2022. <br> SUBJECTS: World War 1939-1945 -- Prisoners and prisons German. -- Concentration camps -- Poland.

1941204434Los Angeles: Jewish People's Committee of Los Angeles 1941. Folded once horizontally fine. Broadsheet printed on both sides of single leaf 9-1/4 X 12-1/4 inches. Rare bilingual broadsheet appeal to the Jewish community printed in English and Yiddish and quoting the statement from the Vilna Rabbinical Council sent to the world August 26 1941 via Moscow begging for help after the nazi invasion and praising the Russian Red Army and "our redeemer Joseph Stalin." This sheet is slightly larger than one printed by the Daily Worker in New York of which OCLC locates only a single copy. The summer of 1941 saw the mass executions of Lithuanian Jews by German einsatzkommano forces. This appeal emerged in the midst of the horror and months before the U.S. entry into the war.

One of a stated 5000 copies; this copy inscribed by the artist on title page: "To my friends Rossi and Mikloš Foltari / F. Reichental" undated but apparently contemporary with publication. Quarto 36cm; cord-bound printed card wrappers; 2 preliminary leaves; 16 unnumbered leaves of plates on coated paper printed recto-only; printed colophon leaf and blank terminal leaf 20ll complete. Covers somewhat worn; two small marginal tape-repairs to front cover with is partially detached from cord binding; internal text leaves somewhat age-toned; plates clean and unfaded. Very Good. <br/>Preface printed in both Slovak and English by Vojtech Winterstein. <br/><br/>Album of drawings depicting the daily lives of prisoners in Nazi concentration camps rendered in Reichentál's singular Expressionist style. Well known and highly-regarded as an avant-gardist through the Twenties and Thirties Reichentál exhibited widely in Germany and Eastern Europe until 1939 when German troops occupied Slovakia forcing the mass exodus of the native Jewish population. Though Reichentál himself was able to evade capture by the Nazis many of his family members died in the camps. He returned to Czechoslovakia after the war finally emigrating to the U.S. in 1950 where he continued to exhibit new work until his death in 1971. Despite the rather generous stated printing of 5000 copies plus 1000 copies of a signed numbered edition this album is notably scarce with only about 15 holdings worldwide noted in WorldCat KVK and COPAC of which ten are in North America.
