On January 3, 1938, Roosevelt founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, now known as the March of Dimes The organization initially focused on the rehabilitation of victims of paralytic polio, and supported the work of Jonas Salk and others that led to the development of polio vaccines. (Wikipedia, 2017) This memorial program was Chaired by Congressman Sol Bloom, the influential Jewish Congressman from New York. In the run-up to World War II, he took charge of high-priority foreign-policy legislation for the Roosevelt Administration, including authorization for Lend Lease in 1941. (Wikipedia, 2017) . Though FDR was open about his Polio, he also tried to downplay it; this is an unusually public connection of FDR and Polio: FDR requested that the press avoid photographing him walking, maneuvering, or being transferred from his car. The stipulation was accepted by most reporters and photographers but periodically someone would not comply. The Secret Service was assigned to purposely interfere with anyone who tried to snap a photo of FDR in a disabled or weak state (FDR Presidential Library, 2017) . OCLC lists no copies anywhere. Creased and worn, with a few small tears and some discoloration. Good condition. Very Rare and significant publication linking FDR, Polio, American Political Leadership, and American Jewish Life.

1st edition, original paper wrappers. 8vo, 8 pages. A sermon preached on New Years Morning, Saturday, September 8th, 1945 before Congregation Keneseth Israel of Allentown, Pennsylvania by Rabbi Braunstein, Ph. D. This sermon was preached before the release on Sept. 30, 1945 of Earl G. Harrisons Report to President Truman on the conditions of refugees and displaced persons in western Europe, and of the subsequent interchange of correspondence between the President and General Eisenhower. All of these strengthen and confirm the point-of-view expressed in this sermon. (page 8) Braunstein doesnt think that the Jews who fled should have to go back to their former homes. He says, The Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees, of which our Government is a member, recently declared that the Jewish D. P. will be given the opportunity to learn more about conditions in his country and give the governments more time to satisfy their nationals that they can return to their countries with the prospect of leading a healthy, normal life before reaching the conclusion that the person must be treated permanently as non-repatriable. These are elegant words to conceal the real decision of the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees. That decision is this: Let the Jews cool off their heels in the German concentration camps until they realize they must return to their former homes. The simplest truth is that these Jews are afraid to return to their former homes. They who have cheated death for so many years at the hands of the Germans do not want to die at the hands of the Germans, do not want to die at the hands of their former co-citizens. And if their experiences in Poland and in Slovakia and elsewhere are any indication of how the wind is blowing, they have a right to fear. They have a right to refuse to return to their former homes. I have been wondering whether the late President Roosevelts promise of a world in which there would be freedom from fear will ever have meaning to the displaced Jews of Europe.

194743409New York The Organization No Date 1947. 1st edition. Double-sided English-Yiddish leaflet 2 pages. The Yiddish header translates roughly as "An Announcement To the Jewish Public"<br> Bilingual American Flyer condemning the Joint the American Joint Distribution Committee AJDC for not doing more to help the Jewish DPs and its "hiding" behind the German police when DP's demonstrated for more action on DP resettlement.<br> The issuing organization the United Jewish Survivors of Nazi Persecution/Farband fun Geveyzene Yidishe Katsetler un Partizaner was the first survivor network founded in the US. Their Yiddish name translates as "The Association of Former Jewish Concentration Camp Inmates and Partisans." The word "Katsetler" in their name is a contraction of "kontsentratsyonslager-er" using the letters K and Z "ka" and "tset" and thus short for "kontsetratsyonslager" a concentration camp inmate or survivor sometimes also noted as a "katsetnik." <br> <br> The flyer announces:<br> <br> "Jewish blood was again shed on German soil! German police fought with remaining victims of Nazism. But this time the sad event was instigated by the prominent Jewish organization-The Joint Distribution Committee.<br> <br> What happened<br> <br> There remains today in Camp Foehrenwald near Munich about two thousand helpless forlorn and ill D.P's who miraculously escaped the extermination furnaces in nazi-occupied Poland and Hitler-Germany. Hungry desperate destitute men women and children the 'forgotten' Jews have been knocking at the doors of the democratic countries for a haven and refuge and a home they can call their own.<br> <br> With this goal in mind they demand immediate help from the Joint while in camp and help to establish themselves in their eventual homes in the countries that have offered refuge. But the Joint turned a 'deaf ear' toward their pleas.<br> <br> And when these disillusioned D.P.'s demonstrated before the offices of the Joint in Munich the German police in a previously planned attack critically wounded whipped and battered off the demonstrators.<br> <br> The Joint in Munich with the approval of the Joint in Paris asked the police to protect them against the Jewish D.P. demonstrators.<br> <br> We the survivors of Nazi-Germany now living in the United States cannot forget the extreme torments and the inferno of the nazi-torture; we who suffered with many victims now in Foch- renwald are horror-stricken and dismayed and our hearts cry out against the Joint for the brutality toward our helpless brethern in misfortune.<br> <br> We express our deep-felt sympathy toward our brothers in Foehrenwald.<br> <br> demand that the Joint representatives responsible for these brutal attacks on the D.P.'s by the German police be punished.<br> <br> In the name of humanity we beseech the Jews in the United States to let their voices be heard help these sick tragic and frustrated victims to find homes and a life of human dignity again" From the English side of the flyer.<br> <br> <br> After World War II Munich served as a major center for Jewish Holocaust survivors the "Sh'erit ha-Pletah" who were living in DP camps. The "Joint" was the primary welfare organization providing aid clothing and food to these camps. While the Joint was a vital lifeline its Munich headquarters at Siebertstrasse 3 sometimes became the focal point for frustration regarding the pace of aid distribution or more frequently the slow pace of emigration to Palestine Aliyah and broader often frustrating postwar conditions.<br> Following the 1947 Exodus ship incident where Jewish refugees were returned to Germany by the British Jewish DPs felt trapped and staged intense demonstrations including protests at the offices of international organizations like the Joint to highlight their despair.<br> These demonstrations were part of a broader effort by survivors to assert their agency and demand rights during their time in Munich 1945-1951. For more on tensions between Munich's Jewish DPs and the Joint see www.juedisches-museum-muenchen.de/en/exhibitions/munich-displaced-online/moehlstrasse. <br> <br> Scholar David Slucki notes about the publishers of this leaflet that "Within months of arriving in the United States in 1946 Jewish Holocaust survivors began to organize themselves to help with the process of resettlement. The small band of socialists who established the Farband fun Geveyzene Yidishe Katsetler un Partizaner United Jewish Survivors of Nazi Persecution this group initiated a dual process of identity formation and memorialization of the Holocaust. <br> The first survivor network founded in the United States the Katsetler Farband this group developed a memorial culture that included commemorations and publications replete with its own rituals and calendar. Moreover the organization was part of a broader process of defining what experiences constituted the Holocaust and who was to be considered a survivor. Ultimately they were among a host of survivor networks in the United States to lay the foundation for Holocaust memorialization" Slucki D. 2017.

Original illustrated paper wrappers. 12mo. 26 pages, 12 cm. In French. Title translates to "Would Hitler Not be Dead?" This strange short story casts doubt on the death of Hitler. It hypothesizes that in March 1945, Hitler usurped the identity of a certain Moses Levy, who was murdered in a concentration camp.

1st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 31 pages. An american rabbi's eerily prescient 1933 report from very early in the Nazi period in Germany. Isserman, the author, was the Rabbi of Temple Israel, St. Louis, Missouri. He was born in Antwerp, and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1906. He was ordained by Hebrew Union College and served the rabbinate in St. Louis for many decades. He participated in many civic and Jewish causes and visited Nazi Germany three times (1933, 1935 and 1937) - the first visit of which prompted the present document, in which he states there is no hope for the Jews of Germany - the government aim is their human extirpation (p. 3). His stated conclusions are that there is no hope for the Jews of Germany, that atrocities were perpetrated on Jews and other dissenters and will continue to be perpetrated, that an economic death sentence has been passed on the Jews of Germany, that only the fear of public and foreign opinion is preventing a pogrom against all the Jews of Germany, and that the Jews of Germany live under a sentence of death.
