Almost certainly an early post-war offset reproduction for Sherit Ha-Petah survivors for use in the DP camps, based on binding, paper, and quality of offset printing. We, however, found no reference to this edition of this work, presumably very scarce. Haim Yosef David Azulai, commonly known as the Hida, was a Jerusalem born rabbinical scholar, a noted bibliophile, and a pioneer in the publication of Jewish religious writings (Wikipedia, 2016) . This book contains the names of authors of Jewish texts. Aaron Walden, a Polish Jewish Talmudist, editor, and author used Azulais book as a model, dividing his book into two parts: Maareket Gedolim, being an alphabetical list of the names of authors and rabbis, mostly those that lived after Azulai, but also including many of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries who were omitted by Azulai; and Maareket Safarim an alphabetical list of book-titles (Wikipedia, 2016) .

1st edition. Original blue cloth boards. 4to. 182 pages; 24 cm. Includes tables. Walter Zwi Bacharach is Professor Emeritus of General History at Bar-Ilan University. He was born in Hanau, Germany in 1928. In 1938, he escaped with his family to Holland, where they were captured in 1942. He was sent to Westerbork transit camp, then to the Theresienstadt ghetto, and to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. He survived a death march and was liberated by U. S. Forces. He immigrated to Palestine in 1946 (Yadvashem.org 2017) . I immediately asked myself what had caused the deviation in the course of German history which had caused us so much suffering? What was the nature of that protracted process which had dragged millions, and me among them, into a world permeated with bottomless hatred of Jews? My curiosity was born out of stunned horror, it sought the answer to my own personal existence, which I perceived as a kind of rebirth.

1st Edition. Original Wrappers. 8vo. [4] pages ; 23 cm. Early Nazi-era speech damning Hitler, given at the New York scholarly institution which, under the leadership of the author, would come to be most associated with refugee scholars. Charles Austin Beard (1874 1948) was, with Frederick Jackson Turner, one of the most influential American historians of the first half of the 20th century. For a while he was a history professor at Columbia University but his influence came from hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. His works included a radical re-evaluation of the founding fathers of the United States, who he believed were motivated more by economics than by philosophical principles. Beard's most influential book, An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States (1913) , has been the subject of great controversy ever since its publication. (Wikiepdia, 2017) He was married to Mary Ritter Beard, widely influential historian, archivist, and activist, who played a critical role in the womens suffrage movement. This is his historic speech criticizing Hitler, in the year Hitler assumed power, at the New School in New York City: The history of the past four hundred years is in large measure the history to wrest from arbitrary and irresponsible power the weapons of tyranny.

1st Japanese Edition. Original Paper Wrappers. Volume 1: 209 pages ; 19 cm. IN Japanese. Smuggled out of the ghetto and carefully preserved in a kerosene can on a farm outside Warsaw, Chaim Kaplans diary, originally recorded in beautiful, disciplined Hebrew script, is a detailed eyewitness report of the Nazi occupation of Warsaw and a unique account of the destruction of the Jewish communities of Poland. Scroll of Agony begins on September 1, 1939, as the author, a respected educator, describes the Nazi blitzkrieg that stunned the world. It ends in August 1942, when Kaplan realized that the Nazi noose was around his neck. Kaplans remarkably objective account of the politics of occupation depicts a world of starvation and forced labor, of capricious death and planned mass murder. Yet his orderly script also conveys a world in which the struggle for survival included spiritual resistance: conducting services behind drawn shades, struggling to keep the schools open, and holding on to the rich fabric of communal life in defiance of the strongest force of dehumanization that the world has ever seen.

1st Edition. Original Paper Wrappers bound inside Period Boards. 8vo. [2] , 29 pages ; 23 cm. In French. Very important period anti-racist imprint. Title Translates into English as, Judaism as a Race and a Religion; From the Conference At The Circle Of Saint-Simon, On 27 January 1883. Joseph Ernest Renan (1823 1892) was a French expert of Semitic languages and civilizations (philology) , philosopher, historian, and writer, devoted to his native province of Brittany. He is best known for his influential historical works on early Christianity, and his political theories, especially concerning nationalism and national identity. Renan is credited as being among the first scholars to advance the Khazar theory, which held that Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of Turkic peoples who had adopted Jewish religion and migrated to Western Europe following the collapse of their khanate . In his 1883 lecture Le Judaïsme comme race et comme Religion he disputed the concept that Jewish people constitute a unified racial entity in a biological sense, which made his views unpalatable within racial antisemitism. Renan was also known for being a strong critic of German ethnic nationalism, with its antisemitic undertones. (Wikipedia, 2016) A very clean first edition copy of Renans 1883 lecture.

1st separate edition, original wrappers, 8vo. 13 pages. Reprint from the Israel law review, vol. 7, no. 1, January 1972. The author, Jacob Robinson (18891977) , was a jurist, politician, diplomat, and Holocaust researcher . After official Jewish representation was prohibited in Lithuania in 1927, Robinson organized an informal, secret group to defend Jewish interests. With the outbreak of World War II and the incorporation of Vilna into Lithuania, this committee played a leading role in receiving Jewish refugees from Poland and integrating Vilnas Jewish population into Lithuania. Robinson left Lithuania in May 1940 and reached the United States with his family in December of that year. In February 1941, he founded the Institute of Jewish Affairs (IJA) , the research arm of the American and World Jewish Congress, which he directed until 1947. The IJAs main topics of research were the fate of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe; the question of reparation and indemnification; the legal basis for prosecuting Nazi criminals; and the promotion of the concept of human rights as a means for defending the rights of Jews. In 1945, Robinson advised U. S. Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson in Nuremberg and codrafted the Jewish case presented to the International Military Tribunal. In 1946, he counseled chief prosecutor Telford Taylor on the Flick Case in Nuremberg. That same year, Robinson worked for the United Nations as an expert consultant to the team creating and establishing the Commission of Human Rights. In 1947 Robinson became legal adviser to the Jewish Agency at the UN and from 1948 to 1957 he was legal counsel to Israels delegation. Thanks to his previous experience, Robinson was instrumental in developing the Israeli diplomatic service. In 1952, he drafted the reparations agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) . His brother Nehemiah (18981964) was also a brilliant lawyer. He was Jacobs close partner and successor as director of the IJA, and drafted the agreements between the FRG and the Claims Conference as well as the FRGs Indemnification Law. In 1957, Robinson became the legal adviser for the Conference on Material Claims Against Germany, helped establish the research branch of Yad Vashem, and coordinated Holocaust research between several research Institutes (among them YIVO, Yad Vashem, Leo Baeck Institute, Wiener Library, and the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine) . Robinson also coordinated the collaboration of these and other Jewish institutions with the prosecution in trials against Nazi criminals. He was also the legal mind behind the prosecution at the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem (19601961) , serving as special assistant to the attorney general. Robinson edited the Holocaust section for the Encyclopedia Judaica (1971) and several volumes of documentary sources of the Holocaust. He also published several important bibliographic works on international law (YIVO, 2018) . SUBJECT(S) : Nuremberg Trial of Major German War Criminals, Nuremberg, Germany, 1945-1946.

Softcover, 8vo, 131 pages, illustrations, 20 cm. In French. SUBJECT (S) : Descriptor: Sephardim -- History. Sefarades -- Histoire. Bibliography: pages 127-129. Discography: pages 130-131. Filmography: page 131. Sephiha (1923) is a Judeo-Spanish linguist and activist. Sephiha was born in Brussels to a Sephardi family from Istanbul. During the German occupation of Belgium, he was arrested in 1943 and deported to Auschwitz in September. He survived the death camp, where his father perished. After liberation, he resumed his studies in natural sciences, graduating in 1948 and working as a chemical engineer; however, he eventually decided to study and defend the linguistic and cultural heritage of his community. His understanding of the language is based on a clear distinction between its two fundamental modalities. Sephiha, who retired in 1991, was instrumental in securing academic acceptance and public support for the agonizing language he spoke and taught. Besides his scientific and popular publications, from 1972 he launched several calls for revival of the language and in 1979 founded the Association Vidas Largas for the Defense and Promotion of the Judeo-Spanish Language and Culture, which organizes educational work in Sephardi communities as well as the rescue of literary, musical, and architectural treasures. Judeo-Spanish has since been included among the recognized minority languages of France. In 2003, Sephiha inaugurated at the Auschwitz site a memorial in honor of the 160, 000 Judeo-Spanish victims of the Holocaust (Wilke in EJ 2007) . Ex-library with usual markings. Very Good condition.
