During this time some 4000–5000 Jewish refugees arrived from German-occupied lands to the west. About half of these refugees were later deported into the interior of the USSR. On 13 July 1941 after taking over the city the Germans executed 100 Jews among the intelligentsia and in November of that year they created two ghettos one in the city’s center—to house 15000 Jews designated as “productiveâ€â€”and the other in its suburb of S obodka to house 10000 “unproductive†Jews. The liquidation of the ghettos began in November 1942. The Germans deported Grodno’s Jews to Auschwitz—some via a transit camp in nearby Kelbasin where many died as a result of disease and inhumane conditions—and to Treblinka. On 12 March 1943 the approximately 1000 Jews remaining in the city were deported to the Bia ystok ghetto. When the Red Army entered Grodno on 14 July 1944 only about 250 Jews remained.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
