1st Edition. Original Red Paper Wrappers with silhouette of Lion on the front. 8vo. 16 pages ; 22cm. In French. Title translates into English as, Rabbi Ephraim Elncaoua (The Rabbi of Tlemcen) 1360-1442. Scarce Holocaust-era publication about Rabbi Ephraim ben Israel Alnaqua (1360-1442) here published in Tlemcen itself. Alnaqua was a physician, rabbi, theological writer, and founder of the Jewish community at Tlemçen, North Africa According to a legend, Alnaqua escaped from the Spanish Inquisition, which had martyred his father and mother at the stake, and came to Maghreb mounted on a lion, using a serpent as a halter. Azulai (refered) to him as a miracle-worker. Alnaqua succeeded, after all other physicians had failed, in curing the only daughter of a king of the Zayyanid dynasty. Refusing the reward of gold and silver offered him by the king, he begged only that the Jews living near Tlemçen might be united in it. In this way the community was formed. Alnaqua's first care was to establish a large synagogue: this is still in existence (as of 1906) , and bears his name. Above the rabbi's chair, on which the verse Jer. Xvii.12 is engraved, a lamp burns perpetually. Alnaqua's grave, surrounded by those of his family, is in the old cemetery: it is sacred to North African Jews, and (as of 1906) is frequently visited by pilgrims from all Algeria (Wikipedia, 2016) No holdings worldwide on OCLC.

No Date (1941). 1st edition, original wrappers, 8vo. 12 pages. Almost certainly published in 1941, as the Rabbinical Association was founded in 1901 and this booklet is From the presidential message delivered at the 40th Annual Convention of the Rabbinical Assembly of America- Detroit, Michigan. Arzt says, The moral re-awakening of America will be tremendously enhanced by tangible acts of sympathy and succor for the innocent victims of the holocaust across the seas. The Jews of America must, with increasing generosity and self-sacrifice, contribute of their means for the maintenance of the overseas program of relief. Our suffering brethren in war torn Europe will continue to hope against hope, if our thoughts, our prayers and our united efforts will be with them and for them. The religious forces in America should champion legislation for the suspension of all restrictive legislation to make possible the immediate admission of children from Europe for the duration of the war. Millions of Americans will eagerly offer the hospitality of their homes for these unfortunates. The arrival of a huge expeditionary army of little ones to these shores will immediately fortify our spirit and will generate in us a spirit of selflessness and sacrifice which will enable us to face the future with courage and confidence.

Original orange boards with black spine and lettering illustrated with decorative frame. 8vo. 130 + 92 pages; 21.5 cm. Written in Hebrew. 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.

Conservative Jewish men's group newsletter from the Holocaust period from the the second synagogue founded in New York (1825) and the third-oldest Ashkenazi synagogue in the United States. "The object of the 'Tattler' will be to provide the members with a regular source of information and entertainment....The Pogroms in Russia during the Czarist regime or the activities of the Zionist movement in recent years had no such effect on the consciousness of the average American Jew except to stir a sense of pity and sympathy for the afflicted ones. But the cruel, heartless persecutions of the Jews in Germany by Hitler and his crew, caused a stirring in the blood of Native Americans of Jewish birth that made them turn about and recall the religion of their fathers and the God of Israel. We of The Men's Club of the Congregation B'nai Jeshurun welcome with open arms all those who are returning to the fold." Most issues include commentary on the increasing oppression of the Jews in Germany; other issues discussed include some current Jewish news, some retelling of Jewish history, congregation news, editorials, fun facts, jokes with lessons.

1st Edition Reprint. Original Wrappers. 8vo. 11 pages ; 22 cm. Holocaust-era publication. Published with Tolerance is Not Enough, reprinted from The Pilot on May 26, 1945, which gave a glowing review of Bishop Richard Cushings speech. This is the first published speech given by Richard Cushing after he became Archbishop of Boston in 1944. He served as Archbishop of Boston from 1944 to 1970, and was created a cardinal in 1958. Cushing's main role was as fundraiser and builder of new churches, schools, and institutions. He was on good terms with practically the entire Boston elite, as he softened the traditional confrontation between the Catholic Irish and the Protestant upper-class. Cushing built useful relationships with Jews, Protestants, and institutions outside the usual Catholic community. He helped presidential candidate John F. Kennedy deflect fears of papal interference in American government if a Catholic became president. Cushing's high energy level allowed him to meet with many people all day, often giving lengthy speeches at night.
