Report describing the allocation of £176, 000 collected by the Central British Fund for German Jewry during 1934 for use in relief and refugee assistance. Central British Fund (CBF) , now known as World Jewish Relief, the principal British refugee relief agency, established in May 1933 as the Central British Fund for German Jewry, for emergency relief to persecuted persons following the Nazi rise to power. The CBF formed the Jewish Refugees Committee (JRC) as its case-working body and financed its activities. The purpose of this Committee was to assist Jewish refugees from Central Europe in the United Kingdom. The CBF also aided settlement in Palestine, and facilitated various emigration schemes. The CBF assumed a blanket guarantee vis-à-vis the British government that the refugees from Nazi oppression would not become a burden on public funds. When the number of refugees from Germany and Austria reached 60, 000 at the outbreak of World War II, the British government agreed to subsidize the work of the JRC.

1st Edition. Original Paper Wrappers. 8vo. [16] pages ; 19 cm. In English. In this historic speech, Temple concludes, My chief protest is against procrastination of any kind The Jews are being slaughtered at the rate of tens of thousands a day on many days. We know that what we can do is small compared with the magnitude of the problem, but we cannot rest so long as there is any sense among us that we are not doing all that might be done. We have discussed the matter on the footing we are not responsible for this great evil but it is always true that the obligations of decent men are decided for them by contingencies which they did not themselves create We stand at the bar of history, of humanity, and of God. Holocaust-era speeches by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Rochester made to the House of Lords outlining ongoing atrocities and calling for the British government to approach the problem of resettling Jewish refugees with more urgency. William Temple (18811944) was a bishop in the Church of England. He served as Bishop of Manchester (192129) , Archbishop of York (192942) and Archbishop of Canterbury (194244) . A renowned teacher and preacher, Temple is perhaps best known for his 1942 book Christianity and Social Order, which set out an Anglican social theology and a vision for what would constitute a just post-war society . Against the background of persecution of Jewish people during World War II, Temple jointly founded with Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz the Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ) to combat anti-Semitism and other forms of prejudice in Britain. In March 1943, Temple addressed the House of Lords, urging action to be taken on the atrocities being carried out by Nazi Germany. (Wikipedia, 2016) SUBJECT(S) : Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) .

Original stiff wrappers . 8vo. 184 pages. 22 cm. First edition. This memoir relates the wartime experiences of Jewish partisan Doctor Michael Temchin. Dr. Temchin, nicknamed 'Znachor' (Witch Doctor) was at first the commander of the partisan unit of A. L. (Armja Ludowa) , the leftist underground organization in Poland, and after became chief of the medical services of the partisans. The partisan unit under the leadership of Dr. Temchin consisted of Jews and non-Jews, and was active in the area of Krasznik (Lublin district) . The Jewish and Polish partisans planned to rescue Jews in the ghetto of Krasznik before they were taken onto the crematoria, and waited for a sign from the ghetto to start the attack on the little town and liberate the Jews. The ghetto representatives kept postponing their decision to act. The partisans warned them that it might soon be too late, but the inhabitants of the ghetto were in no hurry to call for help from the partisans. A possible reason for their reluctance may have been the fact that they knew of the mass murders of Jews in the partisan units, carried out by Polish fascist groups, living in the woods. Of course the partisans did not want to attack without the consent of those helpless Jews living within the walls. The entire ghetto was wiped out in one night, and only a few succeeded in escaping to the partisans. (In the book The Jewish Partisans; Part 2, page 210) Among the most famous Polish partisans was Major 'Znachor' (Dr. Michael Temchin) . General Rola-Zhimierski, the commander of the A. L. Declared at a meeting of the Polish National Assembly on the 2nd of January 1946: Jewish soldiers fought against the occupation forces with much devotion and courage. They were valiant fighters and very often great heroes; and in his letter to the Organization of Jewish Partisans (F. P. O. ) , the general wrote: Among the Jews who remained alive there were thousands who went into the woods to fight with arms, and fought together with their Polish partisan comrades against the common enemy.
