What happened to this fine heritage when the Jews finally fashioned a government of their own in Israel What happened to Jews when they became Jewish politicians What happened to a piety a sense of honor and a brotherly love that 2500 years of anti-semitism were unable to disturb in the Jewish soul My answers are in this book." - Preface. "Describes events surrounding the 1954-1955 Kastner trial in Jerusalem. Based on trial transcripts Hecht concludes that in 1944 Rudolf Kastner a member of David Ben Gurion's Mapai Party deliberately withheld from Hungarian Jews knowledge that the trains Nazis were putting them on were taking them to die not to a fictitious resettlement city as the Nazis claimed and that Kastner lied about it under oath." - Wikipedia.

1914190814Cambridge: privately printed by Galloway & Porter 1914. I claim originality for my work which has cost me more than a year of strain First edition one of 250 copies only. Born into Mumbai's Parsee community Sett matriculated at Downing College Cambridge in 1910 and began this project in 1912. When British publishers offered to produce only an attenuated version of his sensuous illustrations his father funded private publication through the Cambridge bookstore Galloway & Porter. Sett's decadent interpretation raised eyebrows among Western audiences. In his preface Sett attacks Western-centric comparisons between his style and that of Aubrey Beardsley. After the Second World War the work was reissued in Mumbai. Large octavo. Illustrated title page 30 plates 15 with captioned tissue guards. Original black cloth spine and front cover lettered and decorated in gilt top edge gilt others untrimmed.
