Public Committee Investigating the Genocide of the Jewish People in EuropeBiblio.com

On the Significance of the Kastner Case

1955613Jerusalem: S.n. 1955. First edition. Mimeographed typescript. In original cardboard wrappers. In fine condition. First edition. Mimeographed typescript. In original cardboard wrappers. 1 13 1 leaves. Extremely scarce pamphlet uses the Kastner case as a weapon to attack the Attorney General of Israel the governing Mapai party and the entire Government of Israel. The Kastner case was one of the greatest political scandals of Israel in the 1950s that led to the resignation of the Prime Minister Moshe Sharett and the collapse of his cabinet. The brochure delineates the Kastner case and uses the trialâ€™s The Attorney-General of the Government of Israel versus Malchiel Gruenwald verdict against Kastner to question the independence and neutrality of the Attorney General of Israel who did not put Kastner on trial and also the righteousness of the Government that is â€œprepared to sacrifice even the sanctity of the Courts in its desire to shield Kastnerâ€ and goes even further saying that â€œthis shielding of Kastner can only mean that the revelation of the truth will harm some vested interest in Israel or will cast light on the actions of this or that prominent individual in the war-years.â€ It was issued by the â€œPublic Committee Investigating the Genocide of the Jewish People in Europeâ€ made up mainly of members of the right-wing nationalist Herut party and revisionist Zionists to investigate the actions of Jewish leaders during the Holocaust however they were not that active in any other cases but this one. The Committee used the â€œIsraeli Nazi and Nazi Collaborators Lawâ€ and the ongoing Kapo-trials as a basis for an a fortiori argument against Kastner by stating that he â€œwas not a petty kapo but the leader or one of the leaders of Hungarian Jewry during world war IIâ€. The text goes through the entire affair starting the Gruenwald-newsletter in 1952 the allegation made by Melchior Gruenwald which was the trigger of the Kastner case. In his â€œLetter to Friends in the Mizrachiâ€ Gruenwald accused Kastner â€œwith behaviour and actions that facilitated the destruction of Hungarian Jewry with top-level collaboration with the Nazi Occupiers of Hungary in 1944 and giving testimony in favour of a Nazi war criminal and thus saving him from the punishment due to himâ€. As a response to the â€œLetterâ€ the Israeli government sued Gruenwald on Kastner's behalf. The judge ruled in Gruenwaldâ€™s favour found that Kastner had collaborated with the Nazis and his motive was to â€œsave a small number of Jews including his relatives and colleagues he had knowingly facilitated the destruction of the rest of Hungarian Jewryâ€. Beside this Kastner â€œhad engineered the surrender to the Nazis of two parachutists sent from Palestine to organize resistanceâ€; had failed to intervene for the life of the third the legendary Chana Senesh Hanna Szenes; given false testimony in the case of Kurt Becher during the Nuremberg trials thus allowing him to escape prosecution for war crimes. Benjamin Halevy the judge accused Kastner of having â€œsold his soul to the devilâ€. This part is followed by the allegation of the Attorney General and the Government. Rudolf Israel Kastner or RezsÅ‘ Kasztner; 1906â€“1957 was a Jewish-Hungarian journalist and lawyer who helped Hungarian Jews to escape the Holocaust during the German occupation of Hungary. He was one of the leaders of the â€œAid and Rescue Committeeâ€ Budapest Jewish Rescue Committee the â€œVaadaâ€ Va'adat Ha-Ezrah ve-ha-Hatzalah be-Budapesht in this position he negotiated with Adolf Eichmann to allow 1684 Jews to leave to Switzerland instead of being deported to Auschwitz on 35 cattle trucks what became known as the Kastner train in exchange for money gold and diamonds. After the war Kastner moved to Israel becoming a spokesman for the Ministry of Trade and Industry. In 1953 he was accused by Malchiel Gruenwald of having been a Nazi collaborator in a self-published pamphlet. The Israeli government sued Gruenwald for libel on Kastnerâ€™s behalf but the judge ruled in Gruenwald favour. His decision led to the collapse of the Israeli Cabinet and Kastner also resigned his governmental position. In early March 1957 he was shot as he arrived at his Tel Aviv home he died of his injuries two weeks later. The attack was carried out by a three-man squad of veterans of the pre-state right-wing militia the Lehi. The Supreme Court of Israel overturned most of the judgements in January 1958 stating that the lower court had â€œerred seriouslyâ€. Recently documents relating to the assassination has been released that confirm that Israel's internal security service the Shin Bet was involved in the murder of Kastner. Very less is known about the â€œPublic Committee Investigating the Genocide of the Jewish People in Europeâ€. The Secretary General of the Committee was Jeremiah Halpern 1901â€“1962 and the presidium consisted: Joseph Klausner 1874â€“1958 Joseph J. Rivlin 1889â€“1971; Joseph Schechtman 1891â€“1970 Isaac Levinson 1896â€“1971 formerly all of them were associates of Ze'ev Jabotinsky Halpern as his aide de camp in Haganah Levinson as his secretary. Jabotinskyâ€™s legacy was carried by the Herut party. Extremely scarce we could trace only one copy worldwide. . (S.n.) unknown

[Boer War] ['The Mafeking Mail']. WHALES, GNH (editor) G N HBiblio.com

A substantial run of 111 issues of the Special Siege Edition and Special Siege Slips of 'The Mafeking Mail' from Number 1 1 November 1899 to Number 148 23 May 1900 the first issue after the end of the siege with impeccable provenance

1899142162Mafeking: Townshend & Son 1899. Mafeking Townshend & Son 1899 and 1900. 111 issues various sizes see below printed on paper of many different colours and of varying quality often poor with 43 printed as a broadsheet the balance printed recto and verso with three early numbers folded and issued as bifolia. Unbound as issued; some loss primarily owing to the poor quality of some of the paper; however these extraordinary artefacts produced under siege conditions are of the utmost rarity in any condition. All issues in this run are now housed in individual Mylar pockets sealed on two sides only for easy access. A detailed list including the number date colour of paper length and condition of each issue is included with the lot. Dr Robin Pelteret has published his impressive research notes on 'The Mafeking Mail Special Siege Slips' online. He sets the scene: 'Mafeking lies 1392 kilometres north of Cape Town and 298 kilometres west of Johannesburg. It was first settled in the early 1850s. From the early 1860s it became a centre of squabbling and outright fighting between the Transvaal Republic the Baralong the Goshen Republic the British South Africa Company and the British Empire. By the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War it was a robust "dorp" with some 1500 European citizens a group of Indian and oriental background and 5000 Baralong. It was a major rail junction with a station and railway workshops; a significant commercial centre and boasted a number of substantial buildings including two schools two churches a Standard Bank a Masonic Lodge a newspaper building a public library the Victoria Hospital and St Joseph's Convent Irish Sisters of Mercy. The Siege of Mafeking was conducted between 14 October 1899 and 17 May 1900 that is 217 days and began 3 days after the declaration of war by the Transvaal Republic. It involved British and Colonial Forces under the command of Brevet-Colonel Robert Stephenson Smythe Baden-Powell the besieged and Boer Forces ab initio under the command General Piet Arnoldus Cronje and later Kommandant Sarel Eloff the besiegers'. The precursor to the siege issues of 'The Mafeking Mail' was the 'Mafeking Mail and Protectorate Guardian' in its infancy when the siege was imposed. Number 22 the last full edition was published on Saturday 14 October 1899 the first day of the siege; a Special Siege Edition Number 23 was dated Saturday 21 October 1899 but headed 'reprinted on 23 October 1899'. On 1 November 1899 a fortnight after the beginning of the siege the first of the famous siege issues was published 'Issued Daily Shells Permitting. Only Terms One Shilling Per Week Payable in Advance'. 'They were to be numbered 1 to 152 of which 143 minus Numbers 45 and 56 appeared during the actual siege. The newspaper contained snippets of information - both parochial and national General Orders and advertisements. Actually we have found them to be far more dramatic and engaging than this bland description implies especially reading these issues that were purchased day by day during the siege and have survived to this day. However we digress . In Mafeking there was to exist a fragile peace between the publisher and editor of the "Mafeking Mail Special Siege Slip" G.H.N. Whales and the military authorities. Whales was somewhat acerbic of tongue. He once publicly thanked the press censor for saving his life a boer shell having destroyed his editorial chair whilst he was submitting his newspaper copy for military scrutiny elsewhere in the village. He was to be briefly imprisoned on one occasion for publishing querulous criticism on the conduct of the siege and the restrictions put on the availability of news. In protest he was known to publish empty columns No. 47 and indeed cancelled one whole edition No. 45 as visible disregard and mute testimony to the censor's liberal use of a blue pencil.' Dr Pelteret has established 'there are three different printings which appeared as four "editions"'. He surmises that by the time Number 6 came to press 'the commercial value to the printers of "The Mafeking Mail Siege Slips" had been discerned . and a substantial "overrun" allowed and set aside for later sale'. Indeed in Number 151 dated 30 May 1900 'there was an offer to make up sets at 30/- each of the Nos. 1-147 for "delivery July next" . They were issued soon after the lifting of the siege . cardboard-bound into two books of differing sizes and held together with metal staples'. The current run comprises Numbers 1 and 2 both second issue 'on sale soon after 22 November 1899' 6 with the word 'Only' in the masthead 7-8 10-60 but 45 and 56 were not published 62-68 70 77-79 83-84 97-98 100 102 104 106 107-109 111-127 129-141 and 144-148. Sizes vary considerably: the first 30 or so are approximately 380 × 255 mm; most of the last 40 or so are approximately 340 × 200 mm; for the rest they range from one issue at 255 × 155 mm to several at 375 × 500 mm. There are easily ten different colours of paper often acidic and now prone to brittleness; a handful have peen printed on recycled ledger paper pre-printed with columns in red or blue. 'Petticoat in Mafeking. The Letters of Ada Cock' edited and published by John F. Midgley Kommetjie 1974 contains 57 letters now extensively annotated written during the siege. The letters 'were addressed to her elder sister Emily Empy Fuller née Franklin. Emily's husband Harry James Fuller was the owner of the cattle ranch "Oaklands" which was situated a few miles outside of Mafeking and was managed by his brother-in-law Willie Cock Ada's husband. Under the threat of possibly hostilities Willie and his wife moved into Mafeking and its environs with all their stock at the beginning of October 1899. They also took with them four young children Eileen Tooky Liell Vaughan and Baby Ada' introduction page 1. In the earliest surviving letter dated 12 October Ada writes that 'Willie . will . join the B.R. Bechuanaland Rifles' page 23. The basic pencil drawings of several cannon one labelled a '9PR' on the partially blank verso of Number 21 Wednesday 29 November and the blank verso of Number 22 Thursday 30 November are possibly in his hand. Provenance: William and Ada Cock; by descent through their son Alfred Vaughan Cock to their great-grandson the vendor. 111 items. Townshend & Son unknown
