Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland. The metropolis stands on the Vistula River in east-central Poland and its population is officially estimated at 1.8 million residents within a greater metropolitan area of 3.1 million residents which makes Warsaw the 7th most-populous capital city in the European Union. The city limits cover 517.24 199.71 sq. mi. while the metropolitan area covers 2355.39 sq. mi. Warsaw is a major international tourist destination and a significant cultural political and economic hub. Its historical Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city rose to prominence in the late 16th century. The elegant architecture grandeur and extensive boulevards earned Warsaw the nickname Paris of the North. The city was largely destroyed by the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 the general Warsaw Uprising in 1944 and the systematic razing by the Germans in advance of the Vistula-Oder Offensive. Warsaw gained the new title of Phoenix City because of its reconstruction after the war. Lech Aleksander Kaczy ski 18 June 1949 - 10 April 2010 was a Polish lawyer and politician who served as the Mayor of Warsaw from 2002 until 2005 and as the President of Poland from 2005 until his death in 2010. Before his tenure as president he previously served as President of the Supreme Audit Office from 1992 to 1995 and later Minister of Justice and Public Prosecutor General in Jerzy Buzek's cabinet from 2000 until July 2001. Born in Warsaw he starred in a 1962 Polish film The Two Who Stole the Moon with his identical twin brother Jaros aw. Kaczy ski was a graduate of law and administration of Warsaw University. In 1980 he was awarded his Ph.D. by Gda sk University. In 1990 he completed his requirements in labor and employment law. He later assumed professorial positions at Gda sk University and Cardinal Stefan Wyszy ski University in Warsaw. During the communist period Kaczy ski was an activist in the pro-democratic anti-communist movement in Poland the Workers' Defence Committee as well as the Independent Trade Union movement. In August 1980 he became an adviser to the Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee in the Gda sk Shipyard and the Solidarity movement. After the communists imposed martial law in December 1981 he was interned as an "anti-socialist element". After his release he returned to trade union activities becoming a member of the underground Solidarity. When Solidarity was legalized again in the late 1980s Kaczy ski was an active adviser to Lech Wa sa and his Solidarity Citizens' Committee in 1988. From February to April 1989 he participated in the Polish Round Table Talks along with his brother. After Solidarity's victory in the 1989 Polish legislative election Kaczy ski became a senator and vice-chairman of the movement. Then in the 1991 Polish parliamentary election he was elected into the Sejm as a non-party member. He was also the main adviser and supporter of Lech Wa sa when the latter was elected President of Poland in December 1990. In 2003 Kaczy ski co-founded the Law and Justice party after splitting from the Solidarity Electoral Action and the Christian National Union along with his brother.

In the second round of voting Kaczy ski received 54.04% of the vote defeating Donald Tusk who received 45.96% of the vote. He was sworn in as President on 23 December 2005. In 10 July 2006 Kaczy ski appointed his brother as Prime Minister of Poland upon the resignation of Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz the brothers then became the first pair of brothers in the world to serve as President and Prime Minister of a country and the only twin brothers to achieve the feat. His brother was succeeded as prime minister by his former presidential rival Donald Tusk. On 10 April 2010 he was killed along with his wife in the crash of a Polish Air Force jet that occurred on a landing attempt at Smolensk North Airport in Russia. He was the first conservative president of Poland since 1922 and the second president to die in office since the assassination of Gabriel Narutowicz. Warsaw City Hall paperback

1st edition. Original Paper Wrappers, 8vo 32 pages. In Hungarian. Title translates as, Those who Died and Fought for the Honor of our People. Heavily illustrated catalog of an exhibit in Budapest, 1946, to illustrate the persecution of the Hungarian Jews during World War II. Printed entirely on glossy paper, this catalog includes 55 photos, facsimiles, and other images from the exhibition, primarily anti-Nazi Hungarian Jewish artwork and posters, but also anti-Semitic posters, death cam photos, and scenes of new life in Palestine. The picture material was collected by the Jewish Agency for Palestine Documentation Department in January 1946 (translated from page 2) . The Foreword notes (translated) that The first anniversary of the liberation of the Budapest ghetto has arrived. It is time to bring to the world the terrible documents of the tragedy of Judaism and put the still unbelievers who turn their heads into thinking; those who do not believe because they do not want to believe. But not only the persuasion of the doubters is the goal of this attempt, but also of recalling over and over again for those who forget quickly. This is the purpose of this sad picture book, with all the cries, complaints and death blows coming from all sides. These pictures are just dull shadows of reality. Subjects: Jews--Persecutions--Hungary--History--20th century. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) --Hungary--Exhibitions. OCLC: 1022126577. OCLC lists just one copy anywhere (NLI) . Light wear to wrappers, old dampstains to margins, but no images or text affected. Very Rare and important. (HOLO2-139-13U)
1st edition. 4to, Original Paper Wrappers, 8 pages each issue, 13 numbers in 12 separate issues, as published. In Yiddish. Title translates as Bulletin of the Bund. Complete run of this early post-Holocaust iteration the Bunds monthly newsletter (also serving Kindred Jewish Socilaist Organizations), reflecting the concerns of its membership of secular Polish Holocaust survivors as well as pre-war immigrants to the US. Full of interesting articles including: Reports and declarations from the World Bund Conference in Brussels, including declarations on Antisemitism the workers movement, etc; The 1947 Socialist conference in Zurich; Bund activity in postwar-Poland, Belgium, Italy, France, Brazil, and Argentina; Jewish Socialists in Rumania; Bund Resolutions on the Camps; German Socialists and the Jewish Question; Professor Hirsh and Palestine; Discussion in the Bun on the Status of Palestine; On the Bundist Youth Movement in Poland; Special Camps; The Bulletin of the Bund [ie this periodical] in the [DP] Camps; Five Years in the Warsaw Ghetto, by Bernard Goldshtein; Bundist Academy in the Gan Eden Camp in New York; A Memorial for the Bund at the Congress of the French Socialists; etc. The General Jewish Labour Bund in Lithuania, Poland and Russia (Yiddish: algemeyner yidisher arbeter-bund in lite, poyln un rusland), generally called The Bund or the Jewish Labour Bund, was a secular Jewish socialist party.... founded in Vilnius on October 7, 1897 ..In 1917 the Polish part of the Bund, which dated to the times when Poland was a Russian territory, seceded from the Russian Bund and created a new Polish General Labor Bund which continued to operate in Poland in the years between the two world wars .The Bund sought to unite all Jewish workers in the Russian Empire into a united socialist party, and also to ally itself with the wider Russian social democratic movement to achieve a democratic and socialist Russia. The Russian Empire then included Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine and most of present-day Poland, areas where the majority of the world's Jews then lived. They hoped to see the Jews achieve a legal minority status in Russia. Of all Jewish political parties of the time, the Bund was the most progressive regarding gender equality, with women making up more than one-third of all members. The Bund actively campaigned against anti-Semitism. It defended Jewish civil and cultural rights and rejected assimilation. However, the close promotion of Jewish sectional interests and support for the concept of Jewish national unity (klal yisrael) was prevented by the socialist universalism of the Bund. The Bund avoided any automatic solidarity with Jews of the middle and upper classes and generally rejected political cooperation with Jewish groups that held religious, Zionist or conservative views. Even the anthem of the Bund, known as "the oath" (di shvue in Yiddish), written in 1902 by Sh. An-ski, contained no explicit reference to Jews or Jewish suffering. At the heart of the vision of the future of the Bund was the idea that there is no contradiction between the national aspect on the one hand and the socialist aspect on the other. As a strictly secular organization, the Bund renounced the Holy Land and the sacred language (Hebrew) and chose to speak Yiddish .In its early years the Bund had remarkable success, gaining an estimated 30,000 members in 1903 and an estimated 40,000 supporters in 1906, making it the largest socialist group in the Russian Empire . the Bund was a founding collective member at the RSDLP's first congress in Minsk in March 1898. For the next 5 years, the Bund was recognized as the sole representative of the Jewish workers in the RSDLP, although many Russian socialists of Jewish descent, especially outside of the Pale of Settlement, joined the RSDLP directly .The Bund generally sided with the party's Menshevik faction led by Julius Martov and against the Bolshevik faction led by Vladimir Lenin during the factional struggles in the run-up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 .In the Polish areas of the [Russian] empire, the Bund was a leading force in the 1905 revolution. At that time the organization probably reached the height of its influence. It called for an improvement in living standards, a more democratic political system and the introduction of equal rights for Jews. At least in the early stages of the first Russian Revolution, the armed groups of the "Bund" were likely the strongest revolutionary force in Western Russia. During the following years, the Bund went into a period of decay .The Bund eventually came to strongly oppose Zionism, arguing that emigration to Palestine was a form of escapism. The Bund did not advocate separatism. Instead, it focused on culture, rather than a state or a place, as the glue of Jewish nationalism. . The Bund also promoted the use of Yiddish as a Jewish national language and to some extent opposed the Zionist project of reviving Hebrew. The Bund won converts mainly among Jewish artisans and workers, but also among the growing Jewish intelligentsia. It led a trade union movement of its own. It joined with the Poalei Zion (Labour Zionists) and other groups to form self-defense organisations to protect Jewish communities against pogroms and government troops. During the Russian Revolution of 1905 the Bund headed the revolutionary movement in the Jewish towns, particularly in Belarus and Ukraine ..In 1921, the Communist Bund [in the USSR] dissolved itself and its members sought admission to the Communist Party....Many former Bundists, like Mikhail Liber and David Petrovsky, perished during Stalin's purges in the 1930s. The Polish Bundists continued their activities until 1948. During the latter half of the 20th century the Bundist legacy was represented through the International Jewish Labor Bund, a federation of local Bundist groups around the world .Among the exiled Bundists who went on with Socialist politics in America was Baruch Charney Vladeck (18861938), elected to the New York Board of Aldermen as a Socialist in 1917 [and] 1937 [and] manager of The Jewish Daily Forward Moishe Lewis (18881950)....the father of David Lewis (19091981), a leader of the New Democratic Party in Canada .David Dubinsky (18921982), though never formally a member of the party, had joined the bakers' union, which was controlled by the Bund, and was elected assistant secretary within the union by 1906 ..He later became a member of the Socialist Party of America, helped found the American Labor Party in 1936 and was from 1932 till 1966 the leader of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union ..under the name Max Goldfarb, David Petrovsky (18861937) was a member of the Central Committee of the Jewish Socialist Federation of America, a member of the Socialist Party of America, and the labor editor of The Forward (Wikipedia).

In Venetia, per Giovan. Griffio, 1569, in-4, pergamena coeva con residui di laccetti, pp. 254. Piatti semi-staccati, qualche mancanza, sciolte le prime carte, con difetti minori. Iniziali, diagrammi di formazioni di battaglia e 12 figure xilografiche nel testo. Una nota coeva (formula apotropaica a difesa del volume?) manoscritta in inchiostro al piatto anteriore. Nonostante all'esemplare manchino l'intera segnatura a8 (contenente frontespizio, dedicatorie al duca di Parma Ottavio Farnese e al nobiluomo Marc' Antonio Fiubbi, Accademico Stordito come l'autore) e le carte 2E2 e 2I4 (c. bianca) siamo riusciti a stabilire tramite impronta che si tratta della rara 1a edizione di quest'opera apparsa in 3 versioni: questa, stampata nel 1569 da Griffio; quella del 1570, che a partire dall'invenduto acquistato da Giolito di Ferrarij, ristampa con dedicatoria invariata al Farnese ma con 2a prefazione indirizzata al marchese Malaspina, a cura di Tommaso Porcacchi; infine una 3a formata da alcune copie di questa edizione che apparirono anche con marca dell'editore Vincenzo Valgrisio. Assai rara perchè quasi tutte le copie sopravvissute riportano il frontespizio del Giolitti. Il bolognese Mora (c. 1536-1610?), che vantava origini nobiliari nel Cantone dei Grigioni, fu scrittore di militaria (la sua 1a opera, del 1567 è dedicata a Cosimo de' Medici), ma sopratutto uomo d'armi al servizio di Stefan Batory e Sigismund III Vasa; fervente cattolico, considerò suo dovere di militare la difesa della fede cristiana contro l'eresia protestante e contro Turchi e Tatari.

1939187411939. Polish Jewish family photographs created between 1934 and 1939 documenting Jewish life in Poland during the final years before the outbreak of World War II and the destruction of much of Eastern European Jewry. The photographs record members of a Polish Jewish family including men women and children during a period when Jewish communities remained deeply rooted throughout Poland but faced increasing political hostility and anti-Semitic agitation across Central Europe. Poland contained one of the largest Jewish populations in Europe during the inter war period with many families living in small Jewish communities often referred to as shutters as well as in larger towns and cities. The images capture everyday family and community life immediately before the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 a moment that would fundamentally transform the lives of Jewish communities across the region.<br /> <br /> Photo archive consisting of 21 silver gelatin photographs mounted in a photograph album together with 10 additional loose photographs. Images measure approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches and depict family members in individual portraits group gatherings and scenes of school children assembled in large smiling groups. Several photographs carry handwritten inscriptions on the verso written in Polish and possibly Yiddish indicating personal exchanges between family members or relatives. Among the photographs are two portraits of a Polish Jewish man wearing Polish Army uniform one dated 1939 documenting Jewish participation in the Polish armed forces in the months immediately preceding the outbreak of war. The album pages preserve images of family gatherings and posed portraits reflecting domestic and social life within a Polish Jewish household during the final years of the inter war period.<br /> <br /> The photographs were created during a period of growing political instability in Europe that culminated in the German invasion of Poland on September 1 1939. That invasion followed the collapse of the German Polish non aggression agreement and the signing of the German Soviet pact that divided Poland between the two powers. German forces entered Poland with a large mechanized army supported by aircraft and armored divisions overwhelming the Polish military within weeks despite organized resistance. Jewish citizens served in the Polish armed forces and were present throughout the country's military and civilian life before the war. Album measuring approximately 15 x 11 inches containing 21 mounted photographs and accompanied by 10 loose photographs. Minor edge wear present with occasional cracks to several prints that do not affect the clarity of the images. Many photographs bear inscriptions and dates on the verso. Overall condition very good. unknown
1944187231944. Polish Armed Forces soldiers serving with Allied forces during World War II documented in a group of photographs dating from 1945 to 1946 preserving visual evidence of the Polish II Corps and its role in the Italian Campaign. The Polish II Corps formed from Polish soldiers who had been released from Soviet imprisonment after the German invasion of the Soviet Union and were reorganized under Allied command receiving training in the Middle East before deployment to the Mediterranean theater. These troops participated in some of the most difficult operations of the Italian Campaign including the assault on German defensive positions at Monte Cassino in 1944 one of the decisive engagements that opened the road to Rome for Allied forces. The photographs record the presence of Polish soldiers in Italy during the final stages of the war and in the immediate aftermath of Allied victory.<br /> <br /> Photo archive consisting of 34 black and white silver gelatin photographs depicting members of the Polish Armed Forces serving with Allied units in Italy and surrounding regions during and immediately after the war. The photographs include individual portraits and group images of soldiers in uniform along with scenes of soldiers posed in front of prominent Roman landmarks such as St. Peter's Basilica the Colosseum and the Giuseppe Garibaldi monument. Several photographs show large groups of soldiers assembled near military vehicles and supply trucks while others depict soldiers aboard ships likely involved in transport within the Mediterranean theater. Many photographs carry inscriptions on the verso written in Polish including references to "Włochy" the Polish word for Italy confirming the location of the photographs. Some images show soldiers standing among palm trees suggesting photographs taken during the earlier phase of the corps' movement through the Middle East before deployment to Italy.<br /> <br /> By the end of the war the Polish forces serving alongside Allied armies had expanded significantly and the soldiers photographed here belonged to a formation that grew to more than 100000 personnel. After the war many Polish soldiers faced uncertain futures as their homeland fell within the Soviet sphere of influence following the war's conclusion. Photographs documenting Polish soldiers in the Italian theater therefore preserve visual records of a military force composed largely of displaced individuals who continued fighting under Allied command despite the political upheaval affecting their country. Thirty four silver gelatin photographs measuring approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches to 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Minor edge wear present; overall condition very good. unknown
1st edition. Period boards with gilt lettering. 4to. [272 pages], 33 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to The Time: A Periodical of Politics, Literature, and Science for All Matters Related to Jews and Judaism. One of the early Haskalah Hebrew literary journals published out of Galicia. Issued a weekly basis (September 1890 - May 1891) . The periodical appeared under the names Ha-Zeman and Ru'a? Ha-Zeman in alternate weeks, to avoid paying the duty levied on a weekly. (EJ, 2007) . As YIVO notes, even after the center of the Hebrew Haskalah movement had passed to Russia, animated literary life persisted in Galicia until the beginning of the twentieth century, though it was mainly local and provincial in character. This activity found expression in a broad spectrum of periodicals including Ha-Zeman. YIVO, 2018) Not to be confused with the later-published Hebrew newspaper of the same name, but published from 1903-1915. SUBJECTS: Hebrew periodicals -- Poland.
