1st Polish edition. Later boards, 8vo, 91 pages. Includes 12 illustrated plates. In Polish. Title translates to Majdanek: Court Proceedings of the Special Criminal Court in Lublin. A recording of court Preceedings of the Polish-Soviet Special Criminal Court established in Lublin in August 1944, in order to investigate the Nazi crimes in the Majdanek extermination camp. This Polish edition was published with several photographic reproductions, showing the members of the commission, the Nazi officers of the camp, the findings, human remains in Majdanek. The Majdanek concentration camp was established on Heinrich Himmler's order and operated from October 1, 1941 until it was liberated by the Soviet Army on July 22, 1944. It is known to be the best preserved Nazi concentration camp of the Holocaust, as the Germans did not have enough time to destroy the evidences of their crimes. The Commission for investigating the German crimes was established in August 1944 and soon they published this booklet in several languages. Despite of the importance of this statement it must be mentioned that the Commission made many erroneous assumptions regarding the duration of the camp or number of people killed at Majdanek, probably because they were motivated rather by political and propaganda agenda than by a search for historical facts. The total number of the victims is still controversial, in this report 1.5 million victims of different nationalities were counted, however according to the latest researches there were 79, 000 victims, 59, 000 of whom were Jews.

Quest'ultima opera era già apparsa nel 1797; l'"Histoire", invece, circolò a lungo manoscritta, prima di essere impressa postuma in questa prima edizione. Nato nella "banlieue" di Parigi, l'A.

La presente opera fu composta per il Delfino, il futuro Luigi XVI, il sovrano ghigliottinato. Ciò gli valse una pensione di 6000 "livres". Rivale di Chamfort et di Rivarol, Rulhière «est un écrivain non seulement spirituel, mais savant et habile, qui, après avoir longtemps disséminé ses finesses et ses élégances sur des sujets de société, a essayé de rassembler finalement ses forces, de les appliquer aux grands sujets de l'histoire, et y a, jusqu'à un certain point, réussi».

New York, No Publisher (United Hebrew Trades) , 1928. Paper Wrappers, Large 4to, 160 pages. 30 cm. In Yiddish. Includes beautiful cover art and period ads and portrait photos. Feinstone (1878-1945),was born in Warsaw and trained as a woodcarver there. "After completing school he emigrated to England where he became president of a woodcarvers' union in London (1895). Later in Birmingham he was active in the beginnings of the British Labour Party. In 1910 Feinstone emigrated to the U.S. where he found employment in various skilled trades, securing permanent work in the umbrella industry. He soon became an official of the Umbrella Handle and Stick Makers' Union and an important figure in the United Hebrew Trades, an organization which sheltered the smaller and weaker American Jewish trade unions. Feinstone was a close associate of the organization's outstanding leader, Max Pine, whom he succeeded as United Hebrew Trades' secretary in 1928. Feinstone continued Pine's policy of supporting the socialist labor sector in Jewish Palestine through the Histadrut. He also represented the United Hebrew Trades on the executive board of the Central Trades and Labor Council of Greater New York, wrote articles in the New York Call and the Yiddish Jewish Daily Forward endorsing socialism and labor Zionism, and worked for the establishment of an independent labor party. With the advent of the New Deal, Feinstone's socialist teachings were incorporated by the American Labor Party, which satisfied his desire for a working class political organization. Thereafter, until his death he concentrated on obtaining support for Jewish labor in Palestine" (Melvyn Dubofsky in EJ). SUBJECT(S):Jewish labor unions -- United States.

In 4° piccolo; 175, (1) pp. Brossura editoriale con piccolo restauro al margine basso del piatto anteriore e al dorso. Prima edizione di questa raccolta poetica del celebre poeta, critico, teorico dell'arte e drammaturgo polacco, nato a Cracovia il 3 maggio 1891, morto a Varsavia il 9 novembre 1969. Fondatore della rivista Zwrotnica (Lo scambio) si oppose alla poetica del gruppo Skamander (che pubblicava l’omonima rivista), fu tra i massimi teorici del movimento poetico dell’avanguardia costruttivista polacca influenzando notevolmente l’opera di Julian Przybos, Jan Brzekowski e Jalu Kurek. Nato da una famiglia di avvocati ebrei si convertì in giovane età al cattolicesimo passando diversi anni della sua giovinezza in Spagna. “Muovendo da una visione ottimistica della civiltà moderna, P. ha elaborato una concezione razionalistico-costruttivista della poesia, intesa come rigorosa organizzazione intellettuale del materiale linguistico, in cui occupano un posto chiave la metafora, una funzione nuova del ritmo e della rima”. La sua poesia è incentrata sulle le “3xM” città, masse e macchine (in polacco miasto, masa, maszyna) che divenne, fra l’altro, il motto dei costruttivisti. La sua teoria della poesia respinse la linea melodica, il versetto sillabato ed il verso libero era consentito solo per quelle metafore che potevano essere interpretate in modo chiaro. Peiper, come i futuristi, si allontanò dalla tradizione poetica, perché a suo avviso, l'incontro con la nuova realtà non poteva avvenire usando i vecchi schemi. Difese un difficile linguaggio nella poesia, perché il poeta non può chiamare direttamente stati ed emozioni, come fa la prosa. Quella qui presentata è la prima edizione della raccolta completa dei lavori costruttivisti di Peiper e contiene oltre alle tre opere “Z”, “Zywe linie” e “Raz”, una serie di componimenti apparsi su “Zwrotnica”, “Telegram” e “Almanach Nowej Sztuki”. Di grande importanza è il testo critico che Peiper antepose alla raccolta, qui pubblicato per la prima volta che raccoglie la teoria estetica e poetica di Peiper. Il testo è a volte stampato in orrizontale a volte in verticale. Rif. Bibl.: NuNukat, Katalog zbiorow Polskich Bibliotek Naukowych, n° zz2002920499.

Varshe [Warsaw]: Farlag "di Velt", 1928. Paper Wrappers, 8vo, 95 pages. Monthly Bundist periodical ran from Vol. I, Nr, 1 (Oct. 1927) to 1932. 23 cm. In Yiddish. Unobtrusive Bund rubber stamp on some volumes. For example, Levin (1977) reports that it was in UNZER TSAYT that the very first reports of the Bund's split over the National Question with the Russian Social Democrats were published (in 1927). The Bund in Poland, here providing its unique Polish Jewish Socialist anti-Zionist perspective. 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).

Acquaforte misure: mm 220 x 167 I Sadeler furono una famiglia di artisti fiamminghi, principalmente incisori di riproduzione, attivi in tutta Europa tra il XVI e il XVII secolo. Lo stile dei membri della famiglia è molto simile e non sempre facilmente distinguibile ma per tre generazioni, spostandosi dall’Olanda all’Italia, fermandosi in Germania e a Praga, questi incisori, editori e commercianti di stampe hanno giocato un ruolo centrale nella diffusione delle immagini. Dal 1572 Jan/Johan lavorò ad Anversa centro mondiale della stampa, e divenne anche un maestro della Corporazione di San Luca. Con suo fratello minore Rafael il Vecchio si trasferì inizialmente a Colonia ma i tumulti della rivolta olandese costrinsero gli artisti di Anversa a spostarsi e così i Sadeler giunsero in Italia nel 1593 in particolare a Venezia dove aprirono una stamperia. Il culto di San Giacinto, santificato da Clemente VIII nel 1594, ebbe larga diffusione tra il XVI e il XVII secolo. Jacko Odrovaz è stato un Predicatore polacco, nato in Slesia nel 1183 e morto a Cracovia nel 1257, dopo l'incontro in Italia con Domenico di Cuzman decise di farsi domenicano ricevendo l'ordine di diffondere l'ordine domenicano in Europa Orientale. Fondò i conventi di Danzica, Cracovia, Friesach e Kiev, favorì l'unione della chiesa d'oriente con quella d'occidente. A Kiev, durante un attacco dei Tartari si dice che gli apparse la Vergine chiedendogli di portare in salvo una sua statua. Questa stampa è tratta da una pala d'altare, oggi al Museo del Louvre (Louvre), commissionata dalla famiglia emiliana Turrini a Ludovico Carracci nel 1594 per la cappella di famiglia in San Domenico a Bologna raffigura esattamente l'apparizione della Vergine. Rispetto al dipinto lo sfondo appare semplificato, tra le rigonfie nubi non ci sono angeli ma teste di cherubini, e la lapide che occupa la parete di sinistra nel dipinto scompare nell'incisione. Tuttavia le parole scritte su di essa ora escono della bocca della Vergine “Gaude fili Iacinte quia oraziones tuae / gratae sunt filio meo, et quidquid ab eo / per me petiris impetrabis“. La Vergine è comodamente seduta su di una nuvola, avvolta nel suo abito panneggiato, il Bambin Gesù a figura stante accanto alla Madre guarda il santo inginocchiato sulla destra il quale, con le braccia in segno di devozione, ascolta e osserva le figure divine. L'atmosfera argentea ottenuta grazie all'uso controllato del bulino, zone d'ombra costruite con equidistanti linee parallele, l'impiego di aree non incise in corrispondenza delle superfici del panneggio colpite dalla luce, conferiscono viva solennità alla composizione. Firma in basso a sinistra: “J. Sadeler sculp. Venetiis”. Oltre l'immagine due righe in latino "S.Iacinctus Polonus, S. Dominici socius et discipulus, et ordinis Praedicatorum/primus in septentrione fundator”. Impressione eccellente, fresca e ben contrastata. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Minimi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Filigrana: mezza luna. Bibliografia: Un altro esemplare è conservato presso la Biblioteca Casanatense di Roma.
