In June 1606 Archduke Matthias in the name of the Emperor Rudolph II concluded the Treaty of Vienna with the rebellious Hungarians by granting extensive concessions and in November of the same year he concluded the truce of Zsitvatörök with the Sultan Ahmed I. "By the peace of Vienna Stephen Bocskay obtained religious liberty and political autonomy the restoration of all confiscated estates the repeal of all unrighteous judgments and a complete retrospective amnesty for all the Magyars in royal Hungary besides his own recognition as independent sovereign prince of the enlarged Transylvania. This treaty is remarkable as being the first constitutional compact between the ruling dynasty and the Hungarian nation. Almost equally important was the twenty years truce of Zsitvatörök negotiated by Bocskay between the emperor and the sultan which established for the first time a working equilibrium between the three parts of Hungary with a distinct political preponderance in favour of Transylvania The emperor on the other hand was freed from the humiliating annual tribute to the Porte on payment of a war indemnity of 400000 ".

Original cream stapled wraps with title printed in black to back cover protected by modern mylar. To the Honorable Upper and Lower House of the Parliament. Respectful petition of the representatives of the Hungarian Jewish community concerning "Bill No. 72. regarding the restriction of Jews in public and economic life". <br /> <br /> Official petition of the Hungarian Jews regarding the bill of the Second Anti-Jewish Law No. IV:1939. The Second Anti-Jewish Law was one of a series of anti-Jewish measures passed by the Hungarian Parliament between 1938 and 1941 and the first Hungarian law providing a "racial" definition of the Jewish status according to the Nuremberg Race Law of 1935. Besides of other severe deprivations it sets a ceiling of six percent reduced from twenty of Jews being allowed to work in various financial and commercial professions as well as industrial enterrises employing more than ten persons. It also excluded the Jews from state administrations and jurisdiction prohibited Jews from teaching high school reenacted the Numerus Clausus at universities and partly rescinded their right to vote.<br /> <br /> Bill No. 702 the Second Anti-Jewish Law was drafted by István Antal state secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Pál Teleki Minister of Religion and Education and was presented for debate before Parliament on December 23 1938. The petition aimed to sway Parliament to disapprove the law claiming it being unconstitutional and delinquent in view of legal equality human rights and the Divine Law and furthermore relinquishing social justice and threatening national unity the emancipation granted by the laws of 1849 and 1867 in short it was deemed to be against the national interest of Hungary. The petition was unsuccessful the bill was approved by Parliament and was signed into law on May 5 1939 effecting the Hungarian Jewry severely with more than 90 thousand Jews losing their jobs and thus lowering the living conditions of approximately 220000 people significantly.

(1945) . Original Illustrated Paper Wrappers, Small 8vo, 216 pages. Eredeti borítóval. Includes 9 powerful original linocut illustrations, and cover design, by Shagra Weil. Also includes a bit of music.Title translates as "The Yellow Book. Data on the War Losses of Hungarian Jewry. 1941-1945." One of the earliest book about the Hungarian Holocaust. Published by Hechaluc (Hehalutz), the Zionist resistant movement, whose legendary headquarters was located at the Üvegház (Glasshouse) in Budapest, a former glass-store. During the Holocaust about 3000 people found shelter there and it was the center for producing fake identification documents to save Hungarian Jews from persecution. Shraga Weil (Ferenc Ferdinánd; 1918-2009) was a Hungarian born Israeli painter. He studied at the Academy of Art in Prague and École des Beaux Arts in Paris. During WWII he was active in the Zionist underground movement in Budapest, working in the workshop for forging documents. After the war he sailed for Palestine on an illegal immigrant ship and became a member of Kibbutz Ha'ogen where he lived until his death. In 1959 Weil was awarded the Dizengoff Prize for painting. He created the doors of the main entrance to the Knesset building and the President's residence in Jerusalem. Weil painted the wooden panels in the Israeli Hall at the Kennedy Center. Sándor Groszmann (Alexander Grossmann, Ben Erec; 1909-2003) was a journalist and publisher, one of the main activists of the Hungarian Zionist movement and co-founder of "Hashomer Hatzair" in Hungary. He was one of the leaders at the "Glasshouse". "When the argument arose about whether to absorb more Jews into the 'Glass House' as they might endanger the lives of those already living there, he said: 'For the sake of one hundred thousand Jews it is worth to endanger our own lives'". (Gur, D.; 2007). After the liberation he was the secretary of JDC (American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee) in Budapest and member of the board of the Hungarian Zionist Association and of the "Eretz-Israel" office. In 1949 he left Hungary and after living in Austria and Israel he settled down in Switzerland where he started to publish books and the periodical "Jöv?" (Future).
