Original Wraps. 12mo. 16 pages. 20 cm. First edition. Holocaust-era Statement of Withdrawal of the AJC from the American Jewish Conference. A contemporary news report described the withdrawal as such: The withdrawal of the American Jewish Committee from the American Jewish Conference was announced here last night following a full-day session of its executive committee attended by seventy-five leading representatives of Jewish communities throughout the country. The session was presided over by Jacob Blaustein, chairman of the General Committee. Protesting this decision, three Zionist members of the American Jewish Committee resigned and telegraphed other members urging them to do likewise. A statement on the position of the American Jewish Committee, presented by its president Joseph M. Proskauer, declared that 'the present demand for the eventual establishment of a Jewish Commonwealth in Palestine, made by the American Jewish Conference, and constituting one of its major decisions, as well as the subordination of other Jewish issues to the problem of the political structure of Palestine, are in such essential disagreement with the fundamental views of the American Jewish Committee that in the best interests of Jews in this and other countries, including Palestine, the Committee feels impelled to withdraw from the American Jewish Conference. ' The statement reaffirms the desire of the American Jewish Committee 'to utilize for the Jews of Europe the broadest opportunities which Palestine can offer. ' It assures that the Committee 'will apply its most diligent efforts to bring about the abrogation of the White Paper which closes the doors of Palestine to further Jewish immigration and restricts Jewish land purchase. ' At the same time it expresses the conviction that the problems of world Jewry cannot be solved by a single political panacea and that 'the salvation and rehabilitation of the stricken Jews of Europe cannot be achieved through Palestine alone and certainly not through overemphasis on the political constitution of Palestine. It can be achieved only by considering Palestine a part of the larger program which looks to the rehabilitation and resettlement of Jews throughout the world and the restoration of their equal rights. - JTA October 26, 1943.

Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 11 pages; 19 cm. A Holocaust-era program investigating how being Jewish affects American Jews lives, attempting to describe and analyze the social situation for Jews in 1941, the middle of WWII. It should not be inferred that antisemitism and other barriers are the only factors which keep the Jewish group from disappearing. Much of the Jewish social and economic concentration is kept up by Jews as a matter of habit and tradition. However, many of these bonds seem to be losing their effectiveness for young American Jews, since such Jewish interests have no prestige-value in general American society. Avukah was an educational and cultural student Zionist organization on college campuses across America. SUBJECT (S) : American Jews, Social conditions, Zionism. OCLC lists 3 copies worldwide (National Library of Israel, Balch Inst for Ethnic Studies Libr, Univ of Texas, Austin, Harry Ransom. ) Slight toning. Minimal markings.

1st Edition. Original Paper Wrappers. 8vo. 28 pages ; 23 cm. From The Young Jew Series; Number Two. Includes two essays: Theodor Herzl and History by Buber, and Theodor Herzl and We, by Welsch. Approaching Zionism from his own personal viewpoint, Buber disagreed with Theodor Herzl about the political and cultural direction of Zionism. Herzl envisioned the goal of Zionism in a nation-state, but did not consider Jewish culture or religion necessary. In contrast, Buber believed the potential of Zionism was for social and spiritual enrichment. For example, Buber argued that following the formation of the Israeli state, there would need to be reforms to Judaism: "We need someone who would do for Judaism what Pope John XXIII has done for the Catholic Church". Herzl and Buber would continue, in mutual respect and disagreement, to work towards their respective goals for the rest of their lives. (Wikipedia, 2016) In this essay, Herzl writes, But beyond all definite judgment there rises before us, in the light of history, the personality of Theodor Herzl He was the hero of a period of transition. He was the master of a sick people. His greatest deed is one which he did not achieve of his own will. He gave an image to this people. Not the image of a real living person, but an ideal image, a model comforting and inspiring. It is thus that the poets in their works may cast into human shape their ideal of themselves (Herzl was) a statue beyond fault or blame, bearing the pure features of genius, the countenance lit with the splendor of the messiah. A gift of illusion. A gift of grace. OCLC lists 17 copies worldwide. Some discoloration to Wrappers. Overall about very good condition. (Zion-10-17) xx
