Descripci�n

6 3/8" x 4". Stapled thin card wrappers. Pp. iv, 85. Very good plus: minimal wear, lightly toned, prior owner penciled name to front wrap. This is a handbook created by the Displaced Persons Division No. 3 of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) for its staff who were assisting refugees residing and/or working in Germany during World War II. It lays out, with impeccable detail, the myriad challenges faced by foreign laborers at the time. The UNRRA was established in November 1943 to aid victims of war. While the United States was the leading source of funding, support came from 44 nations in total. UNRRA is largely seen as a success, having distributed billions of dollars worth of necessities like food, clothing, shelter and medical care. Its founding agreement related that, "immediately upon the liberation of any area by the armed forces of the United Nations . . . preparation and arrangements shall be made for the return of prisoners and exiles to their homes." UNRRA ran hundreds of resettlement camps, many in occupied Germany, housing over seven million people. It was dissolved in September 1948. This handbook contains painstaking detail on what feels like every possible danger facing refugees working in Germany. It has 62 enumerated passages broken down into ten chapters: the legal status of foreign workers; how those workers were administered pre- and post-Hitler; their housing conditions; food rationing; clothes rationing; racial discrimination; wages and insurance; public assistance opportunities; healthcare; and, female and child workers. There is much detail on Nazi efforts that led to the current desperate conditions facing displaced workers as well as the dilapidated state of camp accommodations such as, "housing, behind a facade of order and cleanliness, has always been a black spot in Germany. The German worker lived in flats which were too small judged by Anglo-American standards. When the Nazis came into power there was a shortage of at least one million houses. Instead of building homes, the Nazis built barracks and showy 'Olympic' stadia . . . in consequence from 1937 onwards the German masses lived in appalling housing conditions, as the Nazis admitted themselves . . . Millions of workers are now living in huts and allotment shacks, and accommodation is strictly rationed. Lodgers and billetees are crammed into every possible house, but the Party Bureaucracy and the rich evade the regulations by every trick. The foreign workers of course have the least chance of securing lodgings." The chapter on race discrimination shared that there were "at least 115 different racial groups distinguished in Nazi labour legislation," all of them then further subdivided into categories: "Peoples are split, minority is set against minority, and the bait of reclassification is dangled before every foreign worker." It was also noted that "the worst treatment is reserved for the Jews and Gypsies." The final 23 pages of the book lay out a list of alphabetized German terms with their English counterparts and where they are explained in the book. For example, the term "Rassensiedlungs-Hauptamt," directed the UNRRA worker to "Central Office for Racial Settlement" in section 62 which further described the heartbreaking regulations related to children, including how to handle Polish children below employable age: "deserted children, orphans, children of parents serving prison sentence of more than 2 and less than 6 months are not to be repatriated if they are considered suitable for 'Germanisation.' Their names are to be submitted to the S.S. Central Offices for Racial Settlement in Lodz, Bythom and Danzig. Children under 5 years of age are considered suitable for 'Germanisation' and sent to orphanages, etc. for German children. There the means of identifying them will disappear and it will be impossible for their parents ever to find them. Children between 5 and 8 years of age who are old enough to rememb.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, ?The Extraordinary History of the Every Day?, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.
