In Europe too, many Jews of the younger generation who had not known Nazism asked the same question. The fact is that in the world of concentration camps all peoples behaved identically: a conditioning process carefully worked out by the S.S. assured the submission of the condemned. In 1947, in Les Jours de notre mort, Rousset wrote: "The triumph of the S.S. required that the tortured victim allow himself to be led to the gallows without protesting, that he repudiate and abandon himself to the point where he ceased to affirm his identity. There is nothing more terrible than these processions of human beings going to their death like dummies." Among the Russian prisoners, communists and political commissars were separated from the rest and consigned to a rapid extermination: in spite of their ideological and military preparation, they put their courage into dying, but no resistance was possible. the young sabras of Israel asked each other indignantly at the time of the Eichmann trial.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Lloyd Frankenberg. For the Rescue of Refugees, an Appeal for Emergency Legislation. American Committee to Save Refugees, NYC, 1942. 8.5x5.5", 15pp. Original wrappers. [++] Provenance: Library of Congress, and previous to that the library of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the modern CIA). VG copy. [++] Mr. Frankenberg was a teacher and a poet, receiving Guggenheimer and Rockefeller grants to pursue his work He was also a CO during WWII. This pamphlet is his response to what was seen (by the American Committee to Save Refugees) as a desperate need to increase the quotas of allowable numbers of refugees coming into the U.S. There are several mentions of "imported manual labor" (meaning slave labor, in this case, from Poland) and "internment camps" which are later referred to in the pamphlet as "concentration camps", though the attention to these is limited to France. There is a short discussion of what would be the infamous concentration camp of Gurs, and Argeles-sur-Mer, "and the other camps" having "two watchful enemies: disease and starvation". There is also a discussion of the "unsanitary" conditions at these camps leading to "scurvy, pellagra, malaria, dysentery, diarrhea, pneumonia, and typhoid fever" where "at Gurs along, fifteen to twenty-five deaths were reported every day". (If only those deaths were so "few".) Later in the pamphlet there is another description of Gurs, this time s a "concentration camp", holding its share of the 150,000 people being held in such camps throughout France.

Needs re doing. Two volumes. One small 4to, 140 pp. Paginated by Whelen. Notebook of good laid paper, in boards covered in patterned paper, with the word 'BIOGRAPHICAL' in faded red manuscript at head of front cover. Text neatly written and clear and complete. Good: internally sound and tight on lightly-aged paper; in worn and chipped boards. The flyleaf is dated 1939, with Whelen's addresses given as the Royal Societies Club, St James's St, and 5 Place de la Taconnerie, Geneva. These addresses have been crossed out and replaced by the Reform Club in Pall Mall, and with a final address of 14 Linden Gardens, Kensington, 'from Dec. 1949'. Whelen was interned in Paris during the Second World War, and p.139 of the notebook is headed '1940 Dec.', and gives the names, and a few details, of Whelen's '5 Companions in a small room' at the Nazi transit camp Fort de Romainville, all five having Jewish surnames. Tipped in on the following pages are ten pieces of paper, of various sizes, carrying the names and some details of individuals with whom Whelen was interned at Fort de Romainville and Drancy. A few entries are apparently made by the individuals themselves, for example, '91 Jacques Goldenberg Pharmacien a Paris | Palestinienne' and 'SOLOMONS CHARLES MONTAGUE | 884 - Room 19-2 | 65 years 4 months | 14-3-76 | 47 years same address Paris | Femme francaise | fils francais'. One list (4to, 1 p) of thirty (mostly English) names, with numbers and dates of birth, is docketed 'Names of Fellow Internees over 65 yrs of age at Drancy in 1941'. Another list of nine English names, with numbers and ages, is headed 'Bloc 4. Escalier 12 Chambre'. Another list of ten English names is headed 'Ward 4 Room 13/2 MEN 65 yrs'. The rest of the notebook is a mishmash of mainly reminiscent matter, with the first thirteen pages consisting of a string of phrases of personal significance, apparently for working up into an autobiography. The first page opens: 'The signed door at Grooms, signed during World War. | Bath. The scratchings on the window panes at Citizen House. | Wirral to St. Helen's, Sunday, The Hearse and the deaf Widow. | The Orient Express. Sofia-Geneva. Bulgarian war Minister. The trousers. Garnett.' Further on: 'Bertrand Russell. Copenhagen, Amsterdam. Croydon & Hackney Town Hall.' And also: 'The lost Caxton Print. David Mills and the Max Beerbohm Cartoon of Zangwill. | B. Fo. Sir Oswald Mosley. Albert Hall. "Yes, Master Mosley, you may leave the room."' Around five pages relate to the Stage Society. These include a note headed 'S.S. Mrs. Warren's Profession. 1902', describing the difficulty Whelen and the Society had in staging Shaw's play ('3 Hotels & 2 Picture Galleries | One picture gallery after agreeing & after I had had tickets printed, withdrew consent. | The Banqueting Hall of a Hotel agreed and later withdrew its consent.') Given are the names of the cast of that performance '5/6 1. 1902', and of the cast of the 'S.S. 1st perf. 26.11.1899 Sunday', as well as of the fourteen names of the 'S.S. Managing Committee 1902/3.' Two pages, headed 'Stage Society', begin 'Founded 1899. 50 Programmes 37 English plays 25 Foreign plays } 1899/1909.' There follow a breakdown by nationality of the foreign authors, a list of the 'First plays produced', and another list of four 'Censored' plays. Elsewhere in the volume are a note and cutting relating to the Chelsea Singers ('Soprano. Winifred Whelen'); a reminiscence of a visit in 1931 to Whelen's Paris flat of a group of 'English schoolboys and school girls', together with a transcript of a letter to Whelen by the group's leader David Eldridge; a reminiscence of 'a meeting in Knaresborough'; an entry relating to Whelen's foundation of the Nomad Society; a list of signatures from Whelen's 'first Birthday Book'; brief monetary details of the time Whelen 'Lived with Grant Richards at 12 Barton St Westminster'. Also included is a transcription of a letter (6 June 1936) to Whelen from Sidney Webb, concerni.…

Pp.32 printed on newspaper quality paper. 44 photogravures of images. An untrimmed copy. Some creasing to very edges, a little spotting on the rear wrapper and some trace of a fold down the middle but an incredibly good, untrimmed copy of a very delicate and rare item. A very important and extremely scarce publication produced shortly after the end of the war to be distributed in Germany by the Americans to show ordinary German people the horrors of the Concentration Camps (KZ being an abbreviation of the German Konzentrationslagern). Problems with distribution meant that it was not as widely seen as was intended and its delicate nature, along with its challenging subject matter, mean that very few survive and it is not known how many were produced. This coverage of Belsen, Buchenwald, Gardelegen, Nordhausen and Ohrduf is seen as one of most important uses of documentary photography in the 20th century and this book, together with some later photographs, provided important evidence for the Nuremberg trials.…

Condición: In fine condition. Contains 44 photographs, taken during the liberation of five concentration camps: Buchenwald, Belsen, Gardelegen, Nordhausen and Ohrdruf. First photo publication in postwar Germany. (28) p. The aim of publishing this brochure by the American Office of War Information and the Psychological Warfare Division was to show the German population the horror of the death camps in Germany. However because of the inefficiency of the distribution most of the pamphlets were given to prisoners of war camps. Despite the large number of the publication only a few copies remained.The photographs of the pamphlet played important role as evidences in the Nuremberg Trials.It includes the famous and controversial photo of the Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel in Buchenwald (first published in the "New York Times" on May 6, 1945 with the caption "Crowded Bunks in the Prison Camp at Buchenwald" taken inside Block 56 by Private H. Miller of the Civil Affairs Branch of the U. S. Army Signal Corps on April 16, 1945.) [Parr-Badger I. p. 188; 194., Cornelia Brink - Ikonen der Vernichtung.
