Añadir al carrito1st edition. Original illustrated red and white paper wrappers. 8vo. 16 pages. 22 cm. National Government Publication. Printed in red and black ink. Includes a note by Polish Foreign Minister Edward Raczynski and speeches by Deputy Prime Minister Stanislaw Mikolajczyk. The official 16-page diplomatic publication from December 19…42 by the Polish Government-in-Exile in London, marking a turning point in international understanding of the Nazi destruction of the Jews of Europe. Jan Karski, a courier for the Polish Underground, had smuggled microfilmed evidence and intelligence out of occupied Poland to London. This raw intelligence, gathered from his time secretly inside the Warsaw Ghetto and the Izbica transit camp, formed the core of the facts published in the booklet. "In October 1942, at the height of the destruction of Polish Jewry, [Jan] Karski [born Jan Kozielewski] was ordered to clandestinely go to the West and deliver a report on the situation of occupied Poland to the Polish government-in-exile in London. The situation of the Jews in Poland was to be one section of that report. Since the government in exile was concerned with the internal politics of Poland's underground parties, Karski held meetings with the different factions, including the Jewish Zionist and the Jewish Socialist Bund movements. Thus, shortly before his departure, Karski met with two Jewish leaders who asked him to inform the world's statesmen of the desperate plight of Polish Jewry and of the hopelessness of their situation. Their message was: 'Our entire people will be destroyed.' The Jewish leaders' appeals touched Karski and he decided to see things with his own eyes in order to make his report. With great risk to his life, he was smuggled into the Warsaw ghetto and into a camp in the Lublin area. The horrors he witnessed marked him deeply and propelled him to become not only the messenger of the Polish underground, but to concentrate on giving voice to the suffering of the dying Jews. In November 1942, Karski reached London, delivered the report to the Polish government-in-exile, and set out to meet Winston Churchill, other politicians, journalists, and public figures. Upon completing his mission, Karski went on to the United States, where he met with President Roosevelt and other dignitaries, and tried in vain to stir up public opinion against the massacre of the Jews. In 1944, while in the United States, Karski wrote a book on the Polish Underground (Story of a Secret State), with a long chapter on the Jewish Holocaust in Poland. After the war, Karski stayed in the United States where he was later appointed Professor at Georgetown University, Washington DC. On 2 June 1982, Yad Vashem recognized Jan Karski as Righteous Among the Nations" (Yad Vashem). Leading Holocaust scholar Lucy Dawidowicz cites the booklet in her now classic work, "The Holocaust and the Historians" (Harvard, 1983, p. 167); the report could not be more explicit in its description of the horrors nor in its plea for help: "The new methods of mass slaughter applied during the last few months confirm the fact that the German authorities aim with systematic deliberation at the total extermination of the Jewish population of Poland and of the many thousands of Jews whom the German authorities have departed to Poland from Western and Central European countries and from the German Reich itself. The Polish Government considers it their duty to bring to the knowledge of the Governments of all civilised countries the following fully authenticated information received from Poland during recent weeks, which indicates all too plainly the new methods of extermination adopted by the German authorities." The report elaborates: "The actual process of deportation was carried out with appalling brutality. At the appointed hour on each day the German police cordoned off a block of houses selected for clearance, entered the back yard and fired their guns at random, as a signal for all to leave th.

Añadir al carritoSoftcover. Condición: g to von-. First edition. Octavo (8 1/4 x 6"). 93pp. + 13 leaves of double sided photographic plates (interleaved, and unpaginated). Illustrated tan, red and black wrappers, with black lettering on the front cover. Photographic b/w frontispiece. Spóldzielnia Wydawnicza "Czytelnik." Possibly an earlier publi…cation on lower quality paper compare to a slightly smaller publication by the "Library of the Union of Polish Patriots in the USSR" (Biblioteczka Zwiazku Patriotów Polskich w ZSRR), with the same text in different layout. That publication issued on higher quality paper and with twenty-eight photogravures, three more than in this publication, with twelve photographs appearing in both publications though in lesser quality here. Court Proceedings of the Polish-Soviet Special Criminal Court established in Lublin in August 1944, in order to investigate the crimes committed by the Germans in the Majdanek extermination camp. Despite the importance of this document, it must be mentioned that the Commission made erroneous assumptions regarding the duration of the camp and the number of people killed at Majdanek. The Publishing cooperative "Czytelnik" was established behind Soviet front lines in 1944. It became the first post-World War II. publisher in Poland. The total numbers 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 (See: Kranz, T.: "Bookkeeping of Death and Prisoner Mortality at Majdanek." pp. 81-110. In: Silberklang, D. (Ed.): Yad Vashem Studies. Vol. 35:1. Jerusalem, 2007]. Illustrated with 25 pages of b/w photographic reproductions (including a frontispiece), on 13 double-sided interleaved plates, altogether thirty-two photographs depicting members of the Commission, Nazi guards (now prisoners) who used to run the camp, and survivors alike testifying before the Commission. Also includes views of the actual concentration camp, piles of suitcases, Zyklon B poison gas pellets, gas chambers, ovens, and survivors amid corpses. Wrappers with some chipping, rubbing, creasing and/or closed tears to extremities. Small stain on the back cover, and side edge of book block. Verso of frontispiece with a vertical crease. Some pages throughout with some light age toning or small water spots. Overall text and images clear and vibrant. Wrappers in good, interior in very good- condition overall. *One of two editions of this work published in Moscow and Krakow in 1945. It is not certain which was released first. Each has different wrappers, size, pagination and publishers.
