Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First American Edition. A nine-and-a-half-hour documentary on the Nazi extermination camps, SHOAH (the Hebrew word for "Holocaust") was internationally hailed as a masterpiece upon its release in 1985. Shunning any re-creation, archival footage, or visual documentation of the events, filmmaker Claude Lanzmann relied on the words of witnesses—Jewish, Polish, and German—to describe in ruthless detail the bureaucratic machinery of the Final Solution, so that the remote experiences of the Holocaust became fresh and immediate. This book presents in an accessible and vivid format the testimony of survivors, participants, witnesses, and scholars. This tenth anniversary edition, published on the fiftieth anniversary of the liberation of the camps, is newly revised and corrected in order to more accurately present the actual testimony of those interviewed. SHOAHis an unparalleled oral history of the Holocaust, an intensely readable journey through the twentieth century's greatest horror. Contains the complete text of Claude Lanzmann's film.

"Treblinka was an extermination camp, built and operated by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland during World War II. It was located in a forest north-east of Warsaw, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the Treblinka train station in what is now the Masovian Voivodeship. The camp operated between 23 July 1942 and 19 October 1943 as part of Operation Reinhard, the deadliest phase of the Final Solution. During this time, it is estimated that between 700,000 and 900,000 Jews were killed in its gas chambers, along with 2,000 Romani people. More Jews were killed at Treblinka than at any other Nazi extermination camp apart from Auschwitz. ".…

The book and jacket show slight bumping to the spine tips. 1st printing, no others noted. Clean and unmarked. Claude Lanzmann 1925 - 2018) was a French filmmaker, best known for the Holocaust documentary film Shoah (1985), which consists of nine and a half hours of oral testimony from Holocaust survivors, witnesses, and perpetrators presented using contemporary, non-historical footage. "The complete text of spoken words and subtitles of a recent documentary film on the Holocaust by French journalist and director Lanzmann is presented here in an unusual but grimly effective format. Doubtless seeing the film would be a vastly different experience, but the text carries a relentless strength and coherence of its own. Excerpts from interviews with a couple of dozen Jewish survivors, German officials and guards, Polish villagers and railway men, and contemporary historians in the United States, Israel, Germany, and Poland are juxtaposed, following the pattern of the film's scenes. The result is a powerful and unique impres sion of the Jewish tragedy drawn from the composite viewpoints of these radi cally different participants and observers. Highly recommended." James B.

Paris: Gallimard. 1964. 8vo. Publisher's wrappers printed in red and black; pp. 462, [2], first leaf blank; very minimal toning to spine and a few marks to upper wrapper; otherwise near-fine; authorial inscription to half-title 'a Anne Germain, avec ma sympa tres attentive apres un bon apres-midi . Violette Leduc' (see below).First edition of Leduc's (1907-1972) memoir, one of the boldest explorations of sex, queer desire, and the female experience in twentieth-century French literature, this copy intimately inscribed to the singer Anne Germain, affectionately thanking her for a pleasant afternoon.'A woman is descending into the most secret part of herself', writes Simone de Beauvoir in her illuminating preface, 'and telling us about all she finds there with an unflinching sincerity, as though there were no one listening' (trans.). Leduc was de Beauvoir's protegee, and they had met in 1945; through De Beauvoir's efforts, Gallimard published Leduc's first novel, L'Asphyxie. In the same year, De Beauvoir sent a letter to Leduc rejecting her sexual advances, describing it as 'strange to find out that you are so precious to someone [.] there is a mirage effect there which will certainly dissipate quickly' (trans.). De Beauvoir frequently cited Leduc in her analysis of lesbianism contained within The Second Sex.Leduc sought not provocation but precision: of the lesbian passages suppressed from her earlier novel Ravages, she explained that she was 'trying to render as accurately as possible, as minutely as possible, the sensations felt in physical love [.] not aiming for scandal but only to describe the woman's experience with precision' (trans.). After the success of La Batarde, Leduc planned to have a rival edition of the suppressed passages of Ravages published, at Genet's suggestion, by Jean-Jacques Pauvert, publisher of the Story of O; Gaston Gallimard forced Leduc to cancel her contract with Pauvert and hastily brought out the work as Therese and Isabelle, albeit in a censored edition.An immediate bestseller, La Batarde sold 170,000 copies within only a few months of publication and narrowly missed the Prix Goncourt.Provenance: the Anne Germain to whom this copy was presented 'apres un bon apres-midi' is likely the French singer (1935-2016) of the same name, known for dubbing the singing voice of Catherine Deneuve in Les Demoiselles de Rochefort and Peau d'Ane. After studying under soprano Ninon Vallin, she became a member of the original lineup of the vocal jazz group The Swingle Singers in the early 1960s, and later worked as a backing vocalist for the likes of Charles Aznavour, Francoise Hardy, and Sylvie Vartan. …
