Annotated. Text on title page: "Preached in Montreal on Sabbath, Noah, 5625, by
the Rev. Professor De Sola. " Sir Moses Montefiore was the "most famous
Anglo-Jew of the 19th century... First apprenticed to a firm of wholesale grocers
and tea merchants, he left to become one of the 12 "Jew brokers" in the City of
London. After initial setbacks, he went into partnership with his brother Abraham
and the firm acquired a high reputation. His marriage in 1812 to Judith Cohen
made him brother-in-law of Nathan Mayer Rothschild, for whom his firm acted as
stockbrokers. After his retirement from regular business in 1824, though he
retained various commercial directorships, he had the time and the fortune to
undertake communal and civic responsibilities... Montefiore was sheriff of London
in 1837-38 and was knighted by Queen Victoria on her first visit to the City. He
received a baronetcy in 1846 in recognition of his humanitarian efforts on behalf
of his fellow Jews...Montefiore's physical presence (he was 6 ft. 3 in. Tall) , his
commanding personality, his philanthropy, and his complete disinterestedness,
made him highly respected and admired both in England and abroad. The
support of the British government for his activities-consonant with British policies
overseas-and the personal regard shown him by Queen Victoria added to his
reputation. His 100th birthday was celebrated as a public holiday by Jewish
communities the world over. " (Vivian David Lipman, EJ) SUBJECT(S): Sermons,

Bibliographic notes and index. If Israel was born through the blood and
determination of its pioneers and soldiers, its creation also marked the
triumphant achievement of decades of American Zionist persistence. The
creation of the Jewish State did not mark the end of American Jewish
involvement; rather it was the beginning of new and unique bond between Israel
and American Jews. With the decimation of European Jewry in the Holocaust,
the American Jewish community, led by the Zionists, mobilized to bring an
independent Jewish homeland into existence. Zionist perserverance was such
that minutes after Israel declared its statehood, President Truman extended
American recognition to the world's newest democracy. This study has a definite
orientation: It is written from the vantage point of American Jewry - its attitudes,
its achievements, its problems, and its changing condition. The main proposal is
that relations between American Jewry and Israel are composed not only of ties
that bind, but of differences that sunder as well. SUBJECT (S) Zionism -- United

Cloth, 8vo, 95 pages. Includes line drawings by Willi Hofmann. 22 cm. In
German. / In the introduction to Die Judenfrage im Unterricht , which was
published in 1937 by Der Stürmer, Julius Streicher made the following statement:
"The National Socialist state requires its teachers to teach German children racial
theory. For the German people, racial theory means the Jewish problem." Der
Pudelmopsdachelpinscher (The Poodle-Pug-Dachshund-Pincher), one of three
Antisemitic picture storybooks published by Der Stürmer, was written by Ernst
Hiemer and published in 1940.
In the opinion of Prof. Mary Mills, it is even “more dangerous than either Don't
Trust a Fox in a Green Meadow or the Word of a Jew or The Poisonous
Mushroom,” these being the other two Antisemitic children's books published by
Stürmer. Realizing that children are basically very interested in the world of
nature that surrounds them, Hiemer constructs little stories centered upon what
are generally considered to be despicable traits in certain animals and insects
and concludes each story by transferring the undesirable characteristics to the
human world via the Jews. The Jews are the drones of society because do not
work but rather live from the labor of others.
Like the cuckoo, Jews are depicted as stealing other people's homes. They are
the foreigners who threaten to displace the Germans from Germany. As hyenas
strike disabled animals, Jews are portrayed as preying upon disadvantaged
Germans/Christians. Other animals included in these comparisons are the
chameleon (the great deceiver), the locust (the scourge of God), the bedbug (the
blood sucker), the sparrow (good-for-nothings), the poodle-mops-dachshundpincher (an inferior race created by cross-breeding various types of races), the
poisonous snake (the viper of humanity, and the tapeworm (the parasite of
humanity). Finally, Jews are compared to a deadly bacteria, which threatens the
existence of the human race. Just as deadly bacteria must be eliminated, so
must the Jews be exterminated. Hiemer concludes with an exhortation to the
youth of the world to become actively involved in the war against the Jews.
Young Germans are cast as the hope of Germany and the saviors of a world
under siege by a Jewish plague. The cumulative effect of so many comparisons
with the world of nature, one might think, would be to make the elimination of
Jews a natural and expected occurrence.
Their extermination is presented as being part of the natural order of things, and
the child is invited to rescue the desired natural order from the disaster planned
by the Jews. The opportunity is strongly presented for the child to go from being
a passive recipient of information on the destruction caused by the Jews to an
active participant in the war against the Jews.

Knopf, 1939. 1st American 1-volume Edition. Cloth, 8vo, 900 pages. One of the
most influential and celebrated German works of the 20th century. First published
in 1929, Mann's novel tells the story of Hans Castorp, a modern everyman who
spends seven years in an Alpine sanatorium for tuberculosis patients, finally
leaving to become a soldier in World War I. Isolated from the concerns of the
everyday world, he is exposed to the wide range of ideas that shaped a world on
the verge of explosion. Considering what was to follow, the most poignant
moment comes when Naphta, a Jewish-born Jesuit, defends the use of terror
and the taking of life for the sake of an all-encompassing idea. BOLDLY SIGNED
BY MANN ON FRONT ENDPAPER. Dampstain to gutter of front endpapers,
extending into the text (and just touching one end of the signature) and
