Printed on behalf of The European Anti-Fascist Committee, "Der Emes" Publishing, Moscow, 1946.
The authors, Ilya Ehrenburg and Vassily Grossman, served as Red Army reporters during World War II and were amongst the first to report about the extermination camps. Grossman was present at the opening of Treblinka and Majdanek camps and one of the first eyewitnesses to the horrors.
In 1944-45 Ehrenburg and Grossman edited the first edition of two volumes, based on their experiences and on documents which they collected about the Holocaust. This edition was published by "Der Emes" in Yiddish, in Moscow (1945). Copies of the manuscript were handed to the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, were sent to the USA and Romania and were published: in the USA under the name "The Black Book" in the same year, and in Romania excerpts of the book were published in 1946.
However, the publication of the book in the USSR encountered many difficulties: it was partially printed by "Der Emes" with many censorship alterations in order to conceal the anti-Semitic nature of the Holocaust atrocities and in order to belittle the role of Ukrainians who collaborated with the Nazis; this Russian edition was completely destroyed including the typefaces. Presented here is the only copy of the Russian edition which was printed in 1946 and destroyed. It is, most probably, a printing draft (several pages were not printed, by mistake, and are blank). A Russian translation of the "Black Book" was published in Jerusalem in 1980 (see attached copy, with many changes in content) and in Kiev in 1991.
Copy includes: title page / cover; pp 11-19, pp 23-395. 27 cm. Fair condition. Acid paper. Significant tears, some with text omission. Detached leaves.
