"In memory of the people who were murdered on (June 1941)ג€¦". A yarzheit leaf, handwritten and hand painted. [Iasi, Romania], 1942.
Decorated frame; on the upper part of the leaf a colorful illustration of Rachel's Tomb. The names of 58 of the Iasi pogrom victims and 4 names of people killed in World War I, 1916-1918. "El Maleh Rahamim" prayer appears on the lower part of the leaf. Next to the lower margins are the names of the initiators of this leaf: Iancu Barasch, E. Nagler, B. Bercovici and N. Suchar. The writer: Itzchak ben Efraim Benditer, son of Efraim Benditer and Chaja-Perl nֳ©e Schwemer, born in Iasi in 1927, made Aliya in 1947.
Thousands of Jews were murdered by the Romanians in Iasi in June 1941. This was one of the cruelest pogroms in the history of Eastern European Jews and is called "The Iasi Pogrom". When the Jews resumed their visits to synagogues, Efraim Benditer asked his young son Yitzchak to draw a memorial plaque for the great synagogue in Iasi, with names of the Jews who used to pray there. This plaque was mounted in a prominent place. Later, Yitzchak was asked to prepare more plaques for other synagogues in Iasi. He drew a total of twelve plaques during the early 1940s. Presented here is one of those plaques. An additional one, similar in style, is found in the Lochamei HaGeta'ot archives. 69x50 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains, pin-holes and tears, mainly at borders.

Salamandra, K. Tzet(nik) 135633. [1946]. Yiddish.
Original copy of Part I of the book ג€Salamandraג€, typewritten on thin paper, with many corrections in authorג€™s handwriting.
Yehiel Di-nur (1917-2001), born in Poland, was among the survivors of the Auschwitz extermination camp, where he lost his entire family. He immigrated to Israel via Italy with the ג€Breichaג€ and devoted his life to writing about his experiences in the camp. In the process of writing his books, Di-nur returned to the "planet of Auschwitz", totally withdrawn in his room, dressed in his prisoner's shirt, not taking a shower, not sleeping or eating for days. The scenes described in the books are extremely disturbing. Di-nur remained completely anonymous and used the pseudonym K. Tzetnik. His identity was revealed at the Eichmann trial, as he was summoned to the witness stand.
Right after his release from the camp, Di-nur wrote "Salamandra" in only three weeks, probably when he was in a Displaced Persons camp in Italy. The manuscript was translated into Hebrew and was first published in 1946, shortly after Di-nur's arrival in Israel. The book in Yiddish has never been published, and it contains passages which have been omitted from the Hebrew version. Moreover, the unique language that developed during the war - the language of the ghettos and camps, lost its essence when translated into Hebrew [see attached material, Yehiel Sheintuch's book: Salamandra, Myth and History in K. Tzetnik's Writings, Carmel Publishing, 2009, and other photocopied articles. Sheintuch is working on composing a critical version in Yiddish].
Presented here is the first part of the manuscript, which was translated into Hebrew and published as the first edition. A similar 349 leaves manuscript was sold by "Kedem" (Auction no. 11 - Item 220). 175 pp, 33 cm. Typewritten on one side of the leaf. Good condition, stains and creases, several tears. Cardboard binding damaged.
