"Seven days of mourning for Olim from Romania" (Hebrew), broadside issued by the Association of Romanian Olim in Eretz Israel. Yitzchak Brocker printing press, Tel-Aviv, [January 1942].
"Seven days of mourning for Romanian Olim who cry for their sons, parents, brothers and sisters, 765 souls, among them more than 100 babies…who survived the horrors of the beast…and did not imagine that they might be sentenced to death again…"
The text refers to the sinking of the illegal immigration ship "Struma".
In December 1941, the ship "Struma" sailed from Romania to Istanbul as part of the "Etzel" operation "Af Al Pi", with about 760 immigrants (Ma'apilim) on board, refugees from Romania. The plan was to arrive in Istanbul and from there to await the promised certificates for Eretz Israel; but upon arrival it turned out that the certificates were not available and despite endless efforts their entry was denied. In February 1942 the Turkish Coastal Guard towed the ship to open sea, with no water, food or fuel. Shortly afterwards the ship was drowned by a Soviet submarine. Only one passenger survived. Ca. 30.5X46.5 cm. Good condition. Minor stains, creases and folding marks.

Finally the writer describes the despair and disappointment of Jews with the decision to annex the Sudetenland to Germany. [3] leaves (three written pages), 23.5 cm. Good condition.

Majdanek [Maydanek - A Destruction Camp], by Zinowij Tolkaczew [Zinowii Tolkatchev]. Warsaw: Czytelnik, 1945. Polish, Russian, English and French.
Limited edition, numbered portfolio (600 copies) containing 28 plates after paintings by Tolkatchev. The paintings were created after Tolkatchev participated in July 1944 in the liberation of the Maydanek extermination camp as a Red Army soldier.
Tolkatchev was a Russian artist who enlisted in the Red Army in 1941. In 1944, he was stationed on the Ukrainian front, near Majdanek. Horrified by what he witnessed, Tolkatchev spent a month painting scenes from within the newly liberated death camp. A member of the Polish-Soviet Nazi Crimes Investigation Commission supported Tolkatchev’s work and in November 1944, his exhibition of Majdanek paintings became one of the earliest artistic depictions to document publicly the Nazi death camps. When this portfolio was published soon after, in February 1945, the Polish Government sent copies to Allied Forces heads of states and government and military officers. Looking back on his work, Tolkatchev wrote, “I did what I had to do; I couldn’t refrain from doing it. My heart commanded, my conscience demanded.” Today these paintings are in the collection of the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem. [4], [8], [1] pp + 28 plates, 36X26cm. Good condition. Minor wear to the edges of some leaves. Stains and tears at margins of first few leaves (title pages and introductions). Professionally restored tears to first two leaves. Lacking the portfolio cover. Enclosed in a custom cloth-covered clamshell case.
