"The Black Album". Published by the Anti-Nazi League, Tel-Aviv, April 1940. Hebrew, English and French.
Complete postcard binder composed of ten postcards. The presented postcard binder is a very early public visual documentation - maybe the first of its kind - of Nazi crimes in Europe, especially in occupied Poland.
The anti-Nazi league, which published the binder in April 1940, aimed to set up "propaganda and publicity in Israel and abroad against the Nazi regime, the Nazi spirit and racial hate". These ideas were realized in the binder not only in the photographs printed on the postcards, but also and especially in the words of introduction added by the anti-Nazi league members. Printed on the inner side of the cover: "Hitlerism means return to the savagery of the dark Middle Ages. In Poland, the miserable Jews are compelled to wear on their backs the yellow badge as reproduced on the envelope of the Black Album. The Black Album contains the first series of pictures disclosing Nazi atrocities and murders in Poland and offers a vivid description of the Nazi regime and its cruel systems. Everybody is hereby enabled to unmask Hitlerism by sending the postcards of the Album to his friends and acquaintances all over the world”.
Each postcard is titled – “Death in Hitler’s steps”, “Nazi hangmen at work”, “One of the hundreds of victims in Poland”, “Nazi slave traders”, “Kidnapping”, “A horrible race”, “Migration of nations into misery”, “Nazi victims converted into ashes”. The postcards are accompanied by captions, specifying some of the methods of Nazi brutality and destruction which were publicly verified and published only years later: death of thousands from disease, cold and hunger; daily execution and hanging of bodies on gallows in central streets of Polish cities; backbreaking labor; cleaning streets with mouths and hands; cremating bodies to ash, etc. The titles are in English. The introduction is in Hebrew and English. The captions are in Hebrew and French. [8] pp, 10 postcards, [8] pp. Postcards: 10X14 cm. Binder: 10.5X16.5 cm. Good condition. Slightly stained. Stains, scribbles in pen and an ink-stamp on the cover

18 photographs depicting the life of the Jewish congregation in the town of Rychbah (Reichenbach / Dzierżoniów), Lower Silesia (present day Poland), ca.1946.
14 photographs taken during a gathering in memory of the Jews of Biala murdered by the Nazis. An additional photograph is a New Year Greeting from the committee of Biala survivors in Rychbach, and three other photographs are of a family, one dated 1946. Four of the gathering photographs are ink stamped on the reverse: "Foto Muza" (located in the town).
In the town of Rychbach Jews tried, in 1945, to found an autonomous communal settlement of holocaust survivors. After the war, survivors of extermination camps in the vicinity (Gross-Rosen and others) congregated in Rychbach and through the leadership of Jakub Egit, a Jewish soldier in the Red Army, tried to found an autonomous Jewish communal settlement. At first the Soviet authorities assisted them and the settlement grew fast and included a school, hospitals, agricultural farms, orphanage, a theater, newspapers and even a publishing house. At its peak 50,000 Jews lived in the settlement and the spoken language was Yiddish. When the Soviet authorities realized what the nature of the settlement was they stopped supporting the project, Egit was sent to jail, and the survivors immigrated to Israel, the USA and South Africa. 8X11 cm – 10X13 cm.
