Babylonian Talmud - complete set. Munich-Heidelberg, [1948]. "Published by Union of Rabbis in the American region of Ashkenaz".
After WWII, the demand for Gemarot and holy books by surviving Jews congregated in the DP camps exceeded the few copies that were available for the refugees. From 1946, the "Union of Rabbis" in Germany, with the assistance of the American army and the JDC began to print the Talmud for survivors. At first, only a few tractates were printed in various formats. In 1948, the presented edition - a complete edition of the Talmud - was printed for the first time. Each volume contains two title pages. The first title page was especially designed to commemorate the printing of the Talmud on the scorched soil of Germany; on the upper part is an illustration of a Jewish town with the caption "From slavery to redemption and from darkness to great light"; on the lower part of the title page is an illustration of barbed wire fences and a labor camp, with the caption: "Labor camp in Ashkenaz during Nazi era". "They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts".
19 volumes. 39 cm. Very good condition. Original complete bindings. Several ownership inscriptions. Slight tears to a few leaves. Minor damages to some of the bindings.
