1-5. Five photographs of Avshalom Gissin (1896-1921), an officer in the Turkish Army who fell while defending Petach Tikva during the 1921 riots.

All the photographs are dedicated by Gissin, in his handwriting (in one of them appears a signature by another person).
6. Portrait photograph, dedicated on verso in handwriting to Avshalom Gissin, probably by a soldier who served with him in the Turkish army.
7. Photograph of Nachman Karniel, officer in the Turkish army who fought in the 1921 riots, in Kfar Tabor. Dedicated on verso to "Mr. Cherginsky" and signed "… Nachman Karniel", dated 1911, Jerusalem. Stamped on the margins with the ink-stamp of photographer Khalil Raad.
8. Photograph of Carmi Eisenberg, colonel in the Turkish Army and fighter in World War I, dedicated and signed on verso. Dated 1912, Istanbul.
9. Photograph of another Jewish soldier in Turkish Army uniform, dedicated and signed on verso. Dated 1919.
Eight of the photographs are divided on the back to be used as a postcard. One photograph is dedicated in handwriting, in French.
Size and condition vary. Average size: approx. 13.5X8.5 cm. Good-fair overall condition. Stains and blemishes (mostly at margins). One photograph has pinholes at margins and one photograph has an open tear at one corner (small). Some dedications appear on the front of the photographs.

Two photographs of NILI group members Avshalom Feinberg and Naaman Belkind. Taken by Avraham Soskin. Tel Aviv-Jaffa, [1910s].
1. Portrait photograph of Avshalom Feinberg in his youth. Signed in lower left corner (embossed): "Photographer Avraham Soskin Tel Aviv Jaffa".
Feinberg (1889-1917) was the mastermind behind the NILI underground movement and its founder. He was killed while on a mission, attempting to cross the Ottoman-British front line in World War I and join the British forces in the Sinai Peninsula in order to renew intelligence contact between them and NILI.
16X11 cm. Good condition. Slight rubbing to verso.
2. Studio photograph of Naaman Belkind in a military uniform and a turban. The photograph is mounted on an original cardboard card of the photo studio – "A. Sosking & G. Bruck" (Avraham Soskin's and G. Bruck's studio in Jaffa), and dated on verso in handwriting – "Jaffa, 1911".
Naaman Belkind (1888-1917) was one of the first members to join NILI, coordinating the group's activities in the southern area. His capture by Ottoman forces in September 1917 marked NILI's end. Belkind himself was hanged in Damascus in December of that year, together with Yosef Lishansky.
16.5X10.5 cm (including cardboard card). Good condition. A few stains and minor blemishes.

J'Accuse ...! Lettre au Président de la République [I Accuse…! Letter to the President of the Republic], by Émile Zola. In: Issue 87 of the newspaper L'Aurore. Paris, January 13, 1898. French.
Émile Zola's famous essay in defense of Alfred Dreyfus – an open letter to the President of France, in which Zola accuses the leaders of the army, the Ministry of War and the Martial Court of travesty of justice. The letter's publication caused an uproar in France. Zola was sued for libel, sentenced to a year in prison and was forced to flee to England.
Alfred Dreyfus (1859-1935), a Jewish officer in the French army, was convicted of treason, though entirely innocent. The suspicion of falsified evidence, false witness statements and a wrongful conviction ignited an unprecedented public debate in France, later called the "Dreyfus Affair". Émile Zola's open letter, "J'Accuse", is considered the most famous text written in the course of the affair. Its title became synonymous with protest against injustice and governmental corruption.
4 pp, 62.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Folding marks and stains. Light creases. Tears and open tears to margins and along folding marks, affecting text, some reinforced with adhesive tape.

An illustrated anti-Semitic poster. No printer, location, or year indicated. Signed in the plate: M. M. [The Netherlands, ca. 1940].
A large poster, printed in grey and orange, depicting the letter V, symbolizing the word Victory, with the point of the V stabbing the chest of a Jew dressed as a Roman soldier with a Star of David on his shirt and holding the hilt of a broken sword, the rest of the sword lying beside him.
The slogan "Deutschland Siegt an Allen Fronten" [Germany Wins at all Fronts], with the letter V [for Victory] was used by the Nazis for propaganda purposes in the early 1940s, and appeared also on propaganda leaflets distributed in The Netherlands after its occupation in 1940. This poster was also printed in a small format, and was used by the Dutch resistance movement in ca. 1941 (the Dutch drew Hitler’s face on top of the Jew’s face and wrote the words "Deutsche Wehrmacht" on his broken sword).
