Neue Jüdische Rundschau [New Jüdische Rundschau], a typewritten booklet with hand-drawn caricatures. Alijah press, Werkdorp [Wieringermeer] training facility, September 12, 1938. German.
This booklet was presumably printed by trainees in the Werkdorp (Work Camp) training facility, as a kind of satire referring to the Zionist paper "Jüdische Rundschau". On the first page appears the title "New Jüdische Rundschau" and the motto: "'the company' aspires to establish a homeland as promised… already 'tomorrow' (Utrecht Plan)" [a satiric variation of a phrase from the "Basel Plan" printed on title pages of the "Jüdische Rundschau"].
Further on appears a humorous text about the way to reach Werkdorp, fake news items and various sections written with nonsense humor: "Jewish Economy", "From the Courts of Law", "Mailbox", "Song for the Housewife", and more. The booklet is accompanied by hand-drawn caricatures, within the text: a large illustration of a train leaving Werkdorp on the way to a desert in Palestine; illustration of the court; illustration of a Passover table; figures; animals; and other illustrations. The booklet is bound with a string in a thick paper cover, with a hand-drawn title page: a pencil drawing of the facility (signed: WR), and the title "Werkdorp, September 1938".
The Werkdorp (Work Camp) training facility was established in 1934 by Georg Flatow, George van den Bergh and the Committee for Jewish Refugees (Comite Voor Bijzondere Joodse Belangen), aiming at training young Jews from Germany toward their immigration to Palestine or to other countries. In 1941, about one year after the occupation of The Netherlands by the Germans, the facility was closed and the trainees were moved to Amsterdam, and from there to Mauthausen concentration camp.
Not in OCLC.
7 leaves, approx. 28.5 cm. Good condition. A small number of stains and minor blemishes. A few corrections by hand. Dark stains on cover.

Eight contribution cards (Beitragskarte), with stamps given for contributions to the "Central Welfare Agency for German Jews" (Zentralwohlfahrtsstelle der Deutschen Juden) – a welfare agency for German Jews under Nazi regime. Germany, ca. 1934-1939. German.
Eight blue paperboard cards, folded in half. On the outer side of the cards are an illustration of a Star of David, the title "Für Hilfe und Aufbau" [for aid and rehabilitation], and other details (the names of the receivers were added by hand). Printed on some of the cards is an inscription indicating that they were issued by the Berlin Jewish community, and on a number of cards appear ink-stamps of Jewish welfare agencies in Breslau (Jud. Wohlfahrtsamt Breslau) and in Munich (Wohlfahrtsant der Israelitischen kultusgemeinde Munchen).
Twelve stamps, in different values, are pasted on the inside of each card – for each month during which the contribution for the "Central Welfare Agency for German Jews" was received. Colorful illustrations are printed on the stamps, most of them depicting Jewish themes: Symbols of the Twelve Tribes; Jewish ceremonial objects; holidays, ceremonies and customs (a Jewish wedding, prayer at the Western Wall, lighting Shabbath candles and a Purim dinner); biblical figures and more.
Such cards were distributed by the "Central Welfare Agency for German Jews" as of 1934, for funds donated through the agency. The donations were used for assisting German Jews who lost their means to earn a living or were affected in a different manner by Nazi authorities.
Eight paperboard cards, 20X15 cm, folded in half. Good overall condition. Stains (including rust stains from paper clips) and minor blemishes. One filing hole to one card. An open tear and pasting traces to one card.

Krankenbehandler für jüdische Versicherte ["Medics" for insured Jewish patients], list of physicians authorized to treat Jews. Vienna, February 1, 1941. German.
In July 1938, Nazi Germany legislated a new regulation, forbidding Jews to practice medicine and depriving them of their licenses. A small number of ex-physicians, about 285 people, were allowed to treat Jews, and worked under limited conditions with a new license, as "medics" (Krankenbehandler).
This list, three typewritten and mimeographed pages, includes the names of less than one hundred "medics" who were allowed to treat Jews in Vienna – a community of more than one hundred thousand people. The middle name "Israel" was added to each of the names on this list (according to the Nazi law of changing names), and the names are divided according to the city's boroughs and different specializations.
The list illustrates the poor services offered to the community at the time: thirty seven general doctors, thirty two dentists, two ophthalmologists, two ear and throat specialists, two surgeons, one pediatrician, and just a small number of other specialists.
[2] leaves (three typed pages), 29.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Minor creases and stains. Tears to margins (mostly small). Pinholes to top corners.

A leaflet sent by the "Jewish Religious Association of Berlin" (Jüdische Kultusvereinigung zu Berlin e. V.) to Jews in the city, ordering them to submit a declaration concerning their property. Berlin, December 3, 1941. German.
On Yom Kippur 1941, Gestapo officials in Berlin informed the chairman of the Jewish community Moritz Henschel and his deputy Phillip Kozower about the plan to deport the Jews out of the city. This operation was executed under the cover of "evacuation of apartments" and the deportees were informed that their rent leases expired, that there is a plan to transfer them to a "new location" and that they must submit a property declaration.
This leaflet was sent through the "Jewish Religious Association of Berlin" and it instructs all the Jews who wear a yellow star to submit a detailed declaration concerning their property (probably by filling in a special form sent with the leaflet). The leaflet also gives information about places where the declarations have to be delivered, and other instructions. On the bottom of the leaflet appear names of the community heads, Moritz Henschel and Phillip Kozower, with the name "Israel" added as a middle name to their names (according to the Nazi law of changing names).
The leaflet was meant to be folded and sent by mail, and on its back appears the name of the society and its address, with the name of the addressee inscribed in pencil (partly deleted) and two ink-stamps.
[1] leaf, 21X29 cm. Fair-good condition. Folding marks. A small number of stains. Tears and open tears at margins of leaf and along the folding marks (mostly small, slightly affecting text).

At the outbreak of World War II, 75,000 German and Austrian citizens were living in Great Britain; most had arrived during the 1930s, fleeing Nazi persecution. The British government, fearing infiltration by Nazi spies and collaborators, resolved on a policy of arrest and detention. First, all the German and Austrian men aged 16 to 60 were arrested; later the women were arrested as well. In July 1940 the detainees were sent to the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea (a Crown Dependency), where a number of internment camps were built. Out of the thousands of detainees on the Isle of Man, the majority were Jews; many had been in open opposition to the Nazi regime.
Size and condition vary. Good-fair overall condition. Folding marks, stains, creases and blemishes. Dampstains to upper part of the letters from Mooragh camp (with damage to text). Tears reinforced with adhesive tape on the letter from the internment camp in Victoria. One letter has long tears and open tears to margins.

Camp-Flowers, booklet of sketches by Siegfried Alva – portraits of internees at the British internment camps on the Isle of Man. No publisher or year indicated, [Isle of Man, 1940?]. English.
A booklet with 13 sketches by Siegfried Alva, created in ca. 1940, while Alva was imprisoned at one of the British internment camps on the Isle of Man. Alva's sketches depict people he met during his period of internment, including Rabbi Josef Hirsch Dunner (1913-2007), who served as Rosh Beth Din of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations in London in the years 1960-2007. Printed at the beginning of the booklet is a passage from the book "A Descriptive and Historical Account of the Isle of Man" (Newscastle, 1809).

Out of the thousands of detainees on the Isle of Man, the majority were Jews; many had been in open opposition to the Nazi regime. A rich cultural scene developed in the camps (many of the detainees were professors, doctors, scientists and artists).
Sigfried Solomon Alweiss (1901-1973), born in Berlin, began his career as an artist in ca. mid-1920s, using the pseudonym "Alva". He studied art in Paris and settled in England in 1938. Alva often painted portraits, and many of his works portrayed Biblical themes and subjects related to Jewish life in Eastern Europe.
[8] leaves, 20 cm. Good condition. A small number of stains and minor tears.

Issue of the newspaper Guernsey Evening Press. Guernsey, one of the English Channel islands, July 19, 1941. English.
Guernsey Island, one of the English Channel islands and a British Crown dependency, was occupied by the Nazis in 1940 and was under Nazi regime until 1945. During these years the islands' newspapers were produced under Nazi control and published Nazi propaganda in English.
One of the main articles in this issue, written by Nazi journalist and propagandist Alfred Rapp, deals with the world Jewish communion through which, as he claimed, the American stock exchange financed the communist revolution. The other articles in this issue deal with Nazi occupations, Nazi bombardments in the Suez Canal area, the military state of the allied forces, various decrees issued by the military administration, distribution of chocolate to children and various internal matters – marriage announcements, illness cases, deceases, a native of the island who was taken prisoner in Greece and more. On the last page appears a notice about screening the film "Die Rothschilds", a 1940 Nazi propaganda film about the role of the Rothschild family in the Napoleonic Wars.
[4] pp (one sheet folded in half), 50 cm, good-fair condition. Stains. Folding marks and creases. Tears at margins and at folding marks.
