L'examen de la vie des Iuifs, de leur religion, commerce et trafic dans leur Synagogue [Examination of Jewish life, their religion, commerce... in their synagogues]. Paris: François Prevveray, 1652. French.
"Examination of Jewish life", a booklet published in France in 1652 following the murder of Jean Bourgeois by members of the guild of secondhand clothes dealers (fripiers). At the time, selling secondhand clothes was considered by the French to be a Jewish occupation. The clothes dealers, even though most of them were Catholic, were named "Jews", and the guild which they founded was named "Synagogue". The murder of Jean Bourgeois led to anti-Semitic claims and publications in which the clothes dealers were presented as Jews, moneylenders, and descendants of the murderers of Jesus.
8 pp, 22 cm. No cover. Strip of paper on spine. Good condition. Stains.

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.

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.

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.

Black and white photograph of Jewish refugees on the deck of MS St. Louis, looking at the Havana port, Cuba. June 1939.
Press photograph of the "Acme" news agency, ink-stamped "Acme Newspictures, Chicago Bureau". An information note for the press (English) is pasted on the back.
In May 1939 the MS St. Louis departed from Germany to Cuba with more than 900 Jewish refugees on board. Even though most of the refugees acquired entry visas to Cuba, when they arrived in Havana port on May 27, they were not allowed to enter Cuba. When negotiations with Cuban authorities failed, and when the United States president refused to let refugees enter, MS St. Louis sailed to Europe. Finally the refugees were accepted by Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
15X22.5 cm. Good condition. Minor stains and creases.
Provenance: Rimon Family Collection.
