Protective letter [Schutzbrief] issued to a Jewish man, Ármin Grosz, by the Swiss Embassy in Budapest on 23.10.1944.
The letter is typewritten in German and Hungarian on the official stationery of the Department of Foreign Interests of the Swiss Embassy (Schweizerische Gesandtschaft, Abteilung für fremde Interessen), which was directed by the diplomat Carl Lutz, confirming that the name of its holder was included in a collective Swiss passport.
Swiss diplomat Carl Lutz (1895-1975) was appointed Swiss vice-consul in Budapest, in charge of foreign interests, in 1942. He worked to assist Jews in leaving Hungary, whose borders were still open; shortly before the occupation of Hungary by the Nazis he started issuing protective letters (Schutzpass) – an idea conceived by Miklos Moshe Krausz, director of the Palestine Office in Budapest – providing diplomatic protection to Jews who were candidates for immigration (the idea of protective letters was later adopted by other diplomats, saving tens of thousands of Jews). Lutz worked relentlessly to protect Hungarian Jews and remained in Budapest during the siege of the city. He returned to Switzerland only in 1945, after the occupation of Budapest by the Red Army. He was honored as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem in 1965.
[1] leaf, 29.5 cm. Good condition. Fold lines. Tears and minor creases.

The Black Album. Tel-Aviv: The Anti-Nazi League, Series A, April 1940. Hebrew, English and French.
A complete postcard booklet holding ten postcards.
This booklet is a very early public visual documentation, maybe the first of its kind, of Nazi crimes on European soil, especially in Poland.
The Anti-Nazi League, which published the booklet 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 have been realized in this booklet; not only in the photographs printed on the postcards, but also, and especially, in the introduction added by the anti-Nazi league members. Printed on the inside cover: "Hitlerism means return to the savagery of the dark Middle Ages. In Poland, the 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 in Poland. The Black Album gives a vivid description of the Nazi regime and its cruel systems. Everybody is hereby enabled to unmask Hitlerism by sending the post-cards of the Album to his friends and acquaintances all over the world". Similar words appear in the introduction: "… In Hitler's Germany, vast concentration camps have been established where Nazi sadists torture their unfortunate victims to an extent never before conceived by human imagination. In these camps of suffering and death, the prisoners, principally Jewish, are submitted to most cruel corporal and spiritual humiliation, to hard labor, starvation and severe molestation leading to aberration of the mind and death".
Each postcard is titled – "Death in Hitler's step", "Nazi hangmen at work", "One of the hundreds of victims in Poland", "Migration of nations into misery", "Nazi victims converted into ashes", and more – and is 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; slave 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.
Booklet: 16.5X10.5 cm. Postcards: 14X10 cm. Good condition. Minor damage to cover and edge of one postcard. Stains to cover. A few stains inside booklet.

A broadside issued by the "The Union of Rabbis in Austria A.Z. [American Zone], by the Central Jewish Committee". Salzburg, the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan – May 1947. Mimeographed manuscript, stamped with the official stamp of the Union. Printed on verso of an Austrian military form.
A call by the Union of Rabbis in Austria, announcing the 20th of Sivan as a "day of repentance, prayer and charity and a fast until 13:30" (Hebrew), following the request of Hungarian rabbis. The broadside announces the 20th of Sivan as the Yahrzeit for those of She'erit Hapletah whose relatives' death dates are unknown. It is stamped with the official stamp of the "Union of Rabbis in central Austria – in Salzburg".
At the end of World War II, there was a disagreement among European rabbis as to whether to announce a special day to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Among those objecting to the idea were the Rebbes of Gur and Belz, Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Halevi Soloveitchik and the Chazon Ish, who claimed that in our generation it is not permitted to declare a new permanent fast. The rabbis of Hungary and Austria declared the 20th of Sivan as a day of fast, claiming that this day had traditionally been a day of fasting among the Jews of Poland, commemorating the riots of 1648.
