Leidimas / Sauf-Conduit, Laissez-passer issued in Lithuania for a Jewish Polish refugee. Kovno, 1940.
When World War II broke out, thousands of Polish Jews fled to East European countries, among them Lithuania. Those Jews were considered by the authorities as "Stateless" and therefore Laissez-passer documents were issued for them, instead of passports. In Lithuania, annexed to the Soviet Union in 1940, the Soviet authorities continued to use the Lithuanian forms, with ink-stamped authorizations by N.K.V.D.
This certificate (four printed pages, filled-in by hand and ink-stamped, was issued on 3.9.1940 for a Jew named Mošek-Šmul Cygler-Borenštein (Moshe-Shmuel Cygler-Borenstein). On the first page appear his personal details and his photograph, and in the following pages appear some 15 ink-stamps documenting his voyage to Palestine: Exit Visa from Lithuania through Odessa to Palestine, 3.9.1940, with an authorization ink-stamp by N.K.V.D; entrance ink-stamp to Istanbul dated 27.2.1941; exit ink-stamp from Lebanon in Rosh HaNikra border control, dated 2.3.1941; entry inkstamp to Mandatory Palestine, dated 2.3.1941; and other ink stamps.
Sheet: 40.5X31 cm (spread). Good condition. Stains, creases and folding marks. Small tears at margins and along folding marks, some restored with adhesive tape. The sheet is attached to the original booklet cover with adhesive tape; cover is scratched and slightly damaged, with restored damages at corners.

The Black Album. Published by the Anti-Nazi League, Tel-Aviv, April 1940. Hebrew, English and French. Complete postcard booklet composed of 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 vanquished 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 inner side of the 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".
Each postcard is titled – "Death in Hitler's step", "Nazi hangmen at work", "Migration of nations to the gates of death", "German production of 'ashes industry'" and more. The postcards are accompanied by captions, specifying some of the methods of Nazi brutality and extermination which were publicly verified and published only years later: death of thousands from disease, cold and starvation; execution on a daily basis and hanging bodies on gallows in central streets in Polish towns; forced labor; cleaning streets with mouth and hands; cremating bodies to ashes and more. The postcards are titled in English. Introduction in Hebrew and English. Captions of postcards are in Hebrew and French.
[8] pp, 10 postcards, [8] pp. Postcards 10x14 cm. Book 10.5X16.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Dampstains, foxing and slight defects. Tenth postcard is detached.
