Large Collection of Books Printed during the Holocaust – Hungary and Transylvania

Collection of 26 books printed in Hungary and Transylvania, during the Holocaust. The collection includes: Chassidic and ethical books, books on the Torah, halachah, Talmudic novellae and more.
During World War II, all the Hebrew presses in eastern and western Europe were shut down except for those in Hungary and Romania, which also faced heavy pressure. Hungarian Jews continued their religious life, studying Torah (to the extent possible) and even printing books, until the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, murdering hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews. Some of the books in the present collection are particularly rare.
See Hebrew description for list of books.


26 books in 27 volumes. Varying size and condition. Signatures and stamps. New bindings (except for one volume). The books have not been thoroughly examined, and they are being sold as is.
