Relazione di Quel grandissimo contrasto e terribile rovina occorso nuovamente in Ghetto tra Mardacai, Aron, e so ardel Giacobbe e Samuel per l'aquisto di due ocche […]. Venice, [ca. mid-18th century]. Italian.
An antisemitic poem by an anonymous writer, describing a quarrel between Jews in the ghetto, using derogatory, mocking language and Hebrew words and terms.
During the 1740s, a new genre of "folk" antisemitic works, including poems, tales and plays, flourished in Italy. Many of these works were performed in street theaters, gained popularity among the crowds and eventually precipitated pogroms and riots. In Venice, where several riots took place, the authorities ordered the confiscation and burning of most booklets (see: Shlomo Simonsohn, History of the Jews in the Duchy of Mantua, Hebrew edition, Vol. I, Jerusalem, 1962. pp. 63-68).
[8] pp. (unopened quarto; 33X22 cm sheet). Good condition. Fold lines. Many stains. Creases and minor blemishes. Deckled edges. Tear to vertical fold line, reaching halfway through sheet.
Not recorded in OCLC.
From the estate of Prof. Shlomo Simonsohn.

Jüdische Augen-Gläser [Jewish Eyeglasses], by Elias Liborius Roblik. Brünn / Znojmo / König-Gratz: Wenzl Johann Tibelli / Anton Johann Preyß / Maria Barabra Swobodin, 1741-1743. German. Two parts in one volume.
Elias Liborius Roblik (1689-1765) was a German priest, theologian and Hebraist who forsook the priesthood to conduct a door-to-door conversion of Jews, believing that exposing them to Christian truth and grace will lead to their change of heart. His book has two parts: the first introduces Christian commentary on the Bible and reasoning against the Talmud; the second ("The other part of Jewish eyeglasses") contains sections from Johann Andreas Eisenmenger's book "Judaism Unveiled" (this book was published for the first time in 1700 and its printing was banned).
Illustrated with five engravings. The engraved title page depicts a Jew looking at a pair of scales on which two books are being weighed – the Talmud and the Bible. Although the scales are tipped towards the Bible, the Jew's eyeglasses distort his vision and he is pointing at the Talmud. At the end of the introduction is an engraving with a large illustration of eyeglasses ("Jewish Eyeglasses"), serving as an invitation to look through them and read the book.
Integrated into some of the engravings are German biblical verses, and in one of them – the Tetragrammaton in Hebrew characters. All the engravings are signed in the margin: A.G. Mansfelt Callco-graphus Sculpsit-Pragae (or an abbreviation of this name).
Part I: [6] leaves, 513 [i.e. 517] pp. + [4] plates; Part II: [3] leaves, 307 pp, [1] leaf, 427, [1] pp. + [1] plate. 32 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor wormholes to gutters of some leaves (not affecting text). A partly restored tear to one of the leaves at the beginning of the volume. Elegant leather binding with gilt impressions on the spine, worn and slightly scuffed, with tears and missing pieces to spine.

Fahrplan zwischen Borkum und Jerusalem […] Retourkarten werden nicht ausgegeben [Timetable between Borkum and Jerusalem […] Return tickets are not issued"], antisemitic poster. [Printer not indicated, late 19th century or early 20th century]. German.
An antisemitic poster that was displayed in hotels and bath-houses in the island of Borkum (Germany), referring to a fictitious rail line from the island to Jerusalem: "The Borkum-Jerusalem line timetable […] it is hereby announced to the venerable Christian public that Jewish passengers will be inspected at the border and that the Jews who evaporate to Jerusalem will be allowed to carry with them six marks only. Return tickets are not issued".
As early as the late 19th century, the island of Borkum in the Northern Ocean gained a notorious reputation for its antisemitism. A travel guide from 1897 announced that the island is "free of Jews" (Judenrein) and a travel guide from 1910 warned the Jews of "cruel harassments". Many hotels and public bath-houses in Burkum displayed signs reading "Jews and dogs may not enter" and the island's orchestra performed daily an antisemitic song titled "Borkum Song" (Borkum-Lied), with a finale calling the "flat-footed, with hooked nose and curly hair" to get out.
The text of this poster was published in issue no. 44 (ninth year) of the Association for Defense against Antisemitism (Mitteilungen aus dem Verein zur Abwehr des Antisemitismus) periodical (Berlin, November 1899).
63X47 cm. Thin paper. Good condition. Fold lines. Creases. Tears to edges and fold lines. Minute holes and small open tears.

Trau keinem Fuchs auf grüner Heid und keinem Jud bei seinem Eid! [Trust No Fox in the Green Meadow and No Jew on His Oath!], by Elvira Bauer. Nuremberg: Stürmer, 1936. German.
This book is the first of three antisemitic children's book published by the Nazi weekly Der Stürmer – a newspaper published by senior member of the Nazi party Julius Streicher. The book was written by Elvira Bauer, an 18-year-old art student, and contains ten rhymed poems, accompanied by colorful illustrations by the "house illustrator" of Der Stürmer – Philipp Rupprecht, who published his works under the pseudonym "Fips".
The poems in this book were printed in the warning colors of red and black and presented young children with a variety of antisemitic messages about the attributes of Jews, their origin and ways to easily Identify them. The poems include: "The Jews' Father is the Devil", "The Eternal Jew", "Jewish Names", "The Jewish Lawyer", "The Jewish Physician" and more. The last poem in the book, "The Führer's Boys", depicts the Aryan children of Nazi Germany watching as the last of the Jews leave Germany. The book ends with Der Stürmer's motto, coined by Heinrich Gotthard Freiherr von Treitschke: "The Jews are our misfortune!"
Upon its publication, the book achieved tremendous success in Nazi Germany, went through seven editions, with a hundred thousand of its copies being in circulation, and was used as a textbook by many schools. Two of its creators – the publisher Julius Streicher and the illustrator Philipp Rupprecht – were tried at the Nuremberg Trials for their role in disseminating antisemitic propaganda. Streicher was sentenced to death and Rupprecht to a long jail term. This book was presented as evidence to the court. The author, Elvira Bauer, disappeared after the war, never to be found.
[22] leaves, approx. 24.5X19.5 cm. Good condition. Several stains. Original boards (pictorial paper cover, with canvas spine and edges), with scuffs and minor blemishes. Inked stamps to inside front board and to two pages (on the margins. Not affecting text or illustrations). Handwritten signature to corner of title page.

Champignons veneneux, danger de mort!! [Poisonous mushrooms, danger of death!!], illustrated antisemitic children's booklet. [Paris]: N.E.F (Nouvelles Éditions Françaises), [early 1940s]. French.
The booklet is designed as a plant guide of sorts – each page displays a different "poisonous mushroom" (caricature of a famous Jewish man in the form of a mushroom), its scientific name (a distortion of the man's name) and explanations about its detrimental effect. The illustrations depict Alfred Dreyfus, French Prime Minister Leon Blum, French politician Moïse Lévy and others. The last caricature in the booklet depicts Joseph Stalin; the text on the facing page reads: "In conclusion: 14 Jews or friends of Jews = 14 poisons".
The booklet was printed as part of the antisemitic campaign of the Vichy regime, parallel to the opening of the exhibition "The Jew and France" in Paris. The exhibition, organized by the Institute for the Study of Jewish Questions (IEQJ) with support of the German Propaganda Office (Propagandastaffel), took place from September 1941 to January 1942.
This booklet is largely similar in theme to the antisemitic children's book "The Poisonous Mushroom", published by the Nazi weekly Der Stürmer (Nuremberg, 1938), portraying Jews as poisonous mushrooms (see previous item).
[16] pp (not including cover), 21X13.5 cm. Good condition. Creases and minor stains.
Not in NLI.

Erblehre, Abstammungs- und Rassenkunde in Bildlicher Darstellung [Study of Heredity, Genealogy and Racial Science, in Pictorial Representation], portfolio with plates of text, illustrations and sketches for teaching heredity and race theory. Text by Alfred Vogel; illustrations by Eberhard Brauchle. Stuttgart: Verlag für National Literatur Gebr. Rath, [second edition from 1939]. German.
Portfolio with 69 (out of 80) plates combining text, illustrations and diagrams (many of them in color) intended for the instruction of heredity and scientific racism in schools in Nazi Germany. The portfolio was created by Alfred Vogel, an elementary school principal in Baden, to accompany a textbook he had written on the subject (Erblehre und Rassenkunde für die Grund- und Hauptschule, 1937). The plates were illustrated by Eberhard Brauchle.
The plates form two groups, the first of which deals with the laws of Mendelian Inheritance using illustrations and diagrams to present various experiments and studies in plants. The second group of plates deals with heredity and racial science. By means of illustrations, diagrams, photographs and more, the plates present the antisemitic racial theory about the superiority of the Aryan race and the inferiority of other races.
The portfolio, which reflects the doctrine of the Nazi party and the Nuremberg race laws, puts a special emphasis on the nature and character of the Jews: their inferior genetics, their defilement of the Aryan race, their degenerate culture, their corrupted morality, their love of money, their plot to take over the world, etc. On the bottom of some of the plates appear quotations and sentences reflecting the racial and antisemitic principles of the Nazi party.
Incomplete copy with 69 (out of 80) plates: plates no. 10-15, 17-48, 48a, 49-78. Missing eleven plates (including title page). Portfolio: 40 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor blemishes to margins of plates. The portfolio is somewhat worn, with tears and blemishes to edges and spine. Inked stamp to portfolio's front board and to inside front board.

Propaganda et Realite [Propaganda and Reality], an anti-Nazi brochure campaigning to boycott the fourth Winter Olympics held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Brussels: Comité International de Défense de l'Idée Olympique ("The International Committee for Defending the Olympic Idea"), 1936. French.
A brochure printed as part of the campaign to boycott the Olympic Games in Nazi Germany. The title page is divided in half, depicting "Propaganda" – an athlete with the Olympic flag on his chest and a vaulting pole in his hand, and "Reality" – an identical illustration, in which the Olympic flag is replaced by a swastika, the pole by a bloody sword and the belt by a gun holster. The brochure features articles and reviews, accompanied by pictures and illustrations, denouncing the racism, discrimination and oppression prevalent in German sports, and the crimes of the Nazi regime against the Jews of Germany and Jewish athletes. The brochure also includes quotes from German sources revealing the policy of discrimination, and quotes by leading intellectuals, journalists, politicians and athletes who object to participation in sport competitions in Nazi Germany. The brochure stresses the Nazis' manipulative use of the Olympic Games to mislead the world and hide the regime's crimes.
The brochure was issued by the Comité International de Défense de l'Idée Olympique ("The International Committee for Defending the Olympic Idea"), founded during the anti-fascist congress in Paris in 1935. Several sports organizations took part in the congress; the most prominent of which, the Red Sport International, was sponsored by Communist Russia.
[8] pp. (all but one with two columns), approx. 25 cm. Good condition. Creases and minor blemishes. Small tears to edges.
