Majdanek, by Zinowij Tolkaczew. Warsaw: Czytelnik, 1945.
Portfolio in a limited and numbered edition (600 copies) containing 28 paintings by Tolkaczew, created following his service as a Red Army soldier and participating in the liberation of Majdanek. Tolkaczew was a Russian artist who was drafted to the Red Army in 1941. In 1944 he was sent to the Ukrainian front, next to Majdanek. He was absolutely shocked by the sights that he saw and for one month he painted the horrors which he viewed in the liberated death camp. A member in the Soviet-Polish committee which investigated Nazi crimes supported his work and in November 1944 an exhibition of Tolkaczew paintings of Majdanek was held - a first exposure to the public from an artistic point of view of the atrocious scenes of the death camps. When the portfolio was published shortly afterwards, in February 1945, the Polish government sent copies to leaders of the Allies and to senior government and military figures. Retrospectively Tolkaczew said about this period of creation: " I did what I was obliged to do, I could not abstain from doing so. The heart commanded, the conscious demanded". The works are in the collections of Yad VaShem Museum in Jerusalem. [4], [8], [1] pp + 28 plates, 36X28 cm. Text in Polish, Russian, English and French. Good condition, except for some wear to edges of several leaves. Portfolio binding is falling apart.

Dr. Rezsö (Rudolph) KASTNER, being duly sworn deposes and says. Printed protocol with Israel Kastner's testimony in front of the American Investigation Committee for War Crimes. Testimony was recorded in London on September 13, 1945. English
The testimony presented here, is one of the first ones by Kastner (later on Kastner was summoned several times to Nuremberg by the American prosecution, which also financed some of his trips, in order to take part in investigations of senior Nazi officers taking advantage of his acquaintance with the SS system and with senior officers), he describes the Nazi officers Kurt Becher, Dieter Wisliceny, Herman Krumey and Hans Jüttner as war criminals. However, in his future testimonies, Kastner testified in favor of the above and declared that they helped in saving Jews, and thus allowing them to escape prosecution for war crimes.
Ten years later, when the famous "Kastner Trial"in Jerusalem in June of 1955 ended, the Supreme Court ruled that "Kastner saved Kurt Becher through intentional lies and in a criminal manner from the punishment that awaited him in Nuremberg" [death penalty]. [10] leaves, 33 cm. Duplication of a typewritten text. Good condition. Minor spots. Minor tears to borders of first and second leaf.
