The Black Album. Tel-Aviv: The Anti-Nazi League, April 1940. Hebrew, English and French. Complete postcard binder comprising ten postcards.
This binder 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 binder 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 binder; 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". ?Each postcard is captioned – "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; cremating bodies 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. Binder: 10.5X16.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains, including some dampstains. One of the postcards is detached. Minor blemishes to the margins of several postcards. Creases and minor blemishes to cover.

A printed internal circular, issued by "The Relief Committee for Polish Jewry", containing an early report about Poland under the Nazi occupation which was given by "people who came from Poland". Jerusalem, May 1941.
The circular contains an account of the events in occupied Poland, describing the persecution of Jews – the revocation of citizenship, imprisonment in ghettoes, theft of possessions, restriction of movement, and more – as well as the oppression and destruction of the Polish culture – the closing down of universities, newspapers and publishing houses, the theft of works of art, imprisonments and executions, and more. In addition, the circular describes the attitude of the Polish population to the Jews according to their social class.
At the end of the circular, there is a copy of the order of the mayor of Warsaw, from December 18, 1939, which was published in the official newspaper of the Generalgouvernement, regarding the requirement to register all Jewish property, including real estate, personal property and securities. Later, this order made the "orderly" looting of Jewish property by the Nazis much easier.
With the outbreak of World War II and the news that reached Palestine about the situation of the Jews of Poland, the administration of the Jewish Agency chose a Relief Committee for Polish Jewry. There were four committee members, all of them members of the administration of the Jewish Agency: Yitzchak Gruenbaum, Moshe Shapira, Eliyahu Dobkin and Dr. Emil Schmorak. The Committee, which was known as "The Committee of Four" or "The Relief Committee for Polish Jewry", gathered information about the Jews in the ghettoes and tried to assist them by giving them immigration visas and transferring them through European countries to Palestine.
8 pp. (4 stapled leaves), 33 cm. Good-fair condition. Two leaves are detached. Fold lines and creases. A few stains. Tears to the margins and at the center of the fold lines. Pen writing on the margin of the last page.

Scenic postcard depicting the Great Synagogue of Nürnberg (published by OHB) with a sticker mounted on it indicating the destruction of the synagogue. The postcard was sent from the conference of the Nazi party which took place in Nürnberg and bears a stamp of the conference [Nürnberg, 1938].
The postcard depicts the island of Schütt on the Pegnitz River, which crosses the city, with the dome of the Great Synagogue of Nürnberg in its center. On the dome, a round sticker was mounted with the inscription: "Was hier an dieser Stelle stand. Aus Nürnberg endlich ist verbannt" [What had stood in this place has finally been removed from Nürnberg]. On the back of the postcard appear the stamp of the conference of the Nazi Party of Nürnberg – "Parteitag Grossdeutchlands" – with three Swastika flags, a postmark (partly erased) and a short letter by a woman recalling she had seen Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Hess and others (German).
The conference center of the Nazi party, where the conferences and parades of the party took place, was built in the city of Nürnberg. Already in August 1938, three months before Kristallnacht, as preparation for the conference that was about to take place in September, Julius Streicher ordered the destruction of the synagogue and the Jewish center near it, with the pretext that its sight harms the city's beauty.
Until the Nazi's rise to power, many scenic postcards depicted the synagogue as one of the central and most beautiful structures of the city.
9x14 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes to edges. A few creases and stains. The postage stamp was removed and part of the postmark is missing.

Four British banknotes that had been Forged as Part of "Operation Bernhard". Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, World War II.
Four British banknotes that had been printed by a team of forgers, among them Jewish prisoners of the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, during World War II: 5 Pound banknote (20.8.1935), 10 Pound banknote (18.5.1934), 20 Pound banknote (20.8.1932) and 50 Pound banknote (20.3.1930).
"Operation Bernhard", under the command of SS Major Bernhard Kruger, was meant to collapse the British economy by flooding it with millions of forged banknotes. The banknotes were printed at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, by a large team of people, many of them Jews, some of them prisoners at the camp. Later, with the progress of the Allies towards Sachsenhausen, the team of forgers was moved to the Mauthausen Concentration Camp. Until the end of the war, the Nazis succeeded in forging nine million banknotes, which accumulated to a sum of hundreds of millions of pounds. The success of the operation was limited, among other things due to intentional sabotage by the Jewish prisoners who operated the printing press of the camp.
Approx. 13x21.5 cm. F-VF overall condition. Tears and opens tears along the edges (not affecting text). Fold lines. "FALSZYWY" stamps on one of the banknotes.
Provenance: Morton Leventhal Collection, New York.
