Kamienie krzyczą [Screaming Stones], by Bronisław Wojciech Linke. Warsaw: Prasa, 1959. Polish.
An album of 14 reproductions of drawings by Bronisław Wojciech Linke. The drawings, created after World War II, during the years 1946-1956, present an apocalyptic vision of a city in ruin. In his drawings, Linke humanizes destroyed buildings, creating dark urban compositions, replete with violence and destruction. Especially notable is the drawing "El Moleh Rachmim" [Merciful God]: a destroyed building in a ruined city, wrapped in a tallit and tefillin.
Bronisław Wojciech Linke (1906-1962), a Polish painter, caricaturist and graphic designer, associated with the political left, was known for his "metaphorical realism" – a unique style combining realistic painting with intense expressive elements drawn from Surrealism as well as from German Expressionism, New Objectivity and Magical Realism. In his works, Linke took a political and social stand: dealing with issues of poverty, unemployment and the atrocities of war, denouncing bourgeoisie and militarism and criticizing technological progress and industrialization.
The foreword was written by Maria Dąbrowska (1889-1965), a Polish writer, journalist and political activist.
[4] ff. + 14 reproductions, 41 cm. Good condition. Stains. Creases and minor blemishes. Detached binding, with stains and blemishes.

"The petition for a retrial of the Kastner Trial", Shmuel Tamir. [Tel-Aviv], 1962. Hebrew.
A volume comprising photocopies of documents – petition of Shmuel Tamir, Malchiel Gruenwald's attorney, to the Attorney General of Israel, Gideon Hausner, with a request for a retrial of Gruenwald's case, and accompanying documents. The reason for the petition was new discoveries revealed during the Eichmann Trial and could, according to Tamir, lead to overturning the Supreme Court's verdict (given after the verdict of the District Court was appealed), according to which, Gruenwald did not manage to prove most of his claims against Rudolf Kastner.
This petition, which was submitted approx. five years after Kastner's murder, was rejected.
Many handwritten comments and markings (in pencil).
[2], 24, 10, [12], 6, [16] leaves, 32 cm. Good condition. Stains. Strips of tape on margins of some leaves.
