A propos de cet article

ONE OF THE VERY FIRST MAPS OF NAZI DEATH CAMPS, IF NOT THE FIRST Pamphlet in illustrated wraps, 185 x 122mm; pp. 56. A very early account of Nazi atrocities in Poland, featuring a map of known concentration camps. Alongside Auschwitz, Belzec and others is the remarkable inclusion of Treblinka, which was only operational from 23 July 1942, making this one of the very earliest mentions of this extraordinarily deadly site. (Sobibor, by contrast, is not present, indicating the uncertain knowledge of the extent of Nazi crimes during this period.) Through the summer of 1942 the wider world began to learn of the mass killing of Jews in Poland. The 'Bund Report' of May put the number at 700,000, and the BBC and British press reported this through June and July, attempting to mitigate the numbing effect of ever larger numbers by giving specific accounts of massacres and acts of persecution and cruelty in the ghettos and elsewhere. The present booklet is amongst the very first separately printed accounts of the holocaust, preceded only by the so-called 'Polish White Book' and contemporary witH the 'Polish Black Book' (and itself preceding the better known 'Karski Report'); it is therefore an important document in the vital issue of allied understanding and public acknowledgment of the genocide. The pamphlet includes many texts from the 9 July Ministry of Information conference, and follows the format of the 15 July issue of the Polish Fortnightly Review, so it was likely produced soon after. In fact only the inclusion of Treblinka, mentioned above, suggests slightly later publication, though publication in 1942 is certain (note that some online sources cite this book as being published in 1941, which is evidently impossible). Alongside the map, the booklet prints many of the 9 July speeches, letters from prison, the Resolution of the Polish National Council, a range of statements from international politicians, and, crucially, a specific section on the 'Destruction of the Jewish Population'. Given the difficulty of uncovering information, it is remarkable how much was known at this early and pivotal moment in the holocaust. Good condition: cover somewhat marked, flattened fold to rear cover; staples removed so loose, with rust marks from the staples, as often.…
