Item description from seller

New York: Crown Publishers , Inc., 1971. Fine condition in a Near Fine dust jacket (price clipped). NO chips. NO tears. NO fading. Bright, shiny, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Fresh and crisp -- apparently never read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. The Complete, Documented Story of the Poles Who Struggled to Save Jews During World War Two. Foreword by Dr. Joseph L. Lichten. List of chapter notes. Index. Bound in the original green cloth, stamped in shiny dark green. From the dust jacket: "Beginning with a brief history of the Jews in Poland, Iranek-Osmecki describes, in unprecedented detail, the organization of the Polish resistance: the smuggling of food into the ghettos, the evolution of the underground press, the development of paramilitary fighting forces inside and outside the ghetto walls, the heroic work of the Polish government in exile, and the mobilization for the Warsaw ghetto uprising. Aside from depicting conditions in the cities of Poland, he also describes the human aspects of the holocaust -- how Jews were hidden and cared for in small towns and villages, and even in forests, by Poles who were eventually murdered for their efforts by the Germans. HE WHO SAVES ONE LIFE is starkly documented by official dispatches and documents drawn from many previously unpublished sources -- newspapers, findings of government investigations, government bulletins from Poland, reports from the Jewish National Committee and the Council for Aid to Jews, pamphlets from the Polish Ministry of information, and underground press publications, as well as eyewitness accounts from Jews in the ghettos, members of the Polish underground, public officials, and the many Jews who escaped with the aid of Poles.". First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine jacket (price clip). 8vo. xvi, 336pp.…

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
