Serge Klarsfeld (born 17 September 1935) is a Romanian-born French activist and Nazi hunter known for documenting the Holocaust in order to establish the record and to enable the prosecution of war criminals. Since the 1960s, he has made notable efforts to commemorate the Jewish victims of German-occupied France and has been a supporter of Israel. . Beate Auguste Klarsfeld (née Künzel; born 13 February 1939) is a Franco-German journalist and Nazi hunter who, along with her French husband, Serge, became famous for their investigation and documentation of numerous Nazi war criminals, including Kurt Lischka, Alois Brunner, Klaus Barbie, Ernst Ehlers [de] and Kurt Aschen. On 4 July 1987, the SS war criminal Klaus Barbie (known as the butcher of Lyon) was convicted on her initiative. Barbie was found guilty of crimes against humanity and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Klarsfeld rated this success as the most important result of their actions. In 1972 she had helped to discover Barbie's whereabouts in Bolivia. It is thanks to their commitment that the Maison d’Izieu (Children of Izieu) memorial was founded, which commemorates the victims of the crimes committed by Barbie. In 1996, during the warfare in the former Yugoslavia, the Klarsfelds joined the outcry against Radovan Karadži and Ratko Mladi for alleged war crimes and genocide of Bosnian Muslims. More

Excerpt from KIRKUS REVIEW: Maybe not the largest, maybe not the most secret, but ... the most exciting -- at least as recollected by Ruth Kluger about her operations with the Mossad in World War II. That was a group of ten secret individuals (nine men and a woman) who tried to smuggle Jews out of Europe into Palestine as Hitler was making his final decision between deportation and incineration -- and every country in the world ""regretfully"" barred its doors. Unbelievable obstacles -- finding ship owners willing to lease vessels at premium in wartime; calming down passengers confined shipboard, endless baksheesh (bribes) to border officials, stationmasters, harbormasters, embassies (for phony transit or entry visas); evading British ships and border patrols which sent illegal immigrants (only 10,000 legal per year) back to where they came or, at best, to some Palestinian prison; and finally, money from rich Jews unwilling to believe their civilized world was collapsing all around them. This is truly a tragic, story no one, Jews, gypsies, or the great untouched, should ever forget. More

As a congressman and after his terms as mayor he was a fervent supporter of the State of Israel. He crossed party lines to endorse Rudy Giuliani for mayor in 1993, Michael Bloomberg in 2001, and President George W. Bush in 2004. A popular figure, he rode the New York City Subway and stood at street corners greeting passersby with the slogan "How'm I doin'?"

New York City: Shengold Publishers, Inc., 1979. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. DJ and book have wear and soiling. Bookplate of previous owner on fep. Preface. Notes. The contents are divided into eight chapters: Prolegomenon, The State of Shock, Despair, The World Stands Accused, The Complaint Against Heaven, Confession, Unshaken Faith, and Conclusion. This book is an in-depth study of predominant Holocaust themes as reflected in Hebrew poetry during and in the post-Holocaust periods. Rabbi Kohn consulted leading contemporary Hebrew poets, like Aharon Zeitlin, Yehudah Leib Bialer, Israel Efros, Shimon Halkin, and Chaim Chamiel. The material was selected on specific topics such as Shock, Despair; and Reactions to a silent and indifferent world in full view of the annihilation of the Jewish people; and the sense of guilt of those who survived and of those who were not "there"... This study unveils for the first time, for the English reading public, poetic sources on the Holocaust. Poetry is the closest emotional testimony of the victims and witnesses of the Holocaust whose testimony reverberates from every verse, particularly of those who can no longer personally bear witness. They eternalized their feelings poetically. Poetry comes closest to a recorded testimony of our martyrs. They conveyed their anguish through verse before dying, thus letting us emotionally experience that imponderable moment and help us, albeit vicariously, identify with that suffering. Thus the martyr and victims testify in poetic genre for the annals of human history what happened, while the other poets record their anguished protest and speak the conscience of our partially decimated people.

Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 1999. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxviii,[2], 300 pages. Illustrations. Abbreviations. References. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads To Barbara, Great to see you again. Carol Kolmerten. This is one of the Writing American Women series. Ernestine L. Rose was one of the most important, but also one of the least-known, women's rights activists in nineteenth-century America. In the first comprehensive biography of Rose, Carol A. Kolmerten has recovered the most eloquent and persuasive speeches and letters of the movement itself. Rose's disappearance from history is telling. Scorned by newspaper editors, ministers, and politicians, she was also ignored by many of the very women and men with whom she shared reform platforms. In a movement that drew much of its moral and intellectual energy from appeals to sentimental Christian piety, Rose's atheism, her Jewish and Polish background, her foreign accent, and her blunt appeal to reason all made her a kind of barometer for the era's reformers, registering their anti-Semitism, their anti-immigrationist sentiments, their unconscious racism.
