New York, N.Y. Shapolsky Publishers, 1989. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 261, [5] pages. Includes Acknowledgments, Foreword, Glossary, and Index. Also contains an Epilogue: Could I Happen Again?, to which the author replies that it certainly can, but never the same way it did in the Thirties and Forties. William R. Perl (21 September 1906 – 24 December 1998) was a Prague-born American lawyer and psychologist who was the chief interrogator during the Malmedy massacre trial. Perl continued his study of psychology at Columbia University and then served as an army psychologist until his retirement with the rank of Lt. Colonel in 1966. Perl became the leader of the Washington, D.C. branch of the Jewish Defense League in the 1970s, and received international media attention for his protests against persecution of Jews by the Soviet Union. He organized demonstrations outside and inside the Soviet Embassy and at public events involving Soviet officials. More
New York: Shapolsky Publishers, Inc., 1989. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [4], 261, [7] pages. Illustrations. Name of previous owner on fep. Sticker residue on back of DJ. Includes Acknowledgments, Foreword, Glossary, and Index. Also includes chapters on Conspiracy. The Psychoscocial Context; Setting of the Course: The Fiasco of the Evian Conference: An American-British Conspiracy; Conspiracy in the American Hierarchy; Conspiracy in the American Hierarchy; Conspiracy in the British Hierarchy; Soviet Policies that Supported the Final Solution--Photographs and Documents; How the Allies Kept Auschwitz Operating; The other Americas. Latin America-Canada; The Moral Powers. The Vatican, The International Red Cross. Switzerland; and Epilogue: Could It Happen Again?. By combining existing research with previously unknown findings, Dr. Perl draws the inescapable conclusion that it was not apathetic inaction of the world's powers which made the Holocaust and the Final Solution so radically effective. The author uses extensive documentation to convincingly prove it was deliberate action on the part of many nations that kept millions of those destined for murder, prisoners in a hostile Europe. These deliberate actions are conclusively shown to result from conspiracies within individual governments as well as between governments. More

She started at McClelland & Stewart in 1969 and became president and publisher of Seal Books. In 1979, she founded Key Porter Books and in 1986 she purchased a majority stake in Doubleday Canada. In 2004, she was appointed to the Board of Governors of York University.

In 2004, Porter sold her interest in Key Porter Books to focus on writing. She has published three mystery novels and three books on Middle European history.

London: Queen Anne Press (a division of Macdonald & Co.), 1986. First U.K. Edition, Presumed First Printing. Hardcover. xix, [1], 364 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. DJ has minor wear and soiling. Based on exclusive and unrestricted access to more than 5,000 pages of personal writings and family photos, this definitive biography of German physician and SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer Josef Mengele (1911-1979) probes the personality and motivations of Auschwitz's "Angel of Death." From May 1943 through January 1945, Mengele selected who would be gassed immediately, who would be worked to death, and who would serve as involuntary guinea pigs for his spurious and ghastly human experiments (twins were Mengele's particular obsession). With authority and insight, Posner and Ware examine the entire life of the world's most infamous doctor. More
Paris: Reseau de Souvenir [Remembrance Network], printed by Imprimerie Tournon & Cie, c1965. Unknown, presumed first edition, first printing. Wraps. Format is approximately 6 inches by 8 inches. 16 pages, including covers. Illustrated cover. Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. Most of the text is in English. This brochure was produced by the remembrance network thanks to the benevolent support of the Minister of Veterans Affairs and the General Tourism Commission. The memorial was designed by G. H. Pingusson. The memorial consists of three distinct components: The phase of silence [a walk through a garden enables the visitor to leave behind the noise and traffic of the city], the plunge into the unfamiliar [two steep and narrow flights of stone steps parallel to the arms of the Seine create a breach with the world of the living. Step by step, the familiar landscape of Paris is blotted out from sight], and the third phase--a Presence, in the tomb, at the entrance to a long gallery, the walls are covered with 200,000 facets sparkling with as many flames. There rests an unknown deported. Fat in the distance a single light reminds those who stand there that lost in thought that no sacrifice on earth is in vain. More

DJ is in a plastic sleeve and has slight wear and soiling. Jacob Robinson was a jurist, diplomat, and historian. Robinson graduated from the law school of the University of Warsaw (1914). In 1922 he was admitted to the bar and was elected to the Lithuanian parliament, holding office as chairman of the Jewish faction. With the foundation of the Congress of Nationalities, he became (1925–31) one of the spokesmen for the Jewish cause at international gatherings. With the emergence of the Nazi threat to European Jewry, he organized a secret committee for the protection of Jewish rights and used his connections for admission of German Jews to Lithuania. In 1941, he established in New York, the Institute of Jewish Affairs. He headed the Institute for seven years, and was a special consultant for Jewish affairs to the U.S. chief of counsel, Robert H. Jackson, in the trial of the major war criminals in Nuremberg, and as consultant to the UN in the establishment of the Human Rights Commission. In 1952, he was in charge of drafting Israel's Reparations Agreement with West Germany. From 1957, he was adviser to the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. For the Eichmann trial, he was special consultant to the attorney general on problems of the history of the Holocaust and of international law. Robinson was the author of numerous books and articles. These include: The Metamorphosis of the United Nations and And the Crooked Shall be Made Straight (1965), which was a reply to Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem. More
