Slight cover wear noted. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads To Bob, a good friend who has always helped and encouraged me. Michael. This is one of the SUNY series in Jewish Philosophy. Michael Oppenheim was Associate Professor in the Department of Religion at Concordia University, Montreal. He was the coeditor of Truth and Compassion: Essays on Judaism and Religion in Memory of Rabbi Dr. Soloman Frank; and author of What Does Revelation Mean for the Modern Jew?: Rosenzweig, Buber, Fackenheim and Mutual Upholding: Fashioning Jewish Philosophy through Letters. Rosenzweig?s singular philosophical importance rests almost entirely on his having written what is arguably the greatest work of modern Jewish philosophy: The Star of Redemption. The Star is a system of philosophy that seeks to give a comprehensive and ramified account of ?All? that is, and of the human being?s place within that ?All?. It is a system in which ?revelation? plays a vital conceptual and methodological role, and in which Judaism and Christianity are claimed to offer glimpses, each through the course of its liturgical calendar, of the redemptive unity of the ?All? which the philosopher seeks to know. Levinas was convinced that through sensation and states of mind we also discover the futility of getting out of existence. In the physical torment of nausea, we experience being in its simplest, most burdensome neutrality. More

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
New York: Frederick Unger Publishing Co., 1983. Revised and Enlarged Edition [stated], First Paperback edition [stated]. Trade paperback. viii, 414, [10] pages. Foreword by Menachem Begin. Maps. Illustration. Footnotes. Appendix. Index. Inscribed and dated by the author on the half-title page. 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. William R. Perl was born to a textile merchant in Prague on September 21, 1906, in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He earned a Ph.D. in law and a master's degree in international business. He became deeply immersed in the growing Zionist movement. Perl established a successful law firm in Vienna after graduating and practiced law there until the Nazi take-over in 1938. Perl was a protégé of the Revisionist Zionist movement of Vladimir Jabotinsky. He participated in the movement during the 1930s as it became increasingly active against the NSDAP. In 1938 he organized "Die Aktion," a circle of young Viennese Zionists dedicated to making Theodor Herzl's dream of an independent Jewish state a reality. Less than a year later, Die Aktion succeeded in landing a number of Jewish immigrants on the coast of then Mandatory Palestine (now Israel). This is believed to have been the first successful landing of such refugees, when almost every other escape route had been closed to them. Perl continued to work with Zionist groups and Greek smugglers, organizing large-scale illegal immigration of Jews to Palestine and prodding reluctant Jewish leaders into doing the same. Perl rescued an estimated forty thousand Jews from Nazi occupied Europe. More
