Our Destruction in Pictures
Book Description
Bergen Belsen, 1946. Oblong Quarto. 38 leaves. Original colour illustrated wraps. A series of Holocaust images, predominantly taken in the ghettos of Beldzin and Lodz and the camp in Bergen-Belsen by captured Nazi soldiers, might best be described in the words of the editors:
"The incentive to produce this collection gave us our deepest desire to show the world the crimes of Germany, to give expression to the throttled cry of pain of the Jews, to the sighs of our fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, during the frozen nights of winter and the overpowering heat of the summer which was spent in sealed railway trucks, the desire to bring back to our memories of the Jewish settlements which were drowned in torrents of Jewish blood".
Prepared in advance of the Nuremberg Trials as a further evidence of Nazi crimes, it features 115 striking b/w photographs with captions in Yiddish, Hebrew, English, and German. Separate title pages in all four languages.
A rather good copy. Scarce.
