New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1992. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good (in Brodart sleeve). xiii, [1], 297, [1] pages. Oversize--measures 11-1/2 by 8-3/4 inches. Contains an introduction by Peter Gay. Illustrations. Maps. Topics covered include origins, the institutions of Jewish life, from the Middle Ages to the court Jews, the return to history (The Age of Moses Mendelssohn), The Struggle for Emancipation, and The Nazi Period, Emigration, Palestine, and the End.

Ruth Gay (née Slotkin; October 19, 1922 - May 9, 2006) was a Jewish writer who wrote about Jewish life and won the 1997 National Jewish Book Award for non-fiction for Unfinished People: Eastern European Jews Encounter America (1996). Peter Joachim Gay (June 20, 1923 - May 12, 2015) was a German-American historian, educator, and author. He was Sterling Professor of History at Yale University. This unique book provides a panoramic overview of the 1500-year history of the Jews in Germany. Through texts, pictures, and contemporary accounts, it follows the German Jews from their first settlements on the Rhine in the fourth century to the destruction of the community in World War II. The book reveals how the German Jews looked, how they lived, what they thought about, and what others thought of them. The author shows how the German Jews organized their communities, created a new language (Yiddish), and built their special culture. Derived from a Kirkus review: The history of Jews in Germany begins with the third century A.D., when a settlement at Cologne was paying taxes to the Emperor Constantine. It ends in 1943, the year Hitler declared the country ``Judenrein''-free of Jews. By then, 170,000-out of a community of half a million-had perished in the camps. The rest had emigrated. This fascinating account by Gay covers not only the tragedies leading up to the ultimate one, but the triumphs of nearly two millennia. Gay describes the strategies of day-to-day survival for rich and for poor, Prussians and Alsatians, city and country folk, men and women-making dozens of useful distinctions overlooked in our standard simple notion of what it meant to be a German Jew. The Lateran Council in 1215 required that Jews wear distinctive headgear. A few Jews were financial advisers to dukes and princes and, later, stunningly successful capitalists. But most lived in rural poverty as late as the 19th century, when 120,000 emigrated to the US. Gay's text is easy to follow, and the copious illustrations include woodcuts, engravings, photographs of forgotten ancestors, and facsimile pages of historic documents. Almost every page offers some intriguing tidbit. A Jewish envoy of Charlemagne brought a white elephant back to Aachen from the Baghdad court of Caliph Haroun el Rashid. Twelve thousand Jewish soldiers fought and died for the Kaiser during WW I. Gay's book rescues a long and variegated history from the dark shadow of recent events., Yale University Press, 1992, 3, New York: Shapolsky Publishers, Inc, 1989. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. [4], 261, [7] pages. Illustrations. Name of previous owner on fep. Sticker residue on back of DJ. Includes Acknowledgments, Foreword, Glossary, and Index.

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. 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 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, often acting just one step ahead of the Gestapo and of the British agents working to stop illegal immigration. Perl joined the U.S. Army in 1941 and became a military intelligence officer. He was assigned to Allied Intelligence in London, where he worked with some of the same British intelligence officers who had pursued him across Europe. 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. Careful review of the Holocaust material published so far still leaves scholars and the public wondering: How could this tragedy ever have happened?; How was such a world-wide collapse of values possible?; Why was the Holocaust so terribly successful? These crucial questions are finally answered in 'The Holocaust Conspiracy'. 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 that made the Holocaust and the Final Solution so tragically ineffective. Using extensive documentation, he convincingly proves it was deliberate action on the part of many nations that kept millions prisoner in a hostile Europe. These deliberate actions are conclusively shown to be the result of conspiracies within individual governments and between governments. Here, also, a comprehensive analysis of the Holocaust policies of powers that until now have received relatively little attention or blame: Switzerland, The Soviet Union, Latin America, and the International Red Cross. "The Holocaust Conspiracy" sheds shocking new light on the plots and discreet actions of world powers to effectively support the Nazi genocide programs.

Sir Leon Simon, the author of this book, was one of the intimate circle of Ahad Ha-Am's disciples during the decade and a half of the latter's residence in London. He became a devoted translator of Ahad Ha-Am's works and an expounder of his teachings. Sir Leon Simon CB (born 1881 in Southampton; died 1965 in London) was a leading British Zionist intellectual and civil servant who took part in the drafting of the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and served on the Zionist Commission with Chaim Weizmann. An advocate of cultural Zionism and the reviver of Hebrew language, Simon was a scholar and translator of Ahad Ha'am, and produced the first modern Hebrew translations of Plato. He served as the Chairman of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Executive Council, and as from 1949-50 as the university's President. Simon came under the influence of Ahad Ha'am (Asher Zvi Hirsch Ginzberg), a leading figure of cultural Zionism, and went on to translate many of his works into English as well as writing his biography. Simon was a member of the Zionist Commission alongside Israel Sieff, M. D. Eder and others in 1918 to begin talks with the government of David Lloyd George on the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine. A draft of the Balfour Declaration, written by Simon on paper of London's Imperial Hotel on July 17, 1917 was auctioned off in 2005 through Sotheby's for $884,000 US in New York. It is the only known surviving handwritten draft of the declaration. Asher Zvi Hirsch Ginzberg (18 August 1856 - 2 January 1927), primarily known by his Hebrew name and pen name Ahad Ha'am, was a Hebrew essayist, and one of the foremost pre-state Zionist thinkers. He is known as the founder of cultural Zionism. With his secular vision of a Jewish "spiritual center" in Israel. Unlike Herzl, the founder of political Zionism, Ha'am strived for "a Jewish state and not merely a state of Jews". In 1896, Ahad Ha'am founded the Hebrew monthly. Ha-Shiloa , the leading Hebrew-language literary journal in the early twentieth century. It was a vehicle to promote Jewish nationalism and a platform for discussion of past and present issues relevant to Judaism. Ahad Ha'am's ideas were popular at a very difficult time for Zionism, beginning after the failures of the first Aliya. His unique contribution was to emphasize the importance of reviving Hebrew and Jewish culture both in Palestine and throughout the Diaspora, something that was recognized only belatedly, when it became part of the Zionist program after 1898. Ahad Ha'am played an important role in the revival of the Hebrew language and Jewish culture, and in cementing a link between the proposed Jewish state and Hebrew culture. Ahad Ha-Am represents one of the most interesting manifestations of the vitality of the Jewish spirit. The basis of his thought was an attempt to join the Prophetic tradition and Jewish idealism with the culture of the western world. To a generation of Jews whose intellectual leaders had abandoned the ways and views of their parents, but could find no no goals that would assure their people's survival, Ahad Ha-Am issued a call for a spiritual renaissance through conscious self-dedication to the values implicit in Jewish life. He was acceptable neither to the old orthodoxy nor to the new political nationalism of his day. Yet he laid the foundations for a revivified, vibrant and meaningful Jewish people. Both Israel and the Diaspora feel his influence, and everyone who reads this book will readily see why. In 1955 there appeared in Hebrew a definitive study of Ahad Ha-Am's career written by Sir Leon Simon and the late Joseph Heller. In this English version, the Jewish Publication Society only published the Leon Simon biography. It is an expanded version of Sir Leon's original biographical sketch, a forthright and lucid character study of Ahad Ha-Am by a pupil and disciple, one eminently qualified for the task he undertook. This biography of a complex and fascinating Jewish intellectual has the added interest of being a document which testifies to the degree to which the forces of acculturation work even on the personality of one who is as committed a Zionist and Hebraist as Sir Leon. His whole approach in appraising Ahad Ha-Am's life-balanced, fair-minded, judicious-is very British indeed. No less praise can be given-and this the ordinary reader must find gratifying-to the skillful way Sir Leon camouflages his careful scholarship as he pursues his subject. Footnotes are not used, but the student of Ahad Ha-Am will discover that no source material has been ignored. Everything is adroitly employed-the six volumes of personal letters which Ahad Ha-Am collected shortly before his death, the occasional fragments of biography which he composed, and even the not very accessible private memoirs of his sister. It may come as a surprise to some that Ahad Ha-Am's uncompromising positivist convictions were in conflict with his natural conservatism-a conservatism expressed in an almost filial deference toward Jewish traditions. And Sir Leon gives a poignant picture of that conflict, personified in the hate-love which marked Ahad Ha-Am's relation to his father. The portrait of the stern father as the image of Jewish religious authoritarianism, familiar in 20th-century Hebrew fiction, is shatteringly real in the biography of Ahad Ha-Am. The father had little sympathy for the son's ambitions and consistently belittled his abilities. The conflict in Ahad Ha-Am worked at the very roots of his system. It explains a good deal not only of his ideological development but also of the psychological deterrents which inhibited his personal life. Introspective, self-critical, and skeptical regarding his own abilities, Ahad Ha-Am became a leader of men. "A high seriousness and a sense of responsibility" compelled him to speak out forcefully and clearly about the problems of his day. For all his devotion to the Zionist ideal, he saw the pitfalls of nationalist enthusiasms leading to the distortions of expediency. His thinking retains a relevance for contemporary Jews; and contemporary Jewish journalism could use a little more of his high-minded criticism and uncompromising honesty., East and West Library, 1960, 2.5, Istanbul: TC Basbakanlik Devlet Arsivleri Genel Müdürlügü Osmanli Arsivi Daire Baskanligi, 2014.

A historical account of the Normans, paired with a travelogue based on an architectural tour of Sicily to study the influence of the Normans, by a British M.P., traveler, and writer who served as High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1814-15. "Knight, Henry Gally (1786–1846), architectural writer and antiquary, was born on 2 December 1786, the only son of Henry Gally Knight (d. 1808) of Langold Hall, Yorkshire, barrister, and his wife, Selina, daughter of William Fitzherbert of Tissington, Derbyshire. His grandfather John Gally (who assumed the additional name of Knight) was MP for Aldborough and Boroughbridge, and a son of Henry Gally DD, the classical scholar. The diplomatist Alleyne Fitzherbert, Baron St Helens, was his uncle; the novelist Frances Jacson was his aunt.Knight was educated at Eton College, and entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in 1805; he was in residence there until succeeding to the family estates on his father's death in 1808, when he left Cambridge without taking a degree. In 1809 he travelled to Spain, where he purchased works by Spanish painters. During 1810–11 he travelled in Greece, Egypt, and Palestine with Frederick Sylvester North Douglas and John Nicholas Fazakerley. He was a founder member of Grillion's Club in 1812. Between 1816 and 1830 he published a number of poems, including ‘Ilderim, a Syrian Tale' (1816), which often drew inspiration from his earlier travels. His poetry received mixed reviews from Byron. In 1814, through a family connection with the fourth duke of Newcastle, Knight was returned as MP for Aldborough, but resigned the seat in the following year when he supported Catholic emancipation, against the wishes of his patron. He joined Brooks's Club in 1816 and associated with the group of whigs who followed the second Earl Fitzwilliam, opposing the repressive measures taken by the government against popular protest. Out of parliament, he remained active in public affairs in Nottinghamshire. He married, on 13 July 1825, Henrietta (d. 1848), widow of her first cousin John Hardolf Eyre and daughter of Anthony Hardolph Eyre of Grove Park, Nottinghamshire. They had no children. In 1828 he wrote a pamphlet on the Foreign and Domestic View of the Catholic Question. He returned to parliament in 1831 as MP for Malton, a seat owned by Fitzwilliam, and supported parliamentary reform, but did not stand at the general election in 1832. In 1835, by then a Conservative, he was elected for North Nottinghamshire, which he represented until his death. As an MP he was regarded by his contemporaries as a fluent but infrequent speaker. In May 1831 Knight, accompanied by the architect Richard Hussey, had travelled to France to study the buildings and libraries of Normandy. After his return to England he published An Architectural Tour in Normandy (1836), which was translated into French by M. A. Campion and published in Caen in 1838. This work had a significant influence upon the French antiquarian Arcisse de Caumont, and in recognition of his work Knight was made a foreign member of the Société Française. In August 1836 he travelled to Messina with the architect George Moore, a pupil of Edward Blore. Knight produced two books relating to this expedition: The Normans in Sicily (1838; French translation by M. A. Campion, 1839; German translation, ed. C. R. Lepsius, 1841) and Saracenic and Norman Remains to Illustrate the ‘Normans in Sicily' (1840). In 1842–4 he published the two-volume The Ecclesiastical Architecture of Italy from … Constantine to the 15th Century, with eighty-one litho-chromatic plates, some by Owen Jones. Although Knight's work was that of an amateur antiquarian and lacked acute stylistic analysis, his books did influence some early Victorian architects. The Ecclesiastical Architecture of Italy in particular provided accurate, visual documentation relating to Italian medieval architecture. Of great interest were the details of the various characteristic orms of polychromy. In 1841 Knight was a member of the select committee on the fine arts, which initiated the historical fresco paintings in the houses of parliament. He was also deputy lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. He died in Lower Grosvenor Street, London, where he lived, on 9 February 1846, and was buried in Firbeck church, Yorkshire, on 17 February. His will directed that his Langold estate should be sold for the benefit of some friends. His other estates at Firbeck, Kirton, and Warsop were left to his widow during her lifetime. After her death the Firbeck estate and mansion were to go to the ecclesiastical commissioners for charitable uses. Some manuscripts relating to Knight's tour in 1810–11 remained in the hands of his family." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, John Murray, Albemarle-Street / G.

Out of parliament, he remained active in public affairs in Nottinghamshire. He married, on 13 July 1825, Henrietta (d. 1848), widow of her first cousin John Hardolf Eyre and daughter of Anthony Hardolph Eyre of Grove Park, Nottinghamshire. They had no children. In 1828 he wrote a pamphlet on the Foreign and Domestic View of the Catholic Question. He returned to parliament in 1831 as MP for Malton, a seat owned by Fitzwilliam, and supported parliamentary reform, but did not stand at the general election in 1832. In 1835, by then a Conservative, he was elected for North Nottinghamshire, which he represented until his death. As an MP he was regarded by his contemporaries as a fluent but infrequent speaker. In May 1831 Knight, accompanied by the architect Richard Hussey, had travelled to France to study the buildings and libraries of Normandy. After his return to England he published An Architectural Tour in Normandy (1836), which was translated into French by M. A. Campion and published in Caen in 1838. This work had a significant influence upon the French antiquarian Arcisse de Caumont, and in recognition of his work Knight was made a foreign member of the Société Française. In August 1836 he travelled to Messina with the architect George Moore, a pupil of Edward Blore. Knight produced two books relating to this expedition: The Normans in Sicily (1838; French translation by M. A. Campion, 1839; German translation, ed. C. R. Lepsius, 1841) and Saracenic and Norman Remains to Illustrate the ‘Normans in Sicily' (1840). In 1842–4 he published the two-volume The Ecclesiastical Architecture of Italy from … Constantine to the 15th Century, with eighty-one litho-chromatic plates, some by Owen Jones. Although Knight's work was that of an amateur antiquarian and lacked acute stylistic analysis, his books did influence some early Victorian architects. The Ecclesiastical Architecture of Italy in particular provided accurate, visual documentation relating to Italian medieval architecture. Of great interest were the details of the various characteristic orms of polychromy. In 1841 Knight was a member of the select committee on the fine arts, which initiated the historical fresco paintings in the houses of parliament. He was also deputy lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. He died in Lower Grosvenor Street, London, where he lived, on 9 February 1846, and was buried in Firbeck church, Yorkshire, on 17 February. His will directed that his Langold estate should be sold for the benefit of some friends. His other estates at Firbeck, Kirton, and Warsop were left to his widow during her lifetime. After her death the Firbeck estate and mansion were to go to the ecclesiastical commissioners for charitable uses. Some manuscripts relating to Knight's tour in 1810–11 remained in the hands of his family." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, John Murray, Albemarle-Street / G.

A historical account of the Normans, paired with a travelogue based on an architectural tour of Sicily to study the influence of the Normans, by a British M.P., traveler, and writer who served as High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1814-15. "Knight, Henry Gally (1786–1846), architectural writer and antiquary, was born on 2 December 1786, the only son of Henry Gally Knight (d. 1808) of Langold Hall, Yorkshire, barrister, and his wife, Selina, daughter of William Fitzherbert of Tissington, Derbyshire. His grandfather John Gally (who assumed the additional name of Knight) was MP for Aldborough and Boroughbridge, and a son of Henry Gally DD, the classical scholar. The diplomatist Alleyne Fitzherbert, Baron St Helens, was his uncle; the novelist Frances Jacson was his aunt.Knight was educated at Eton College, and entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in 1805; he was in residence there until succeeding to the family estates on his father's death in 1808, when he left Cambridge without taking a degree. In 1809 he travelled to Spain, where he purchased works by Spanish painters. During 1810–11 he travelled in Greece, Egypt, and Palestine with Frederick Sylvester North Douglas and John Nicholas Fazakerley. He was a founder member of Grillion's Club in 1812. Between 1816 and 1830 he published a number of poems, including ‘Ilderim, a Syrian Tale’ (1816), which often drew inspiration from his earlier travels. His poetry received mixed reviews from Byron.
