RARE multilingual photographic album published in Poland shortly after the end of World War II, when relatively little was known on the magnitude of the genocide perpetrated upon the European Jews. This album contains a short introduction, and 252 b&w photographs of shocking footage from the Jewish settlements at the onset of German occupation, the ghettos into which they were later crowded, and finally photographs of the atrocities committed in the forced labor camps and the extermination camps. Another section of the book is dedicated to the Jewish partisan movements. The photographs were mostly taken as mementos by German soldiers, and are still as shocking today as they were in 1945. The introductory text and the image captions are in Polish, Russian, English, French, Yiddish and Hebrew. 340x250mm. 104 pages [+ unpaginated introduction and captions]. Black rebound Hardcover with original b&w cover pasted on front. Cover corners slightly wrinkled. Spine edges bumped/wrinkled. Ex-library copy with stamp on pre-title page (Yad Vashem library). Pre-title page bottom corner taped. Upper corner of first image captions page taped. Edges of extreme and few other pages slightly tattered - no damage to plates or text. Text block edges age-stained. Some pages slightly age-stained. Pages slightly yellowing. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare and valuable photographic testimony to the horrors of the Holocaust is otherwise in good condition.
