Description: Berlin, Germany: Jakow Trachtenberg Verlag, 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. "I myself am not German but a foreigner. Because of this I feel it is my duty to stand up for the honour of the country which has given me hospitality for the past fourteen years. I must state expressly that I am doing this of my own accord, and will carry this action through without the influence of any official or private initiative. The material I have collected here will convince every honest and well-meaning person abroad, that the agitation regarding the alleged acts of atrocity in Germany may very well lead in the end to genuine acts of this kind, for the unscrupulous instigators of this lying propaganda are plainly out to bring on a new war. But at the same time the book should prove that the German Jews themselves regard the atrocity propaganda as lies and are eager to oppose it with every means in their power and to inform those abroad of the real truth." - Preface. A compilation of statements attributed to a wide variety of sources including Chancellor Hitler, Vice-Chancellor von Papen, Baron von Neurath, Captain Göring, Dr. Goebbels, The Federation of Jewish Soldiers Who Fought At The Front, The Israelite-Sephardic Society of Berlin, The Committee of the Berlin Jewish Community, The Prussian Federation of Orthodox Synagogue Communities (Halberstadt), The Israelite Community in Dresden, The Saxon Federation of Israelite Communities, and many more. Presumably published in response to the anti-Nazi boycott initiated in March of 1933 due, in part, to the efforts of Samuel Untermyer. [4]-142 pp. 25.7 x 19.8cm.
