Abstract: Three sets of documents aimed at, or documenting, the fate of Jews in Europe during World War II. Two of the documents (bound
correspondence from Gestapo Headquarters and the list of partisan Jewish doctors) are in German; the broadside is in French.
Container: 1
This collection consists of lists of Jews, and a broadside aimed at Jews, produced during World War II.
The oldest is a bound list of copies of typed correspondence between Gestapo and SS Headquarters in Berlin, and Gestapo Headquarters
in Osnabruck, February 12, 1937 to September 15, 1938, which list the names of Jews who have emigrated and have therefore
been stripped of their citizenship with instructions that the individuals be arrested should they attempt to reenter the country.
The second is a broadside dated September 26, 1940, and issued by Mayor Gaston Chardin of the Paris suburb of Champigny-sur-Marne
and that advises all Jews in the city to report to City Hall with their identificaiton documents by October 2.
And the third, which consists of two documents, probably produced at the end of the war, lists Jewish doctors in Slovakia
who fought as partisans and were killed or murdered in German concentration camps.

[Gestapo lists of Jews who have fled Germany and to be re-arrested on their return] 1937-1938
Bound list of dozens of war-dated copies of typed transcripts of correspondence between Gestapo and SS Headquarters in Berlin,
and Gestapo and SS Headquarters in Osnabruck, covering the period February 12, 1937 to September 15, 1938. The documents are
identical in form: in letters signed in type, some by Heinrich Muller, Berlin provides the names of those who have emigrated
and have therefore been stripped of their citizenship with instructions that the individuals be arrested should they attempt
to reenter the country. The emigrant's name, date of birth, place of birth, and last place of residence in Germany are included
in alphabetical order. These copies were then sent to the local gendarmeries for reference once a suspected illegal immigrant
was arrested. [Bookseller's description]

Avis aux Israelites... (Notice to Jews...) circa 1940
Broadside issued by Mayor Gaston Chardin of the Paris suburb of Champigny-sur-Marne, September 26, 1940, about three months
after France collapsed and surrendered to Germany. The broadside reads, in part, "Notice to Israelites. On the order of the
Authorities of the occupation, the Israelites must present themselves, carrying identification documents, at the City Hall
of Champigny...before 2 October at the latest in order to complete an identify form. Failure to appear within the prescribed
time limits, the above-referred people expose themselves to the most severe measures...." [Bookseller's description]

Liste der Aerzte aus der Slovakei... [List of doctors from Slovakia who died as partisans or in concentration camps] circa 1945
Two documents evidencing the efforts of Jewish doctors in Slovakia who fought the pro-Nazi government and were killed or murdered
in German concentration camps. The typed documents bear no place or date but were likely prepared ion Bratislava late in
the war or at the war's end, and were with several manuscript marginal annotations on both, made in the same hand. On the
first document, nearly 100 doctors from Bratislava and elsewhere are listed by name, specialty, and location, and all most
all were Jews. Several names are added by hand, one with the notation "Transport". Other doctors are listed under the headings
"Doctors who fell as a partisan with the sword in his hand" and "Doctors who fought but remained alive". The second list
contains many similar names, and may have been an earlier list made by the same editor. [Bookseller's description]
