Title: Jewish Frontier. 11 monthly issues: Vol. VI, Nos. 1-11 (January-November, 1939)
Seller: McBlain Books (United States)
Condition: Fair
Description: New York: Jewish Frontier Association, 1939. Paperback. Fair. Issues generally 31-32 pages (with cover generally included in pagination; the June issue dedicated to Albert Einstein contains 71 pages and includes an analysis of a British White Paper on Palestine by David Ben Gurion. 31 cm. All issues printed on high acid paper that is not a lot better than newsprint so all issues have some browning and at least a little chipping in margins. Covers are usually split and chipped along the fold; the back covers for the March and July issues are missing. A couple issues also have minor insect damage along fore-edge. Small oval Yale University Library stamp at bottom of the front cover on almost all issues. These issues are fragile and will require careful handling to preserve them. Scarce pro-Zionist labor/left periodical issued monthly (11 times a year) at this time. Shlomo Katz listed as Managing Editor with Hayim Greenberg and Hayim Fineman listed as editors. Much on Palestine, labor issues, Nazi Germany, World War II, British White Paper Betrayal, etc. The March issue has a symposium at pages 9-20 titled "Jews in a World of Violence" between Mahatma Gandhi, Norman Angell and Hayim Greenberg in which Gandhi sympathisized generally with Jews but rejected calls for a National Homeland for the Jews, declaring that Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense the England belongs to the English and France to the French. Gandhi argued that Jews should cling to the moral high ground and rely on the power of non-violence even if it resulted in their slaughter. Angell and Greenberg disagreed, disparaging Arab claims to Palestine and supporting Zionism.

Title: Archive of Letters
Author: [Schlüdi, Dr. Harry]
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: 1958 February 3, 1958 - June 4, 1958. From German nuclear physicist Dr. Harry Schlüdi to Gerda Ellington: 13 ALS with original envelopes. Included with the group is a 1958 International Banking Holidays booklet, 3 small AL written in German, and 1 tiny notecard signed "Happy Xmas / Harry." Near fine collection with usual creasing to letters, light wear and toning to envelopes, and a bit of dampstaining to one of the envelopes. Overall, an excellent and intriguing collection. This collection includes thirteen letters from Dr. Harry Schlüdi, a German nuclear physicist, to his romantic partner, Gerda Ellington. Addressed in Schlüdi's letters as "Mrs.," Gerda may have been divorced or widowed, or perhaps the two were carrying out an affair. The letters trace Schlüdi's arrival at Illinois' Argonne National Laboratory in February of 1958, where he studied at the prestigious International School of Nuclear Science and Engineering, to his departure in June of 1958, at which point he left for San Francisco to aid with the construction of a G.E. Nuclear Plant. In his letters, he repeatedly describes his unhappiness and poor mental state in lines like: "My work - and activity - increased tremendously and I'm again as I had been when you met me the very first time, namely nervous, overworked and always very moody" and "You don't know how I'm suffering. I'm longing for you and for warm climate." Schlüdi also laments that he and Ellington, who lived in Raleigh, NC, cannot see each other for Easter, and sends her a late Valentine's Day card: "I couldn't leave the laboratory the last 3 days - and get a card." In one letter, he waxes poetic about her, writing: "Now I look out of my window. Whole the land is covered with snow. It is bitter cold and the sky is as black as ink. Only the red bulbs of 'Genc Motel' throw a mystic light to the yard and the snow cristalls [sic] are reflecting these light beams directly to my window. Light in the dark. Like your love in my loneliness." While brief, he makes some references to the particulars of his work at Argonne, for example mentioning in his final letter that he worked on the "calculation and design of a 100MWe Heavy Water, pressurized reactor." Argonne National Laboratory, born out of the infamous Manhattan Project, was the first national laboratory established in the United States. Its International School of Nuclear Science and Engineering was established in 1955 as part of the Atoms for Peace program, and offered "unclassified courses in design, construction, and operation of reactors for nuclear research…and other related peacetime applications of nuclear energy." In all, this archive of letters provides remarkable and profound insight into the heart of a high-level nuclear physicist at the dawn of the Atomic Age. . Signed by Author. Near Fine.
