Paperback. No Date [1945?] 1st edition, original printed paper wrappers. Large 8vo, 130 pages, plus 56 unnumbered pages of photo plates. 27 cm. In German. Title translates as, "Concentration Camps: Factual Report on the Crimes Committed Against Humanity. Document F 321 for the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg." Compiled by Eugène Aroneanu, the creator of the concept of "Crimes Against Humanity under International Law" with the first prosecution under this concept taking place during the Nuremberg trials against defeated leaders of Nazi Germany, as outlined in this work. Includes 17-page list of camps and prisons on pages 113-130, listing the name, location, and type of each camp. This report provides the evidentiary material given to each participant of the Nuremberg Military Tribunal to become acquainted with the evidence to be presented. The report recounts the German crimes against humanity detailing deportation, detention, concentration camps, tortures, medical experimentation, execution, gassing and incineration. It also delineates the web of procedures and complex organizational structure of concentration and extermination camps set up by the Germans during the course of Nazi rule. With an appendix of dozens of unimaginably gruesome photographs. Table of contents (translated): - Foreword - List of witnesses, reports, and documents - The four main Nazi accusations - Deportation (departure / arrival) - Internment (admission / theft / clothing / housing / food / hygiene) - Administration and camp regulations (distinction between prisoners) - Camp life (discipline / customs / religion / everyday scenes / roll call / punishments and torture) - Work (men's work / women's work) - Sanitary conditions (illnesses / medical examinations / hospital accommodation / sick conditions / nursing and treatment of the sick / abortions / childbirths / sterilization of women / sterilization and castration of men / the German medical corps) - Medical experiments and vivisection - Various executions - Repercussions on the prisoners (revolt, escape, suicide) - Extermination (selection in the camp / selection upon arrival / gassing and cremation) - Liberation - Number of deaths (percentage / balance) - Before the war - Appendix - List of the camps, commandos, and prisons used for incarceration - Illustrations Eugène Aroneanu "was a Romanian lawyer, resistance fighter and author of several works on international law. In the mid-1930s, he emigrated to Paris. When World War II broke out in September 1939, he conducted radio broadcasts to Romania. When France was occupied in 1940, he joined the French Resistance, operating underground under the name Aréne. In 1943, he managed to escape to Switzerland . Aroneanu authored 58 publications. In 1945, he was tasked with compiling a documentation of Nazi wartime atrocities for the Nuremberg Trials. He also drafted a corresponding legal plea, intending to expand the prosecution beyond the treatment of the extermination of the Jews as merely a crime against peace and war crimes , as desired primarily by the British, to include the new territory of crimes against humanity under international law" (Wikipedia) SUBJECT(S): World War, 1939-1945 -- Concentration camps.

Softcover. Zustand: g+ to vg+. First editions thus. Small octavos. Nine separate titles of the scarce "First Series" of "The Hogarth Essays". All are housed in a custom-made red 3/4 morocco over red silk clamshell box with gilt lettering on the spine that reads. "The Hogarth Essays. Nineteen Authors. The Hogarth Press. 1924-1926." These are pamphlets ranging in length from 24 to 48 pages, with woodcut covers printed in either black or green on card stock wrappers. Our surmise is that a previous owner had the box made with the intent of acquiring all 19 of the essays, but only succeeded in collecting 9 of them (still, a worthy task awaiting completion). Of these 9 already present, two are of the scarcest and most expensive titles: Theodora Bosanquet's "Henry James at Work"; and Leonard Woolf's, "Fear and Politics, A Debate at the Zoo." All the issues were hand printed by Virginia and Leonard Woolf at The Hogarth Press and are being offered as a group, along with the clamshell box. Clamshell box with some light rubbing to extremities and some staining to the spine. Some of the individual softcovers with some rubbing, stains and/or light age toning to wrappers.

Library stamp to pasted down front free end-paper. Minor bumping to extremities. A nice and clean copy. [Entire volume: pp. 809-1367]. First edition of the first description of Bell System's Traffic Service Position System (TSPS). It was designed by Bell Labs in Columbus, Ohio to replace traditional cord switchboards. Research at Bell Systems was aimed at finding ways to reduce operator labor which at that time was was the largest expenditure when operating a telephone network. "A new cordless operator position was designed to illustrate how this operator service might be implemented. Trials at New York Telephone Co. demonstrated the feasibility of both the customer dialing of the prefix and the efficiency of the new operator's position. After the trial, a development was started to add such positions, by then known as the "Traffic Service Position" [.]. It was an example of the electronic art forcing out the old electromechanical art with many vested interest. The collection of trunks, a ferreed switching network, an SPC, and the positions formed a system called the "Traffic Service Position System". Being the first, it was called the "No. 1 TSPS".

Four pages, 4to, inc. address (p.4), bifolium. IMAGE on application. Addressed on reverse of second leaf, with two postmarks and a manuscript note by forwarding agents the Frères Smitmer of Vienna, to 'Robert Thorp Esqr | Alnwick | Northumberland | For George Thorp's Letters to his family, see Note B. below. Text: He starts by congratulating his brother on his wedding, admitting that sailors are "bad hands at Complements" but expresses pleasure at contact from his sister. He then goes into his activities in Smyrna: We have been paying our respects to the Captain Pacha, the great man in this Empire & brother of the Grand Seignior [sic] his power is unlimited all [?] jurisdiction ceasing on his arrival. [H]e came on board us twice & we got under weigh he expressed himself much pleased with the Ship & look a great deal of [?] alterations made in his own Ship (from ours he smoaked out of a Golden pipe set in diamonds. [H]is ring was a diamond about the size of [O -large ring/nought drawn] not less from its brightness some of the officers concluded it worth 7 or 8 thousand Pounds, the first dress[?] I saw him in was blue velvet set full of various stones his turban a Camels hair [Shall?] the last magnificent part about him[.] His next dress a rich blue velvet covered with diamonds of great value o0o & pearls about the same size again in a yellow satin full of various sized diamonds, I never saw such a Collection of riches in my life[.] I suppose he carried on his [back?] Pistols ring & sabre from 50 to 100 Thousand pounds each time - which I do not expect you to believe till you have seen the Nillions of oppressed wretches who furnish them - if you should in this Country get worth 10000 your head is gone & the Grand Signior or his Officers your heir.' The Pacha has given 'other Ships from 1500 Piastres he presented the Officers with Turkish stuffs my present is a piece of Blue Silk worked with Gold & all the Officers nearly the same. he presented Capt Hood [later Vice-Admiral Sir Samuel Hood (1762-1814)] with a Gold Box set with diamonds a quantity of muslins & various rich things we are not judges of diamonds but all agree the Captain to be worth near a thousand pounds'. The Pacha '[see Note C.] wished to make a Second present to all the Offiers & Crew but the Capt. very properly would not allow it - He is gone with his Fleet to collect the tribute of the Empire.' Notes: A. HMS Aigle "When Captain Hood transferred from the Juno to the bigger frigate HMS Aigle (38 guns) in March 1794 he took with him a contingent of officers and men that included Midshipman Thorp. Corsica: Between April and August 1795, Aigle took part in the blockade of Corsica and the capture of Calvi. Smyrna: Aigle spent six months from May to October 1795 blockading French warships in the Turkish port of Smyrna (now Izmir) a very unpopular operation because of its lack of opportunity for prizes and its unhealthy climate, with frequent outbreaks of the plague; B. "Letters to his family Thorp wrote numerous letters to his parents and siblings throughout his career, except for his time on Thisbe in Nova Scotia during his first year of service and his subsequent time on Magnificent. These were deposited in the National Maritime Museum in 1968 in the form of two letterbooks. Regrettably, no record of persons inspecting these letterbooks seems to have been kept by the National Maritime Museum but anyone studying them in detail who is familiar with the AubreyMaturin series of novels of Patrick O'Brian may find a remarkable coincidence between some of the descriptions in Thorp's letters and events or characters in O'Brian's novels, inviting speculation whether O'Brian may have read the letters and been inspired by their content. Thorp's letters describing the escape from Toulon, the attack on the Mortella Tower and the siege of Saint-Florent, the blockade of Corsica, the capture of Calvi and the cutting out of the Principe Fernando are particularly noteworthy. Dean King's biography "Patrick O'Brian: A Life Revealed" provides support for this hypothesis through many mentions of assistance from Richard Ollard, O'Brian's publishing agent and a recipient of the Caird Medal from the National Maritime Museum, and by the Museum forwarding copies of documents and plans at O'Brian's request" [Wikipedia]HMS Victory. Thorp was transferred to Sir John Jervis' flagship HMS Victory in April 1796, where he was to sit the lieutenants' examination."[Wikipedia]; C.

Note: a. "He also chaired the board of the London-based South Australian Colonisation Commission created by the South Australia Act 1834 to oversee the new colony of South Australia. He also chaired the board of the London-based South Australian Colonisation Commission created by the South Australia Act 1834 to oversee the new colony of South Australia, before the colony went bankrupt and he was sacked in 1841. He was chiefly known for championing the cause for emigration to the new colony, and his name lives on in Adelaide's main river, the Torrens, the suburb of Torrensville and a few other places [Wikipedia]; B. "In 1831, having impressed John Stuart Mill, Robert Torrens and other leading economists with the value of his ideas, Wakefield became involved in various schemes to promote the colonisation of South Australia. He believed that many of the social problems in Britain were caused by overpopulation, and he saw emigration to the colonies as a useful safety valve. He set out to design a colonisation scheme with a workable combination of labourers, artisans and capital. The scheme was to be financed by the sale of land to the capitalists who would thereby support the other classes of emigrants. It took several attempts before the Province of South Australia was established. Although initially, Wakefield was a driving force, he found that as it came closer to fruition, he was allowed less and less influence, until he was frozen out almost completely, whereupon he took offence and severed his connections with the scheme [Wikipedia]."; C. "Wakefield " is considered a key figure in the establishment of the colonies of South Australia and New Zealand" [Wikipedia]. See Image.…
