Text Box: The Personal Navigator Antique Books, Maps, Papers &c. Text Box: Child Victims of the New Germany: A Protest by Bonham-Carter, Lady Violet. 1934 London, England: McCorquodale & Co. Ltd. Lady Violet Bonham-Carter (1887-1969) was one of the few women in her time to take a leading role in speaking for the British Liberal party, and was one of the first to call the world's attention to the dangers of Nazi Germany and Fascism. She was the daughter of Prime Minister Asquith, and a good friend of Winston Churchill. This pamphlet is based upon a speech she gave in December, 1933, in which she calls attention to German mistreatment of Jewish children. She tells of a young boy of 13, ridiculed in class and called a "Marxist bastard" by his teacher, shunned by classmates, made to draw only swastikas, made to shout "Heil Hitler" over and over, and given bad marks in class "for Jewish slovenliness." The pamphlet includes an appendix, "A Dossier of Cruelties and Humiliations" of Jewish children in Germany. One story, "No Milk for Little Jewesses" tells how girls in class line up for a cup of milk and a piece of bread. When a Jewish girl comes for her milk, the headmistress says, "No milk for little Jewesses! Next, please." Children are taught a marching song which includes the words, "when Jewish blood spurts from the knife". 8 pp. 13.8 x 21.4 cm. Pamphlet, very good. (7812) $45.00.

"While not killing a single Jew, they make it impossible for Jews to live, and it is largely they that have caused the large number of suicides amongst the German Jewry." Justice Denied. Maltreatment of Jews. Organized persecution, from top to bottom, with chief organizer and inspirer the German Chancellor, Adolf Hitler. Effects on German society as Jewish contributors to arts, music, science-- produces a paradox.
