Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. In Hebrew. 302 pages. 245 x 172 mm. Elias Auerbach (the brother of Israel Auerbach (the husband of Bertha Datnowsky) was born in 1882 in Ritschenwalde, in the former Prussian province of Posen (today Ryczywol in Poland) and in 1890 his family moved to Berlin, where he attended school and studied medicine (1905, with final thesis). He was a physician and a Bible scholar and author. He was active in the Zionist movement, was a member of the Jüdische Humanitätsgesellschaft, of the Bar Kochba Athletic Association. He participated in the Zionist congresses of 1903, 1905 and 1907. He immigrated to Eretz Israel, then part of the Ottoman Empire, in late 1909 and he founded the first modern hospital in Haifa. There his name was Hebraicized to "Or" (his eldest son was named Daniel Or). He claimed to have been the first German Zionist to settle in the land of Israel out of personal motivation (two men had gone to Palestine because of their work in administrative posts, one for the World Zionist Organization, and the other for the Jewish Colonization Association) See Zionism in Germany 1897-1933, by Stephen Poppel). Elias Auerbach was one of the founders of a Jewish Athletic Association in Palestine. In 1914, during WWI, he returned to Germany with his family to serve as a military doctor. According to Amos Elon ("The Pity of it All"), Elias Auerbach decided to return to Germany to "do his duty" in the German army medical corps at the outbreak of WW1. He wrote in the Jüdische Rundschau: "We came back joyfully. It was not only our duty, it was mostly love for the country of our birth." But according to his grand-nephew Dr. Gilad Rosenberg, this quote is actually misleading, since in his journal Auerbach wrote that he didn't enlist but was drafted into the German army, like all German citizens from Palestine - Christians (Templars) and Jews. In October 1919 his wife Rachel died in Wronke (now Wronki in Poland) of the Spanish flu, and in 1920 he and his two children returned to Haifa, where he founded the first Jewish hospital in 1925. Between 1930 and 1933, Auerbach was again in Berlin because of an illness of his second wife. During this time he taught Bible studies at the College of Jewish Studies. Auerbach published numerous books and essays on Jewish culture and history. He is known especially for his contributions to Jewish biblical scholarship. His two-volume magnum opus "Wilderness and Promised Land" appeared in 1936. From 1950 he lectured on biblical subjects and the history of Israel at various European universities. On the occasion of his 70th birthday, a volume of essays was published in his honor by the Hevrah le-Heker ha-Mikra be-Yisrael, "Sefer Auerbach", ed. by A. Biram (1955). In 1969, "Pionier der Verwirklichung", the first part of his autobiography covering his life up to 1918, was published. He died two years later, in 1971 in Israel.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. In Hebrew. 225 pages. 18 x 10.5 cm. Hanoch Helfgott (Bartov) was born in Petah Tikva in 1926, a year after his parents immigrated from Poland. He attended a religious school and then the Ahad Haam gymnasium. After working in diamond polishing and welding for two years, he enlisted in 1943, at the age of 17, in the Palestine Regiment of the British Army. He spent three years in the Jewish Brigade, first in Palestine and then in Italy and the Netherlands, where he served as a medic, caring for Holocaust survivors in DP camps. After World War II, Bartov studied Jewish and general history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. During the War of Independence he served in field army units and the Israel Defense Forces in Jerusalem. He lived for four years on Kibbutz Ein Hahoresh, working as a farmhand and a teacher. From 1966 to 1968, Bartov served as a cultural advisor in the Israeli embassy in London. Bartov published his first story in 1945, when he was a 19-year-old soldier in Europe. In his writing, as a journalist and novelist, Bartov describes his first contacts with survivors of the Holocaust. The Brigade is a fictionalized account of the operation of the Jewish Brigade. Derived from a Kirkus review: Israeli author Bartov has written a novel of some humor and considerable honesty that probes and affirms the meaning of honor. In a tranquil field in early May, on the northeast slopes of the Apennines, Elisha Kruk, nineteen, of a religious home in Israel, learns that the war has ended. But for the Jewish Brigade of the British Army, with whom he serves and who have yet to engage the enemy, the war is not over. They are sent to Germany, where an incident - near murder and rape of two women by two members of the Brigade, determine their choice. The patient Tamari reminds the men that they are there to save as many survivors as possible. Giladi wants blood for blood. Elisha, fighting his own battle against the purity and ultimately rejects the vengeance for which he came.The Jewish Infantry Brigade Group, more commonly known as the Jewish Brigade Group or Jewish Brigade, was a military formation of the British Army composed of Jews from the Yishuv in Mandatory Palestine commanded by British-Jewish officers that served in Europe during World War II. The brigade was formed in late 1944, and its personnel fought the Germans in Italy. After the war, some of them assisted Holocaust survivors to emigrate illegally to Mandatory Palestine as part of Aliyah Bet. On July 3, 1944, the British government consented to the establishment of a Jewish Brigade with hand-picked Jewish and also non-Jewish senior officers. On 20 September 1944 an official communique by the War Office announced the formation of the Jewish Brigade Group of the British Army and the Jewish Brigade Group headquarters was established in Egypt at the end of September 1944 (the formation was styled a brigade group because of the inclusion under command of an artillery regiment). The Zionist flag was officially approved as its standard. It included more than 5,000 Jewish volunteers from Mandatory Palestine organized into three infantry battalions of the Palestine Regiment and several supporting units. Overall, in the course of World War II, the Jewish Brigade's casualties were 83 killed in action or died of wounds and 200 wounded. Another 78 of the brigade's soldiers were mentioned in dispatches, and 20 received military decorations (7 Military Medals, 7 Order of the British Empire medals, 4 Military Crosses, and 2 US awards).
