Holocaust and Rebirth. Bergen-Belsen 1945-1965. Foreword by Dr. Jacob Robinson. Introduction by Josef Rosensaft. Edited by Sam E. Bloch. New York and Tel Aviv: Bergen-Belsen Memorial Press of the World Federation of Bergen-Belsen Associations, 1965. 4to (303 x 225mm). Half tone illustrations, text in Yiddish, Hebrew and English. Original dark green leatherette lettered in gilt, gilt edges, slipcase. Provenance: Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon (modern armorial bookplate loosely-inserted). FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed in blue ink on a leaf of parchment inserted at the front, "To the Rt. Hon. Earl of Avon, K.G., M.C. [i.e. Anthony Eden]. Respectfully Josef Rosensaft. London, September 6, 1965." On this date, Anthony Eden had been the guest of honour at a dinner given in London by Josef and Hadassah Rosensaft on behalf of the World Union of Belsen Survivors to mark the twentieth anniversary of the liberation of the camp by British troops. The book was almost certainly presented to him at this event. Its contents require no comment.
