Soft cover. Condition: Good. (Collaborators to Fight on Eastern Front) (editor not identified though there are many identified contributors) "Ce que tout Francais doit savoir" (What every French person should know.) 1943. Published by The Légion des Volontaires Français contre le Bolchevisme (LVF), printed by Imp. Mont-Louis, Cl…ermont-Ferrand. Only TWO copies in WorldCat (University of Texas at Austin and BM Lyon. Condition: GOOD (only, a 4 or 5/10). The paper is browning and becoming brittle, but still a fairly nice copy of a scarce (if lamentable) work with an interesting provenance. This was an appeal to the collaborationist French people by the Nazis to volunteer to fight on the Eastern Front against the USSR "Bolsheviks" after the beginning of Barbarosa. Provenance: there are several processing marks on the front cover that I would say were before this amphlet was sent by the IDF to the Library of Congress (in 1947). There is a typed paper label on the spine bottom that reads: "Ouvrage paru en Zone libre, a ne pas communiquer" ("Published in the Free Zone, Not to be Shared.") This is a little confusing as the Free Zone ceased in 1942 though there may have been some lag tim between that and the actual release date of this pamphlet. Anyway I'm not sure but it does apparently make for an interesting provenance. Note: The Légion des Volontaires Français contre le Bolchevisme (LVF) ("Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism") was a collaborationist military unit formed in July 1941, shortly after Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The LVF was composed of French volunteers who agreed to fight alongside the German army against the USSR. Although France was occupied and the Vichy government officially maintained a degree of neutrality toward the Eastern Front, the LVF was encouraged by collaborationist politicians and organizations in occupied France.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. SIMON, M. (Only TWO copies in WorldCat, British Library and London School of Economics). Le Pillage de la France, Methodes Allemandes. **Nazi Control of France in 1943** (HOLOCAUST) SIMON, M. Le Pillage de la France, Methodes Allemandes. Societe des Editions de la France Libre, printed in London (194…3). 8"x5", 20pp. Provenance: Pamphlet Collection, Library of Congress. Original wrappers. VG copy. [++] The "pillage" from the title as of 1942 refers mainly to the "mainmise economique" of France and what the "armistice spoilateur" meant for the economic and cultural condition of France. The author, M(arc) Simon (for whom I've found descriptions as being a jurist and "resistant") outlines the dire state of affairs at the end of 1942, writing on the control of the banks and business, freedom of movement, and descriptions of the Vichy government. I found the 4-page section "Les Lois Raciales prelude de la mainmise economique" ("economic control")" to be of particular interest, as the section is basically a history of the disappearance of the rights of Jews in France and so-called "Free France"/Vichy from 1940-1942, following the implementation of the various ordinances of the Nuremberg laws, which were "given legal force for all of France,introducing racism to the country by the Vichy government". [++] The first ordinance defines who and how someone is Jewish, and what constitutes a Jewish company or business. "The two ordinances [1st and 2nd], the provisions of which we have just summarized, therefore had as their object the census of French people of Israelite origin and of the businesses belonging to them. By retroactively canceling all measures taken by the legitimate owners to protect themselves against the expropriation of which they were clearly threatened since the entry of German troops into France, the German authorities froze Jewish property, which thus became easy prey. to seize for the Germans or the French whom the German administration judged useful to replace them, the Vichy government had taken, by the law of 3 October 1940, measures similar to the German provisions which introduced racial legislation for the so-called free zone." [++] And then a further tightening of the noose: "The third German ordinance on the matter is dated April 26, 1941. It gives a new definition of the quality of Jew which considerably widens the circle of persons to whom anti-Jewish legislation applies. It prohibits Jews from exercising a large number of commercial and industrial professions, and it forbids Aryan companies from employing, as senior employees, French citizens considered to be Jews within the meaning of German ordinances." [++] The fifth ordinance of 3 March 1941 initiates the liquidation of all Jewish property as prescribed by law ("de la liquidation des biens juifs, prescrite par la loi"). Simon writes: "the plan to enslave France and integrate the French economy into the general framework of German Europe. The elimination of Jews from French economic life is already a fait accompli. Their complete replacement by Germans or French, acting on behalf of Germany, can only be a matter of time." [++] The 6th ordinance (7 Feb 1942) puts a curfew in place for Jews between 8pm and 6am, while the 7th ordinance expands the definition of who is a "Jew". [++] The 8th ordinance, 29 May 1942, requires that the "Jewish star" be worn by all Jews, who had to report to police stations for their three stars and handing in a "textile card" in return. [++] By the end of the pamphlet we are presented with a thoroughly-controlled France, with Germans prescribing central controls for various businesses and banks, assuming insurance policies, and dictating the movement of cultural artifacts, with basically all artwork worth 100k francs to be reported and with bans on their sale. Of course the Jews by the end of 1942 have become thoroughly controlled, enumerated, and have lost nearly everything, and are now forced to wear the Star of David.

[++] WorldCat locates only two paper copies (USC and Duke). VG Rare. "A thesis presented t the faculty of the school of government, University of Southern California, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Public Administration." [++] This is a rare computer science work applying the punch card tabulator (a Hollerith device) to sorting and calculating crime, criminal type, and etc., according to Atcherley's newly-adopted Modus Operandi approach to crime detection and prevention. What makes this item particularly interesting is that the LAPD had only just in the past few years prior to the publication of this work used Hollerith machines in police work. For the rest of the country the application of computers to police work and police departments really didn't begin to flourish until the early 1960s. [++] I can tell you straight-off that at first glance this work did not seem all that interesting however, when I flipped from back-to-front and saw the first of three punch hole cards my perspective changed entirely. [++] Part of the story here is that this paper is one of those that may well have helped frame a very early foundational change in policing using the power of the computer and a very early algorithmic-type approach to exploiting the modus operandi features of crime detection. As it is, this work is quite a tour de force of the existing elements of computer-based criminology in the 1930s.[++] Also, as an aside, the social history of the listing and classification of jobs, offenses, people, and so on are really extraordinary in themselves. For example, very few of the occupations classified in this work have existed in quite some time. Also the outlines for classification of human characteristics can be pretty deflating and sad.ditto the types of stores that are robbed/burglarized. [Some of the crystalline examples of times-gone by (though only by 80-odd years include the hard-to-imagine bootlegger, checker, barfly, chorus girl, clairvoyant, cowboy-cowpuncher [sic], floorwalker, fortune teller, pinsetter, watchman, magazine agent, sewing machine agent, copyist, bathhouse keeper, barker, capitalist (!), bootblack, baggage man, swamper, mine owner, buttermaker, diver (sea), bill poster, tent maker, vulcanizer, pressman, and so on.you get the picture. There are several hundred of these classifications.].

The chairman of the TUCGWGB, Hans Gottfurcht, had for many years been an active trade unionist in Germany, where he helped establish a number of illegal trade unions under the Nazis. The establishment of the TUCGWGB was regarded as necessary because of the particular situation brought about by the large influx of refugees and exiles. Whereas it would normally have been expected for these new arrivals to join existing British trade unions (which they did as well), there was always a sense that their stay in Great Britain would only ever be temporary, and that they needed a representative organisation that would reflect their particular interests. After the war and the demise of the TUCGWGB, Hans Gottfurcht went on to become a pivotal figure as liaison between the newly formed Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund and the occupying British authorities."--the Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide.
