    Abstract: Incomplete memoir in honor of Nachum Sakiel, written by an unknown author ten years after the liberation of the Warsaw Ghetto. There is a reference to another book by the same author, titled "Vogelfrei im Zwanzigsten Jahrhundert".
    Abstract: Before the war Nachum Sakiel owned an antique store in Warsaw. Through contacts to the Japanese consulate, he obtained Manchurian citizenship and became Manchuria’s official representative in Warsaw. This enabled him and his wife to live legally outside of the ghetto although they were Jewish. They dedicated themselves to the rescue of Jews who had escaped from the ghetto. Nachum Sakiel distributed fake passports and other documents; he hid people and provided them with money. One of those was the author of this memoir, who later became his friend and secretary.

    [August 1914]. (1914-1918)
    Nuernberg, Germany :[publisher not identified], | 1914-1918
    Details
    Language: German
    Pages: handwritten manuscript (photocopies).
    Year of publication: 1914-1918
    Former Title: Diary
    Keywords: Antisemitism. ; War. ; World War, 1914-1918 Jews. ; Germany. ; Autobiographies ; Diaries ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: World War I diary by an unknown author. From an emotional and very personal viewpoint, the diarist expresses a changing philosophy on war and its causes. While at the outbreak of war his stance is a very nationalistic one, he later on declares war to be unacceptable and avoidable, blaming it on the press and on those in power. While he maintains that "the German people are good--they are the victims of their higher-ups", he also states that "war is a syndrome of the sickness in mankind's body". "Animals kill because of need--only man kills because of hatred". In the officialdom of his time, the diarist states, a candidate's religion and piety mattered a great deal. Being anti-Semitic and of arian origin was tantamount to gaining social acceptance. At war's end Germany is left on its knees, but instead of coming together in a common cause, a time of chaos, demoralization and individual selfishness ensued.
