VAIL, SOL; CURRAN, JOSEPH (FOREWORD); DICKSTEIN, SAMUEL (FOREWORD); PATTERSON, SAMUEL C. — This Is Treason

New York: International Workers Order, Inc. (IWO), 1943. First Edition. Paperback. Illustrated by Wolfe, Phil; Gropper, William. This WWII-era pamphlet is "an attack on anti-Semitism in the U.S. as treasonable, as a propaganda spearhead of Hitlerism. The Nazi formula is to discredit the Jews, identify them with the main objectives under attack, and follow with physical assault. National unity is necessary for victory." - Seidman V-1. "Today anti-Negro and anti-Semitic incitements are powerful weapons being used by the enemy both within and without our country to wreck our plans for victory over the fascist Axis. These incitements against racial and national minorities are an attempt to salvage fascism for a postwar America, further to enslave our people. This work will help to meet this challenge." - Samuel Patterson, National Organizer, IWO. "Sol Vail was editor of Young Fraternalist, a monthly youth magazine published by the IWO in New York." - Wikipedia. 28 stapled pages. William Gropper illustration inside back cover depicts Jews being rifled and machine gunned from atop a wall, perhaps in the Warsaw Ghetto. Clean, bright, tight and unmarked with trivial wear. A particularly well-preserved example. Seidman V-1. ; Publication No. 61; Cover Design; 12mo. Fine .
