Each letter can be finessed by a + or - giving 12 possible levels. The judgement will be subjective, of course, but based on decades of experience. F = Fine or nearly new // VG = very good // G = showing acceptable signs of wear. P = Poor, structural damage (loose covers, torn pages, heavy marginalia etc.) but still providing much of interest. AN = Algebraic Notation in which, from White’s point of view, columns are called a – h and ranks are numbered 1-8 (as opposed to the old descriptive system). Figurine, in which piece names are replaced by pictograms, is now almost universal in modern books as it overcomes the language problem. In this case AN may be assumed. pp = number of pages in the book.// ed = edition // insc = inscription – e.g. a previous owner’s name on the front endpaper. o/w = otherwise. dw = Dust wrapper It may be assumed that any book published in Russia will be in the Russian language, (Cyrillic) or an Argentinian book will be in Spanish etc. Anything contrary to that will be mentioned. PB = paperback. SB = softback i.e. a flexible cover that cannot be torn easily.

Flower Design Mammoth Ivory Set which I am taking offers on In 1835, Nathaniel Cooke designed new chessmen dedicated to one of the strongest chess players of the day: Howard Staunton. Today, Oleg Raikis, a famous Russian sculptor, continues this tradition. "Chess of the 21st Century", inspired by the balance and simplicity of the Staunton design, is dedicated to today's strongest chess players: Former World Champion Garry Kasparov, World Champion Vladimir Kramnik, and Women's World Champion Xie Jun.

    Archbishop to Dedicate New St. John’s on Dec. 2 Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations Third Major Church Dedication in Year Contents Copyright by the Catholic Press Society, Inc., 1953—Permission to Reproduce, Except on Articles Otherwise Marked, Given After 12 M. Friday' Following Issue When Archbishop Urban J. Vehr dedicates the new St. John the Evangelist’s Church Wednes­ day, Dec. 2, it will be the third major church on principal Denver thoroughfares that' he has blessed in a little more than a year. DENVER CATHaiC The ceremonies at St. John’s will begin at 10:30, and will be followed immediately by a Sol­ emn Mass to be offered in the presence of the Arch­ bishop by the ^t. Eev. Monsignor John P. Moran, pastor. REGISTER The two other major Denver churches dedi­ cated in the past year are St. Catherine of Siena’s, fronting on North Federal Boule­ vard at 42nd Avenue,, dedicated on Thanksgiving day, Nov. 27, 1952; and St. Vincent de Paul’s, facing S. University Boulevard at E. Arizona Avenue, which was dedicated Feb. 11, 1953. The new St. John's faces beautiful East Seventh Avenue Parkway at Eliza­ beth Street. The three new edifices give Denver an array of magnificent Catholic churches of which it may well be proud, and which are un­ excelled by any city of comparable size in the nation. John K. Monroe of Denver was architect for the new building, which was erected by the F. J. New St. John’s Is Handsome Addition on Seventh Avenue Parkway Kirchhof Construction Co.

  • Saul Sorrin: Oral History Transcript
    Saul Sorrin: Oral History Transcript www.wisconsinhistory.org/HolocaustSurvivors/Sorrin.asp Name: Saul Sorrin (1919–1995) Birth Place: New York City Arrived in Wisconsin: 1962, Milwaukee Project Name: Oral Histories: Wisconsin Survivors Saul Sorrin of the Holocaust Biography: Saul Sorrin was an American witness to the Holocaust. He aided survivors at displaced persons camps in Germany as an administrator from 1945 to 1950. Saul was born on July 6, 1919, in New York City, where he attended the City College of New York. In 1940, he applied for a position with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). At the end of 1945, Saul was sent to Neu Freimann Siedlung, a displaced persons camp near Munich, Germany, to help Holocaust survivors. In 1946, he hosted General Dwight D. Eisenhower on an inspection tour of Neu Freimann. At Eisenhower's recommendation, Saul was appointed permanent area director at the Wolf- Ratshausen camp in Bad Kissingen. He served there until March 1950. Saul became deeply committed to the survivors he was helping. He ignored many illegal actions, violated countless rules and regulations, and helped refugees alter their documents to sidestep a variety of restrictions. Saul also aided those who wanted to immigrate illegally to countries with quotas. He even permitted refugees to hold secret military training for the newly formed state of Israel. Saul helped set up cultural institutions in the displaced persons camps he supervised. He began schools and synagogues and organized sporting events and entertainment. He was also able to bring in famous performers. After the war, Saul returned to the U.S.
