Ten dramatic hand-colored plates by Menachem Birnbaum. Text in Hebrew with German translation prepared by the artist's brother, Uriel Birnbaum. Uriel Birnbaum (1894-1956) and Menachem Birnbaum (1893-1944) were the sons of Nathan Birnbaum (1864-1937) an early Zionist leader, who later achieved renown as a prominent ideologue of the Agudath Israel movement. Natives of Vienna, both brothers fled the Nazis to Amsterdam. With the Nazi conquest of Holland, Menachem Birnbaum was deported to Auschwitz, where he perished; Uriel managed to survive in hiding.
