Four independent German works on Jewish subjects bound together. The first title is Das geltende jüdische Minderheitenrecht: mit besonderer Berücksichtigung Osteuropas (The validity of Jewish minority right: with special consideration of Eastern Europe) by Georg Landauer. It is part of the series Quellen und Studien (Sources and Studies) of the Osteuropa-Institut of Breslau. The author, Georg Landauer, (1895–1954), was a Zionist leader, active mainly in aiding the aliyah and absorption of German Jews in Israel. Born in Cologne, Landauer was active in the Zionist youth movement Blau-Weiss and the student Zionist organization Kartell Juedischer Verbindungen. He was a founder of Ha-Po'el ha-Za'ir in Germany. In 1925 he became director of the Berlin Palestine Office and, after two visits to Palestine between 1924 and 1933, settled there in 1934. He became managing director of the Palestine Office and of the Zionist Federation in Germany (1929–33). From 1934 to 1954 Landauer was director of the Jewish Agency Central Bureau for the Settlement of German Jews, in which his main activities were the organization of aliyah, capital transfer, agricultural settlement, Youth Aliyah, and German reparations. He was a founder of Aliyah Hadashah, a party of the Mandate period consisting mainly of German immigrants, and a member of the Va'ad Le'ummi (1941–48). From 1948 until his death he was chairman of Irgun Olei Merkaz Europa. He wrote Zwischen zwei Revolutionen; zionistische Betrachtungen zu Fragen der Uebergangszeit (1942); and a collection of his essays was published in 1957: Der Zionismus im Wandel dreier Jahrzehnte.

The second work is Die fünftägige Arbeitswoche und ihre Problematik (the five day work week and its problems by Dr. Joseph Stern. The subtitle describes it as Teil I Das wirtschaftliche Problem (Part I The economic problem). The third work is Aus der Gedankenwelt des Sabbath: Drei Aufsatze by Rabbiner Dr. Hermann Klein (Three Essays on the concept of Sabbath). The essays are Sabbath als Ruckkehr; Sabbath als Erlosung; and Sabbathwacht. This too is part of a series, no. five, from the Schriftenreihe des weltverbande für Sabbathscutz: Schomre-Shabbos, that is the World Federation for Keeping Shabbat. Next is a series of three untitled publications on Shabbat, a resolution, and bibliography. The volume is completed with Der Lemberger Juden Pogrom (November 1918 – Jänner 1919) by Josef Bendow. It is concerned with the pogroms that broke out in Lvov in November 1918, when the Poles and the Ukrainians fought for control of eastern Galicia. Seventy Jews lost their lives and many were wounded. It was then, when the German, Polish, and Ukrainian nationalistic cultures were in conflict, that the inherent risks of assimilation were made manifest to the Jews. There are appendices and photographs.
