Description		    Catalogue of rare Hebrew book, stolen from Jewish homes by the Bolsheviks, for sale. Polish rabbis forbid Jews from purchasing so as not to entice the Bolsheviks appetite for further theft of books. The ban was so successful that no other catalogs were printed. The initial catalogue consists of 4494 items priced in US dollars, followed by the supplement with 961 items.
