Heinz Liepmann (1905-1966)

WO II Forbidden book 1933 | Das Vaterland. Ein Tatsachen Roman aus dem heutigen Deutschland, P.N. van Kampen Amsterdam 1933, 295 pp. Text in German. With original dustwrapper and the rare promotional belly band. One of the earliest German-language exile novels and one of the first literary eyewitness accounts of Nazi Germany, published in Amsterdam only months after Hitler’s rise to power. Heinz Liepman’s documentary novel describes (in 1933 !) the rapid transformation of Hamburg through political terror, antisemitism, SA violence and the establishment of the first concentration camps. Original linen hardcover binding with some water damage, especially on and near the spine. 19,5 x 12 cm. With original dustwrapper with its striking barbed-wire motif and swastika. Dustwrpapper with damages, and some missing paper. With the rare publisher’s promotional book band (buikbandje): Ein tatsachenroman aus dem heutigen Deutschland. Fúr die Wahrheit aller Mitteilungen des Buches, der entsetzlichsten und menschliche ungeheuerlichsten Geschehnisse steht Heinz Leipmann mit seiner Person ein. And in red printed letters in handwritten style: Den in Hitler Deutschland ermordeten Juden gewidmet. Dedicated to the Jews murdered in Hitler’s Germany. This wording is remarkable because the novel was published as early as 1933 and thus provided exceptionally early testimony to the deadly nature of the National Socialist persecution of the Jews.
