The remarkable story of Mohammed Helmy, the Egyptian doctor who risked his life to save Jewish Berliners from the Nazis. One of the people he saved was a Jewish girl called Anna. This book tells their story. The Israeli holocaust memorial at Yad Vashem has to date honoured more than 25,000 of the courageous non-Jewish men and women who saved Jewish people during the Second World War. But it is a striking fact that under the 'Righteous Among the Nations' listed at Yad Vashem there is only one Arab person: Mohammed Helmy. Helmy was an Egyptian doctor living in Berlin. He spent the entire war there, all the time walking the fine line between accommodation to the Nazi regime and subversion of it. He was also a master of deception, outfoxing the Nazis and risking his own life to save his Jewish colleagues and other Jewish Berliners from Nazi persecution. One of the people he saved was a Jewish girl called Anna. This book tells their story. Also revealed here is a wider understanding of the Arab community in Berlin at the time, many of whom had warm relations with the Jewish community, and some of whom - like Mohammed Helmy - risked their lives to help their Jewish friends when the Nazis rose to power. Mohammed Helmy was the most remarkable individual amongst this brave group, but he was by no means the only one.

viii, 9-280 pp. Octavo. Original pictorial green cloth. Plates (including frontispiece portrait) from photos taken on the journey and illustrations from drawings by Arthur Heming. Folding map of route. A clean very bright copy. AB 18137. A classic overland travel narrative of a Canadian Geological Survey in 1893 sent out to make an exploratory survey of the interior of the Keewatin District. Joseph Burr and brother James William set out from Edmonton travelling via the Athabasca River and Lake Athabasca to Black Lake, travelling north by canoe, they followed the Chipman River to Selwyn and Wholdaia Lakes, then continued down the Dubawnt River to Dubawnt Lake discovering Barlow, Carey and Markham Lakes in the process. They explored the area for a week searching for the outlet of the Dubawnt River, before continuing on through Baker Inlet to Chesterfield Inlet discovering Grant Lake, the mouth of Chamberlain River, Wharton Lake, Aberdeen Lake, and Schultz Lake on the way. On September 13, they left Chesterfield Inlet for home travelling down the west coast of Hudson Bay to Churchill, and from there overland by snowshoe to Winnipeg arriving on January 2, 1894. Interestingly, there doesn't appear to have been a second edition after the first of 1897. Inscribed to McNeill? by the author and date 1913 on the front endpaper. Modern bookplate on pastedown.
