196 pp; inscription on frontispiece reads "This Bible was printed on the very presses used by Hitler to denounce our people. It gives us great pleasure to announce that these selfsame presses are now in the service of VAAD HATZALA and are busily engaged in printing Bibles, Talmuds and other holy literature required by the students in the many Yeshivas and Talmud Torahs maintained by the Vaad Hatzala in Germany today."
