Hardback. 1st edition. Original printed Publisher's linen, 8vo, (5) , 283 pages.

The Philo Atlas is a remarkable record of its time. Issued barely two weeks prior to the outbreak of Kristallnacht (9/10 November, 1938), it appears at first to be nothing but a tourist guide-book. Yet its contents reveal a far more urgent need: An alphabetical survey of countries world-wide with their respective rules for obtaining entry-visas. "These are no tourist formalities, for now survival depends on them. Which countries still accept migrants? How much money do they demand? For which occupations is there a need? Which diseases need one be prepared for? Where to find local organizations who can assist immigrants?" The Jewish-owned Philo Verlag was forcibly closed a month following the publication of this guide, by which time the Nazis decided they were no longer willing to permit Jews to leave Germany - even if they could find a country willing to take them in, which, after the Evian Conference of earlier that summer, was even more unlikely. The Jews who remained in Germany were now trapped. Two copies sold at auction in 2018 for $1125 and $1375 each, with buyers' premiums.
