Geneva-Prague: 1929. Quarto (27 × 18 cm). Original staple-stitched orange wrappers; 43, [13] pp. With sixteen black-and-white photographs. Rear wrapper soiled; rust to staple; internally very good. A furious appeal to the international community regarding the destruction of Ukrainian schools, cultural organizations, a bookbindery and a union building, supposedly committed by Polish student groups in Lviv on November 1, 1928. Lviv was the center of multi-ethnic Galicia, which was annexed by Poland after the Polish-Ukrainian war. The native Ukrainian population considered itself discriminated against and oppressed, claiming that Polish authorities stifled Ukrainian cultural and political life. The pamphlet contains the Ukrainian students' report on the riot, a translation of a Polish newspaper's view of the events, as well as sixteen photographs showing the destroyed and looted interiors. In English, French, German, Polish and Ukrainian.
