Download or read book Vichy Law and the Holocaust in France written by Richard H. Weisberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The involvement of Vichy France with Nazi Germany's anti-Jewish policy has long been a source of debate and contention. At a time when France, after decades of denial, has finally acknowledged responsibility for its role in the deportation and murder of 75,000 Jews from France during the Holocaust, Richard H. Weisberg here provides us with a comprehensive and devastating account of the French legal system's complicity with its German occupiers during the dark period known as 'Vichy'. As in Germany, the exclusionary laws passed during the Vichy period normalized institutional antisemitism. Anti-Jewish laws entered the legal canon with little resistance, and private lawyers quickly absorbed the discourse of exclusion into the conventional legal framework, expanding the laws beyond their simple intentions, their literal sense, and even their German precedents. Drawing on newly-available archival sources, personal interviews, and historical research, Weisberg reveals how legalized persecution actually operated on a practical level, often exceeding German expectations. Further, he presents a persuasive argument for Vichy law as an acquired Catholic response to a flase notion of Jewish Talmudism. The book also compares Vichy experience to American legal precedents and practices and opens up the possibility that postmodern modes of thinking ironically adopt the complexity of Vichy reasoning to a host of reading and thinking strategies. Vichy Law and the Holocaust in France raises fundamental and disturbing questions about the ease with which democratic legal systems can be subverted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 5, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. Once the Nazis gained power, they lost no time in exploring means of eliminating Jews from the German scene. At times, Nazis encouraged Jews who could afford it to emigrate; at other times, they blocked them. Responding to their plight, the nations represented at an international conference held at Evian-les-Bains in France considered facilitating Jewish emigration from Germany. But the failure of most countries to accept large numbers of penniless Jews prevented them from escaping, and so condemned them to near-certain death. The records reproduced in this volume pertain to the Evian-les-Bains conference, a report on Eichmann's trip to Palestine, emigration of Jews to Palestine and various transfers of Jewish capital out of Germany. Contains 19 documents of source materials, carefully chosen from the thousands preserved at the U.S. National Archives.

Book excerpt: Volume 4, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. One of the characteristics of Nazi Germany was incessant dissemination of anti-Semitic propaganda. It was directed at all levels of the population, but most intensively at the Hitler Youth, the Nazi party and para-military and military organizations. The SS largely recruited the executors of the Holocaust from these groups. Propaganda also prepared the grounds for "Aryanization"-outright or thinly veiled confiscation of Jewish property. The documents selected for this volume include a propaganda pamphlet depicting Jews as world parasites, which was distributed within the German Armed Forces, records of the creation of a Jewish mathematics department in the concentration camp Sachsenhausen, various SS statistics and the "Aryanization" of Jewish property, particularly that of the Rothschild family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 17, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. Much of the most important documentation of the Holocaust was assembled in connection with the postwar prosecution of its perpetrators. The only major United States trial that was devoted entirely to the Holocaust was the Ohlendorf or Einsatzgruppen case. Other cases, tried at Nuernberg, that dealt with important aspects of the Holocaust were the International Military Tribunal and the Brandt and Pohl cases. In the Brandt or "medical case" a number of medical doctors and other SS officers were tried for conducting various experiments on concentration camp inmates, and for the killing of Jews to obtain skeletons for a collection at the University of Strassburg. In the Pohl or "concentration camp case" a group of SS officers was convicted for managing the concentration camps, and for profiteering from inmate labor in SS enterprises. In the Ohlendorf case, a number of commanders and members of Einsatzgruppen stood trial for killing an estimated one million men, women and children in the Soviet Union, mainly Jews.

Book excerpt: Volume 7, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. The St. Louis Affair occurred a few months before the outbreak of World War II. Because of increased Nazi terror larger numbers of Jews had begun to emigrate. The Cuban Director of Immigration had sold many landing permits wholesale to the Hamburg America Line, which resold these permits to individual Jews. A shift in Cuban policies invalidated the permits, but the line failed to inform the passengers. Thus when over 900 passengers arrived on the St. Louis at Havana, they were prevented from disembarking and forced to return to Europe. For the moment, they were saved by the unselfish actions of France, Holland, Belgium and Great Britain, which permitted the emigrants to land in their respective territories. Many of the documents selected for this volume are devoted to the St. Louis Affair. Others deal with similar landing problems, the emigration of 5000 Jewish children and obstacles to Jewish emigration created by the Nazis. Contains 20 documents of source materials, carefully chosen from the thousands preserved at the U.S. National Archives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How American race law provided a blueprint for Nazi Germany Nazism triumphed in Germany during the high era of Jim Crow laws in the United States. Did the American regime of racial oppression in any way inspire the Nazis? The unsettling answer is yes. In Hitler's American Model, James Whitman presents a detailed investigation of the American impact on the notorious Nuremberg Laws, the centerpiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi regime. Contrary to those who have insisted that there was no meaningful connection between American and German racial repression, Whitman demonstrates that the Nazis took a real, sustained, significant, and revealing interest in American race policies. As Whitman shows, the Nuremberg Laws were crafted in an atmosphere of considerable attention to the precedents American race laws had to offer. German praise for American practices, already found in Hitler's Mein Kampf, was continuous throughout the early 1930s, and the most radical Nazi lawyers were eager advocates of the use of American models. But while Jim Crow segregation was one aspect of American law that appealed to Nazi radicals, it was not the most consequential one. Rather, both American citizenship and antimiscegenation laws proved directly relevant to the two principal Nuremberg Laws—the Citizenship Law and the Blood Law. Whitman looks at the ultimate, ugly irony that when Nazis rejected American practices, it was sometimes not because they found them too enlightened, but too harsh. Indelibly linking American race laws to the shaping of Nazi policies in Germany, Hitler's American Model upends understandings of America's influence on racist practices in the wider world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 14, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. As the extermination of the Jews by the Nazis became known in the West, various groups attempted to relieve suffering and rescue Jews. These consisted primarily of a number of Jewish organizations and the War Refugee Board established by President Roosevelt in January 1944. Although the relief arrived too late for most and under the circumstances was not extensive, it aided thousands of Jews. The facsimiles reproduced in this volume pertain to the emigration of the owners of important industrial firms in Hungary in exchange for cession of their holdings to the SS, relief for the persecuted Jews of Transnistria in Rumania, activities of the War Refugee Board and the unsuccessful attempts by Jewish organizations to persuade the War Department to bomb the extermination facilities at Auschwitz and railroad centers leading there from Hungary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 13, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. The depravity of Nazi anti-Semitism is further illustrated by several court cases. In addition to a number of items, such as the denial of a request for exemption from deportation by an eighty-seven year old Jew, the documents reproduced in this volume concentrate on German court cases. Foremost are cases of "racial pollution," as for example, the Katzenberger case in which a Jew was sentenced to death for alleged sexual relations with a gentile girl. Another case that demonstrates the degree to which the Nazi Ministry of Justice made anti-Semitic doctrine part of the judicial system is the "Jewish Mothermilk Case." A Jewish woman sold her milk to a German doctor. He in turn sold the milk to German mothers who could not themselves nurse their babies. When this case came before the court, it convicted the Jewish woman of fraud for misrepresenting her milk as fit for German infants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the earth is flat. Yet there are those who insist that the death of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps is nothing but a hoax perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy. Sixty years ago, such notions were the province of pseudohistorians who argued that Hitler never meant to kill the Jews, and that only a few hundred thousand died in the camps from disease; they also argued that the Allied bombings of Dresden and other cities were worse than any Nazi offense, and that the Germans were the “true victims” of World War II. For years, those who made such claims were dismissed as harmless cranks operating on the lunatic fringe. But as time goes on, they have begun to gain a hearing in respectable arenas, and now, in the first full-scale history of Holocaust denial, Deborah Lipstadt shows how—despite tens of thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence—this irrational idea not only has continued to gain adherents but has become an international movement, with organized chapters, “independent” research centers, and official publications that promote a “revisionist” view of recent history. Lipstadt shows how Holocaust denial thrives in the current atmosphere of value-relativism, and argues that this chilling attack on the factual record not only threatens Jews but undermines the very tenets of objective scholarship that support our faith in historical knowledge. Thus the movement has an unsuspected power to dramatically alter the way that truth and meaning are transmitted from one generation to another.

At a time when France is taking more responsibility for its role in the deportation and murder of 75,000 of its Jewish citizens, Richard Weisberg here provides a comprehensive and devastating account of the French legal system's complicity with Hitler's genocidal campaign during the dark period known as Vichy. As in Germany, the exclusionary laws passed during the Vichy period formalized institutional anti-semitism. In Vichy Law and the Holocaust in France, Weisberg pulls back the curtain on the ways in which the legal community responded to these laws. Private lawyers quickly absorbed the discourse of religious exclusion into the conventional legal framework, expanding the laws beyond their simple intentions, their literal sense, and even their German precedents. Anti-Jewish laws slipped easily and with little resistance into the legal canon and French lawyers often enlisted the laws as a means of career advancement. Examining the work of lawyers and judges, policy makers and administrators, prosecutors and defenders, reporters and academics, Weisberg reveals how legalized persecution actually operated on a practical level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the ethics of nursing and midwifery, and how these were abrogated during the Nazi era. Nurses and midwives actively killed their patients, many of whom were disabled children and infants and patients with mental (and other) illnesses or intellectual disabilities. The book gives the facts as well as theoretical perspectives as a lens through which these crimes can be viewed. It also provides a way to teach this history to nursing and midwifery students, and, for the first time, explains the role of one of the world’s most historically prominent midwifery leaders in the Nazi crimes.
