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. A detailed table of contents lists and provides the source for each document.he volumes in the series are organized topically: PLANNING AND PREPARATION 1.

One of the positive results of the Evian-les-Bains Conference was the establishment of an Intergovernmental Committee on Political Refugees for the purpose of finding ways to increase and facilitate emigration of Jews from Germany and Austria. George Rublee, an official of the U.S. Department of State, headed the committee and conducted negotiations with Nazi government representatives including Hjalmar Schacht, the former Reichsbank president later acquitted of war crimes at Nuernberg. They reached a financial agreement which enabled a larger number of Jews to leave Nazi-controlled countries. Several of the documents selected for this volume deal with the negotiations. Others concern meetings of the Intergovernmental Committee, and depict difficulties that were placed in the way of emigration by Nazi authorities and the immigration regulations of other nations. Contains 18 documents of source materials, carefully chosen from the thousands preserved at the U.S. National Archives.

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: Whitehall and the Jews is the most comprehensive study to date of the British response to the plight of European Jewry under Nazism. It contains the definitive account of immigration controls on the admission of refugee Jews, and reveals the doubts and dissent that lay behind British policy. British self-interest consistently limited humanitarian aid to Jews. Refuge was severely restricted during the Holocaust, and little attempt made to save lives, although individual intervention did prompt some admissions on a purely humanitarian basis. After the war, the British government delayed announcing whether refugees would obtain permanent residence, reflecting the government's aim of avoiding long-term responsibility for large numbers of homeless Jews. The balance of state self-interest against humanitarian concern in refugee policy is an abiding theme of Whitehall and the Jews, one of the most important contributions to the understanding of the Holocaust and Britain yet published.

Book excerpt: Volume 1, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. Following their takeover of political power in Germany in 1933, the Nazis gave high priority to anti-Semitic activities. These ranged from boycotts of Jewish stores to brutalization of Jews in concentration camps. A legal basis for these actions was created by the infamous "Nuernberg Laws" and other discriminatory acts. Through the process of "Aryanization," the Nazis took over Jewish properties at a fraction of their actual value. This volume documents the Nazi methods of eliminating Jews from all important intellectual, economic and political positions in Germany. Contains 21 documents of source materials, carefully chosen from the thousands preserved at the U.S. National Archives.

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: Provides a cutting-edge, nuanced, and multi-disciplinary picture of the Holocaust from local, transnational, continental, and global perspectives Holocaust Studies is a dynamic field that encompasses discussions on human behavior, extremity, and moral action. A diverse range of disciplines – history, philosophy, literature, social psychology, anthropology, geography, amongst others – continue to make important contributions to its scholarship. A Companion to the Holocaust provides exciting commentaries on current and emerging debates and identifies new connections for research. The text incorporates new language, geographies, and approaches to address the precursors of the Holocaust and examine its global consequences. A team of international contributors provides insightful and sophisticated analyses of current trends in Holocaust research that go far beyond common conceptions of the Holocaust’s causes, unfolding and impact. Scholars draw on their original research to interpret current, agenda-setting historical and historiographical debates on the Holocaust. Six broad sections cover wide-ranging topics such as new debates about Nazi perpetrators, arguments about the causes and places of persecution of Jews in Germany and Europe, and Jewish and non-Jewish responses to it, the use of forced labor in the German war economy, representations of the Holocaust witness, and many others. A masterful framing chapter sets the direction and tone of each section’s themes. Comprising over thirty essays, this important addition to Holocaust studies: Offers a remarkable compendium of systematic, comparative, and precise analyses Covers areas and topics not included in any other companion of its type Examines the ongoing cultural, social, and political legacies of the Holocaust Includes discussions on non-European and non-Western geographies, inter-ethnic tensions, and violence A Companion to the Holocaust is an essential resource for students and scholars of European, German, genocide, colonial and Jewish history, as well as those in the general humanities.

Book excerpt: Volume 8, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. By 1944 several million Jews had been deported to the ghettos and extermination camps in the east. Deportation began with the Jews of Stettin and Schneidemuehl in 1940; the last country to lose its Jews was Hungary. This volume concentrates on the deportation of Jews from these areas but includes documentation on the deportation from other cities in Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Norway, Slovakia, Croatia, Rumania, and-to a much lesser degree-Bulgaria. There is some documentation of the deportation of Jews from the Palatinate to Vichy France. Conditions under which deportations were carried out-herding Jews into cattle cars, identifying Jews through compulsory wearing of the Star of David-all are parts of this symphony of death. Contains 43 documents of source materials, carefully chosen from the thousands preserved at the U.S. National Archives. A detailed table of contents lists and provides the source for each document.

Book excerpt: Volume 2, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. Although it fluctuated in intensity, one of the most consistently pursued policies of the Nazi regime in Germany was the persecution of the Jews. The Nazis exhibited a paradoxical penchant for legality and endeavored to legalize the Holocaust by passing many laws placing disabilities and restrictions on Jews. Legalizing the persecutions made the eventual extermination of millions of Jews possible, because it made mass murder less criminal in the eyes of the murderers, and made the Jews more vulnerable. The documents selected for this volume pertain to laws and directives imposing the wearing of the Star of David on German Jews, as well as severe punishment for "racial pollution." Other documents deal with the extension of legalized discrimination to countries newly occupied by the Nazis.

Book excerpt: Volume 3, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. In November 1938, Hershel Grynszpan, a dissident Polish Jew, assassinated the third secretary of the German embassy in Paris, Ernst vom Rath. The Nazis used this event to instigate a huge pogrom, the Reichskristallnacht or Crystal Night Pogrom, resulting in the destruction of synagogues, breaking of windows of Jewish shops (hence the name of the pogrom), arrest and confinement of thousands of Jews in concentration camps, as well as the levy of a fine of one billion marks upon the Jewish community. A discussion of the event by Nazi leaders under the chairmanship of Marshal Hermann Goering began to outline some of the major features of the "Final Solution." Included is documentation on foreign reaction to the pogrom and plans for a show trial of Hershel Grynszpan.
