Bøger af Jurgen Matthaus

This profoundly informed volume provides the first in-depth overview of Jewish assessments of the evolving Nazi Judenpolitik in the early years of World War II. Jurgen Matthaus showcases the perceptive reports compiled by two Geneva-based offices, among the first to predict the threat to millions of Jews with the rising tide of Nazi rule in Europe.

Based on previously inaccessible diary notes written by one of the most prominent Nazis, this important book throws new light on the thoughts and actions of the leading men around Hitler during critical junctures that led to war, genocide, and Nazi Germany's final defeat.

Jewish Responses to Persecution, 1933-1946 offers a new perspective on Holocaust history by presenting documentation that describes the manifestations and meanings of Nazi Germany's "Final Solution" from the Jewish perspective. This first volume, taking us from Hitler's rise to power through the aftermath of Kristallnacht, vividly reveals the increasing devastation and confusion wrought in Jewish communities in and beyond Germany at the time. Numerous period photos, documents, and annotations make this unique series an invaluable research and teaching tool. Co-published with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Jewish Responses to Persecution: 1941-1942, Volume III sheds light on the personal and public lives of Jews during a period when Hitler's triumph in Europe seemed assured, and the mass murder of millions had begun in earnest. The primary source material presented here makes this volume an essential research tool and curriculum companion.
