German Reich, 1933 - 1937

This source edition on the persecution and murder of the European Jews by Nazi Germany presents a comprehensive selection of documents on the Holocaust across 16 volumes. The work illustrates the contemporary contexts, dynamics, and intermediate stages of the political and social processes that led to this unprecedented mass crime. It can be used as an academic aid or read as a written monument to the murdered Jews of Europe by teachers, researchers, students, and all other interested parties. The edition comprises authentic testimony from persecutors, victims, and onlookers. These testimonies are accompanied by academic annotations, and the vast majority are published here for the first time in English. Volume 1 documents the persecution of the Jews between 1933 and 1937. The chronologically arranged written sources reveal how the disenfranchisement occurred.
