| Summary: | Until recently, English- and German-language scholarship dealing with annexed western Poland had focused either on the bureaucratic mechanism for resettling Volksdeutschen or on connections between Germanization schemes and the emergence of the “Final Solution.” To fill out this picture, Philip Rutherford concentrates on the anti-Polish aspects of Nazi Volkstumpolitik, specifically in the significant province of Reichsgau Wartheland. Toward this end, he fully exploits the relevant archival sources and the extensive body of scholarship covering both Nazi population programs and the origins of the Holocaust to produce a valuable contribution to the literature. |
