| Summary: | In this edited volume, Otto Dov Kulka and Eberhard Jäckel have compiled an invaluable source collection documenting the social death and the annihilation of Jews. Seeking to answer the question “What were the attitudes of the German population to the persecution of the Jews under the Nazi regime and what part did they have in it?” (p. ix), the editors present evidence for astonishingly cruel attitudes found within German society throughout the years of the Third Reich. The volume is organized chronologically, allowing the reader to travel the same route that German Jews did once Hitler became chancellor. The contemporaneous reports by regime/Party functionaries provide insight into the Jewish community's experience of ostracism, persecution, and deportation. |
