* 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. A detailed table of contents lists and provides the source for each document.
