* Volume 18, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. The United States tried nearly 200 war crimes suspects at Nuernberg in twelve separate proceedings. The defendants were grouped either by type of crime or by organization. The last of these cases to be tried was the "Ministries" or von Weizsaecker Case, in which a United States Military tribunal convicted a number of individuals of various offenses, including crimes related to the Holocaust. These included participation in the planning and carrying out of the exterminations as well as complicity of Foreign Ministry officials in the deportation of Jews from Nazi-controlled areas, and the cooperation of Finance Ministry and bank officials in the conversion to foreign exchange of concentration camp loot, such as dental gold. Other records reproduced in this volume originated in the Ohlendorf Case, and complete the documentation begun in the previous volume of the series, concerning the murder of a million Soviet Jews. Contains 11 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.
