LBI Jerusalem: Book Launch: The Policy of Persecution And Jewish Life in Nazi Germany: A Selection of Documents 1933-1945

This book offers Hebrew readers a rich selection of documents on the lives of Jews in Nazi Germany, spanning from the rise of the Nazi regime to the outbreak of World War II. The first section, The German Reich 1933–1937, is based on the first volume of the German series Die Verfolgung und Ermordung der europäischen Juden durch das nationalsozialistische Deutschland 1933–1945 (VEJ).

Arranged chronologically, the documents present diverse perspectives on the events: those of Jews living under the Nazi regime in Germany, non-Jewish German society, Jews outside Germany, and international actors. They offer direct insights into the processes of disenfranchisement and exclusion of Jews from German society, as well as the ways in which Jewish individuals and communities coped with the resulting dispossession and social isolation in daily life.
