Holocaust: The Documentary Evidence |
|
|
Once in power the Nazis attempted to build a new social order in Europe--a society based on race and created through military force, mass murder, and mass slavery. NARA has preserved thousands of captured documents of their effort. This catalog offers a small but important selection of these records, focusing primarily on Hitler's "final solution to the Jewish question." The introduction outlines the immediate historical context of the documents and discusses World War II, Nazi ideology, and the racial war against the Jews and other non-Aryans. 8-1/2" x 11" |
