Nazi Germany and the Jews: Volume 1: The Years of Persecution 1933-1939

Author: Saul Friedlander

Friedlander restores the voices of Jews, who after the 1933 Nazi accession to power were engulfed in an increasingly horrifying reality. We hear from the persecutors themselves: the leaders of the Nazi party, the members of the Protestant and Catholic hierarchies, the university elites, and the heads of the business community. Most telling of all, perhaps, are the testimonies of ordinary German citizens, who in the main acquiesced to increasing waves of dismissals, segregation, humiliation, impoverishment, expulsion, and violence.
