Dokumente zur Geschichte des deutschen Zionismus 1933-1941

Zusatztext

This volume contains the most important archival sources that deal with German Zionism, and the work of the Zionist movement in the time between Hitler's seizure of power in 1933 and the year 1941 when the National Socialist state's policy shifted to the total physical annihilation of the Jewish people. The documents reflect the development of the anti-Jewish policies of the Nazi regime and the increasing problems Jews and Jewish communities had in fleeing their persecutors. At the same time, the texts reveal the growing importance of Zionism for German Jews, and their response to the National Socialist environment.
