Description
Brings together a broad range of documents - including diaries, letters, speeches, newspaper articles, reports, Jewish identity cards, and personal photographs - from Jews in Nazi-dominated Europe and beyond Europe's borders. The volume illuminates the daily lives of a diverse range of Jews who suffered under Nazism, their coping strategies, and their efforts to assess the implications for the present and future of the persecution they faced during this period. Volume II begins with Kristallnacht in 1938 and continues through the Jewish flight out of Germany, the onset of World War II, the forced relocation of the Jews of Europe to the East, and the formation of Jewish ghettos, particularly in Poland.
