Descrizione
Compares and contrasts three collections of documents. The first is a set of slightly under 4,000 documents collected from a large number of German archives as part of a joint German-Israeli project, made available in 2003. The second consists of reports on the persecution of the Jews filed by foreign diplomats stationed in Germany. The third, published in 1980 is composed of reports produced during the Nazi era by the German Social Democratic Party in exile. The antisemitic consensus in German society provided the regime with the room it needed in order to plan and carry out the Final Solution
