Die Judenpolitik Des Sd 1935 Bis 1938: Eine Dokumentation (schriftenreihe Der Vierteljahrshefte Fur Zeitgeschichte) (german Edition)

Die Dokumentation erhellt ein bisher unbekanntes Kapitel der nationalsozialistischen Judenverfolgung vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Sie zeigt, wie sich innerhalb des Sicherheitsdienstes der SS jene "Mentalität des Genozids" herausbildete, die in den Mord an den europäischen Juden mündete. Neue Aktenfunde aus Moskauer Archiven geben Aufschluss über die Entwicklung und Tätigkeit des Judenreferats des Sicherheitsdienstes in den Jahren von den Nürnberger Gesetzen bis zum Novemberprogrom 1938. A collection of documents of the Jewish section of the SD, most of them newly accessible in the Moscow Special Archives, including memoranda and directives on policy, and evaluation of developments in the Jewish community and the effect of anti-Jewish measures. Many of these were written by Eichmann, Wisliceny, Dannecker, and others, who later became notorious for their roles in the Holocaust. The introduction (pp. 9-64) states that, from the beginning, the SD's Jewish policy was directed at emigration, with a single-mindedness that often put it at odds with other centers of power. This was to be achieved by laws and regulations making life in Germany impossible for Jews, and by encouraging Zionist and prohibiting assimilationist organizations. The Section established the Central Office for Jewish Emigration in Vienna, and later in Berlin and Prague. Its men became the acknowledged experts for the "Jewish question" and the perpetrators of its Final Solution.
