Before the Holocaust

Antisemitic Violence and the Reaction of German Elites and Institutions during the Nazi Takeover

Beschreibung

As the Nazis staged their takeover in 1933, instances of antisemitic violence began to soar. Hermann Beck examines the types of antisemitic violence experienced in the prelude to the Holocaust, as well as the reactions of the German institutions and elites who still had some capacity to protest these Nazi attacks, but often chose to remain silent.
