Conating Jews with every international enemy of Germany, real or imagined, the Hitlerian regime beat the spirit and choked the life of the Jews under their aegis, rst in Germany, where the Jews were a small and law-abiding minority, and then in each land it conquered or annexed: Austria, Poland, the Netherlands, Poland, and so on. The Germans did all of this in the open, not by violating the law - but by changing the law and then implementing such laws in waves of unrelenting persecution that left the Jews overwhelmed and powerless.The documents and papers in this enormous lot provide a panoramic view of the Nazi persecution and genocide of the Jews. Many forms of Nazi persecution are represented: Degrading broadsides agitating against the Jews in multiple languages, letters received by dismayed Jewish business owners informing them of the cancellation of insurance policies, expulsions from professional societies, court-ordered name changes meant to separate Jews from mainstream society and violate the Jews personal autonomy to dene themselves as they see t (every Jewish man had to take on the name Israel and every Jewish woman had to take on the name Sara.) There are here scores of identication papers, many bearing the distressed visages of Jews with upended lives. (see next page)47'
