b'(continued)The collection includes: Court documents ordering the conscation of Jewish property, an auction-catalogue of valuables seized from Jews, Gestapo records of connement and deaths in custody, military orders, Nazi occupation-zone law codes, inmate work and transit permits, identication papers of Jewish prisoners, outgoing correspondence from concentration camp inmates from many camps, including Auschwitz, Treblinka and Buchenwald (as well as those that were undelivered due to censorship), paperwork from Jundenrats in such ghettos as Lodz and Theresienstadt, medical papers, Nazi books and periodicals and much more. The documents pertain to individuals and particular situations as the Nazis meticulously documented every Jew under their control and left in writing the countless ways in which they were deprived of dignity, liberty, and ultimately, life:* A document from Birkenau details how many prisoners were lost or died on a certain day (#251). * A permit for a Dr. Frida Rosenthal to treat only Jews (#289). - Items like these (as well as vaccination certicates [#467]) are surprising considering what was to be the ultimate fate of most Jews, yet there were thousands of prosaic, bureaucratic acts that underpinned the genocide. * While the Jews were herded into ghettos, taxes were collected from them by the Judenrat (#300). All manner of discriminatory measures are represented in this collection, some as trivial in the larger context of Nazi genocide as an order in Prague forbidding Jews from owning pets under threat of severe punishment (#396). * A Jew in the Netherlands was informed by postcard that he could no longer own a telephone (#565). * Viennese income tax papers with instructions as to who is to be considered a Jew according to the Nuremberg Laws (#239). The cruelties are limitless: * A document from Lodz concerns the death of two Jews, whose families were required to pay for the burial (#74). * Court documents that establish Jewish ancestry, followed by incarceration in a concentration camp (#80). * A work pass from the Riga Ghetto, without which a Jewish prisoner was sent to a death camp (#167). Etc., etc. ONLY A SMALL FRACTION OF THIS SIGNIFICANT COLLECTION HAS BEEN HERE DESCRIBED. IF OFFERED INDIVIDUALLY, HUNDREDS OF THESE ITEMS WOULD BE WORTHY OF SINGULAR ATTENTION. KEPT TOGETHER, AN EXTENSIVE, NEW SCHOLARSHIP MAY BE DERIVED FROM THIS IMPORTANT MATERIAL.48'
