On November 9 and 10, 1938, Nazi leadership unleashed an unprecedented orchestrated wave of violence against Jews in Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland, supposedly in response to the assassination of a Nazi diplomat by a young Polish Jew, but in reality to force the remaining Jews out of the country. During the pogrom, Stormtroopers, Hitler Youth, and ordinary Germans murdered more than a hundred Jews (many more committed suicide) and ransacked and destroyed thousands of Jewish institutions, synagogues, shops, and homes. Thirty thousand Jews were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps. Volume 17 of the Casden Annual Review includes a series of articles presented at an international conference titled "New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years, the Nazi Pogrom in Global Comparison." Assessing events 80 years after the violent anti-Jewish pogrom of 1938, contributors to this volume offer new cutting-edge scholarship on the event and its repercussions. Contributors include scholars from the United States, Germany, Israel, and the United Kingdom who represent a wide variety of disciplines, including history, political science, and Jewish and media studies. Their essays discuss reactions to the pogrom by victims and witnesses inside Nazi Germany as well as by foreign journalists, diplomats, Jewish organizations, and Jewish print media. Several contributors to the volume analyze postwar narratives of and global comparisons to Kristallnacht, with the aim of situating this anti-Jewish pogrom in its historical context, as well as its place in world history.

New Perspectives on Kristallnacht

This source edition on the persecution and murder of the European Jews by Nazi Germany presents in a total of 16 volumes a thematically comprehensive selection of documents on the Holocaust. The work illustrates the contemporary contexts, the dynamics, and the intermediate stages of the political and social processes that led to this unprecedented mass crime. It can be used by teachers, researchers, students, and all other interested parties. The edition comprises authentic testimony by persecutors, victims, and onlookers. These testimonies are furnished with academic annotations and the vast majority of them are published here for the first time in English. Volume 1 documents the persecution of the Jews between 1933 and 1937. The chronologically-arranged written sources reveal how the disenfranchisement and social isolation of the Jews in Germany was driven forward, and which role terror, calculations on the part of the state, and the indifference of very many Germans played.

Mit der Edition zum Mord an den europäischen Juden durch das nationalsozialistisch regierte Deutschland wird erstmals eine umfassende, auf 16 Bände geplante Auswahl von Quellen vorgelegt. Das Werk zeigt die zeitgenössischen Kontexte, die Dynamiken und die Zwischenstufen des politischen und gesellschaftlichen Prozesses, der zu dem beispiellosen Massenverbrechen führte. Es lässt sich als wissenschaftliches Hilfsmittel nutzen oder kann als Schriftdenkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas gelesen werden: von Lehrern, Forschern, Studenten und von allen Interessierten, die sich mit dem Holocaust auseinandersetzen wollen. Die Edition umfasst authentische Zeugnisse der Verfolger und der Opfer. Sie sind wissenschaftlich kommentiert und werden zum weit überwiegenden Teil erstmals veröffentlicht. Band 1 dokumentiert die Judenverfolgung zwischen 1933 und 1937. Die chronologisch angeordneten Schriftzeugnisse lassen sichtbar werden, wie die Entrechtung und soziale Isolation der Juden in Deutschland vorangetrieben wurde, welche Rolle der Terror, das staatliche Kalkül und die Gleichgültigkeit sehr vieler Deutscher spielten. Nach kurzer Zeit war ein Zustand erreicht, wie ihn der Berliner Rabbiner Joachim Prinz 1935 beschrieb: 'Des Juden Los ist: nachbarlos zu sein. Wir würden das alles nicht so schmerzlich empfinden, hätten wir nicht das Gefühl, dass wir einmal Nachbarn besessen haben.'

Between 1935 and 1940, the Nazis incorporated large portions of Europe into the German Reich. The contributors to this volume analyze the evolving anti-Jewish policies in the annexed territories and their impact on the Jewish population, as well as the attitudes and actions of non-Jews, Germans, and indigenous populations. They demonstrate that diverse anti-Jewish policies developed in the different territories, which in turn affected practices in other regions and even influenced Berlin’s decisions. Having these systematic studies together in one volume enables a comparison - based on the most recent research - between anti-Jewish policies in the areas annexed by the Nazi state. The results of this prizewinning book call into question the common assumption that one central plan for persecution extended across Nazi-occupied Europe, shifting the focus onto differing regional German initiatives and illuminating the cooperation of indigenous institutions.
