The HCNC collection focuses on: Jewish life in Europe before the Holocaust; Nazi rise to power and propaganda; Nazi racial theory, anti-Semitism; anti-Jewish policy and persecution in Germany and occupied countries; flight, emigration and refugee life; Nazi occupation of conquered Europe; deportation and execution of Jewish communities; ghettos and concentration camps (transit, labor and extermination); reaction of world community to events; resistance and partisan activities; liberation; war trials; post-war displaced persons and immigration; Holocaust memorials; and Holocaust denial. The Laszlo N. Tauber Library is a non-circulating library and is not available for interlibrary loan. |
