Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial MuseumHistorians long have analyzed the emergence of the final solution of the Jewish question primarily on the basis of German documentation, devoting much less attention to wartime Jewish perceptions of the growing threat. Juergen Matthaeus fills this critical gap by showcasing the highly insightful reports compiled during the first half of World War II by two Geneva-based offices: those of Richard Lichtheim representing the Jewish Agency for Palestine and of Gerhart Riegners World Jewish Congress office. Since the first days of war, Lichtheims predictions of Jewish dead ran in the millions and increased progressively with the rising tide of Nazi rule over Europe. His and Riegners perceptions of German anti-Jewish policy resulted from shared goals and personal experiences as well as from their bureaus range of functions and the massive problems that impacted the gathering and communicating of information on the unfolding Holocaust in German-controlled Europe. Beyond the specifics of the wartime Geneva setting, these sources show how human cognition works in times of extreme crisis and contribute to a better understanding of the potential inherent in Jewish sources for gauging perpetrator actions. The reports and contextual information featured here reflect the first narratives on the Holocaust, their emergence, evolution, and importance for post-war historiography. This profoundly informed volume provides the first in-depth overview of Jewish assessments of the evolving Nazi Judenpolitik in the early years of World War II. Juergen Matthaeus showcases the perceptive reports compiled by two Geneva-based offices, among the first to predict the threat to millions of Jews with the rising tide of Nazi rule in Europe.
