Nazi Propaganda Literature
According to an announcement that appeared in the YIVO newsletter in September 1945, the publications in the original Nazi Collection fell into a number of categories, that is:
Government publications of laws, regulations, and orders;
German bibliographical journals;
Scholarly publications by individuals and institutions dealing with race, war, and German nationalism;
Scholarship and popular literature on the Jewish Question;
Wehrmacht and SS publications intended as indoctrination for the common soldier ("knapsack books") and a great number of publications marked "Nur für den Dienstgebrauch";
Books of a general political character dealing specifically with Germany's need for "space";
Books dealing with race and minority issues (including the Jewish Question) in countries other than Germany;
Anti-Communist literature
Language note
The texts of the collection are primarily in German, with some materials in English, French, and other European languages.
