This volume documents the persecution of the Jews between 1933 and 1937, revealing how the disenfranchisement and social isolation of Germany’s Jews was driven forward, and which role terror, state calculations and the indifference of many Germans played. Berlin Rabbi Joachim Prinz remarked in 1935: ‘The Jews’ lot is: to be neighbourless. We would not find it all so painful if we did not have the feeling that we once did have neighbours.’
