In Bureaucracy, Work and Violence, the Reich Ministry of Labor is for the first time systematically illuminated as the bureaucratic arm responsible for the implementation of the National Socialist work doctrine.

The Holocaust in Bohemia and Moravia
Czech Initiatives, German Policies, Jewish Responses
Gruner, W.
After the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Czech and German authorities adopted radicalized anti-Jewish policies, including depriving Jews of their property, hauling them into forced labor, and deporting them to concentration camps. In this pioneering study, Wolf Gruner demonstrates that these proceedings were not only controlled by Berlin, but also driven forward by the Czech government and local authorities.

The Indoctrination of the Wehrmacht
Nazi Ideology and the War Crimes of the German Military
Sait, B.
Far from the image of an apolitical, “clean” Wehrmacht that persists in popular memory, German soldiers regularly cooperated with organizations like the SS in the abuse and murder of countless individuals. This in-depth study reveals that military indoctrination was but one piece of the larger effort at the socialization of young men during the Nazi era.

The Anatomy of Murder
Ethical Transgressions and Anatomical Science during the Third Reich
Hildebrandt, S.
Of the many medical specializations to have been transformed by the rise of National Socialism, anatomy has received little attention. As historian and physician Sabine Hildebrandt reveals, anatomists progressed through gradual stages of ethical transgression; in some cases, the traditional model of working with deceased bodies gave way to experimentation with the “future dead.”

A Fatal Balancing Act
The Dilemma of the Reich Association of Jews in Germany, 1939-1945
Meyer, B.
“Beate Meyer has chosen to research a serious subject that is by any standard difficult and painful to confront in an honest way… The book is a careful, detailed study of the Reich Association of Jews in Germany.” · Canadian Journal of History
“[The author] keeps the focus on the individual without ever losing sight of the overall crime. This book…can be considered as an essential contribution to the history of the extermination of the German Jews.” · Bulletin of the Fritz Bauer Institute, Frankfurt
“Beate Meyer succeeds in producing a nearly complete picture of procedures and decisions within the organization. In addition she describes openly but not without empathy the diverse, often narrow perspectives and possibilities of responsible individuals in their respective situation.” · Sehepunkte
