Abstract

This Recorrd Group contains publications related to the postwar investigation of the German-Nazi crimes in German-occupied and controlled territories

Scope and Contents of the Materials

The record group includes scholarly and general works, as well as commemorative publications written and compiled after the Holocaust by individual authors, survivors' organizations, and public institutions. The authors of these publications had either experienced the Nazi genocide directly as prisoners or fought in the Resistance. These works primarily reflect the regional history of the Holocaust in Europe. This record group also contains collections of photo-documents, namely of twenty-years after liberation, the Jewish resistance, and the memorialization of the Holocaust; and post-Holocaust art--sketches, watercolors, oil on paper and cancas, and reproductions; and camp and ghetto artworks. Some materials are digitized.

Collection Historical Note

In this record group, the group of publications on the regional histories of the Holocaust differs from the modern scholarship. Largely, it stems from two major sources, namely the materials of Special Commissions investigating the Nazi crimes in the occupied territories and written and oral testimonies of former prisoners of Nazi camps and ghettos. The former Nazi prisoners were not officially defined as survivors of the Holocaust in the postwar time. The authors, often historians by profession, published their works in Poland and in the United States, where a number of them eventually immigrated. Also in this recordg group is postwar research on the Holocaust, which covers the period of German occupation of the major Polish cities, ghetto uprisings and a number of Nazi concentration camps, mainly in Poland.
