WIENER LIBRARY Document Series 1655 NUREMBERG DOCUMENTS Donor: Accession Number(s): Date: Extent: 29 Boxes Condition: Access open 1655 NUREMBERG DOCUMENTS, 1930s-1940s INTRODUCTION This collection comprises authenticated copies and translations into English of Nuremberg War Crimes trial documents which specifically pertain to the fate of European Jewry. The collection contains both contemporary documentation (eg correspondence, directives and orders between Nazi authorities) and post war affidavits from witnesses. The material was donated to the library by the Nuremberg War Crimes trial authorities shortly after the trials were completed as quid pro quo for the services which the Wiener Library provided to the prosecutors. Each document has subsequently been given a Wiener Library reference number and the original Nuremberg reference number has been retained. Readers need to consult the finding aids in the reading room to access the collection. INDEX TERMS Nuremberg trials DESCRIPTION Section A: “Racism and Antisemitic Propaganda”.
