      A New Forum for International Holocaust Research, European Holocaust Studies (EHS) publishes significant international research on the murder of European Jews and its broader contexts. This English-language yearbook aims to enhance visibility for research contributions from various countries and institutions while promoting international scholarly exchange, particularly among North America, Europe, and Israel. Each thematic issue features peer-reviewed articles offering fresh perspectives on the main topic, alongside discussions of key documents and descriptions of related research projects. Additionally, it includes a literature review or essay addressing historiographical debates. Featured articles include Frank Bajohr's examination of German antisemitism's influence in Europe, Dieter Pohl's analysis of right-wing politics and antisemitism in Europe from 1935 to 1940, Ferenc Laczó's exploration of the radicalization of Hungarian antisemitism until 1941, and Susanne Heim's insights into the international reactions to the forced emigration of German Jews in 1938. Grzegorz Krzywiec also contributes with a study on Polish political antisemitism amid national and economic crises in the 1930s.

      'Aryanisation' in Hamburg

      The Economic Exclusion of Jews and the Confiscation of their Property in Nazi Germany

      • 356 pages

      Focusing on the involvement of non-Jewish Germans during the Nazi regime, this study reveals how "ordinary Germans" participated in the systematic exclusion of Jews from economic life in Hamburg. It highlights the shift from societal antisemitism to opportunistic greed, as many betrayed their former co-citizens for personal gain. By examining this lesser-known aspect of history, the book provides critical insights into the motivations behind the actions of ordinary individuals during one of Europe's darkest periods.
