TITLE: A State of Terror: German 1933-1939
DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this catalogue is to describe and analyze how the institutions of the German state were used by the Nazis to identify, persecute and eliminate those individuals and groups they considered undesirable. This process began as soon as they came to power, though the ideological groundwork was laid in the several decades preceding the 1930s. The targeted victims were Jews, Sinti, and Roma (Gypsies), the handicapped, Jehovah’s Witnesses and homosexuals. Cooperating in this effort were all the normal institutions of the state, including the legal and judicial system, the police, the medical profession and institutions, the educational system, the media, local and national governmental officials and their offices.



TITLE: Anatomy of a Ghetto
DESCRIPTION: The Nazi program to murder the Jews of Europe had its basis in the long history of anti-Semitism that was endemic to European culture and German society in particular. The purpose of this catalogue is to analyze and illustrate one major step in that “Final Solution”-the ghettoization and dehumanization of the Jews as a stepping-stone to their ultimate destruction.
