Predicting the Holocaust : Jewish organizations report from Geneva on the emergence of the "Final Solution," 1939-1942

"Historians long have analyzed the emergence of the "final solution of the Jewish question" primarily on the basis of German documentation, devoting much less attention to wartime Jewish perceptions of the growing threat. Jürgen Matthäus fills this critical gap by showcasing the highly insightful reports compiled during the first half of World War II by two Geneva-based offices: those of Richard Lichtheim representing the Jewish Agency for Palestine and of Gerhart Riegner's World Jewish Congress office." -- Publisher's description "A project of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, under the auspices of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council"--Page iii xiv, 215 pages : black and white illustrations, maps ; 24 cm
