Ex-Libris. - Reichskristallnacht : Die Novemberpogrome 1938 im Spiegel ausgewählter Quellen - eine Dokumentation - Edited by Hans-Jurgen Doscher. [Bonn], 1988. 63 pp. Softcover. 24 cm. German. Photographs, facsimiles.  Title's translation : ” Imperial Crystal Night : The November Pogroms of 1938 in the Mirror of Selected Sources - A Documentation ”. It's an historical sourcebook published for the 50th anniversary of the November Pogroms to expose the reality of the event through primary documents rather than retrospective narrative. The volume compiles official Nazi telegrams and police directives - such as those from Reinhard Heydrich - which explicitly prove that the violence and arson were state-orchestrated rather than spontaneous public outbursts. Alongside these bureaucratic orders, it features contemporary German newspaper clippings demonstrating the regime's propaganda control, juxtaposed against raw eyewitness testimonies, victim diaries, and foreign diplomatic reports that capture the immediate terror on the ground. Concluding with the infamous post-pogrom legal decrees that levied a billion-mark fine on the Jewish community itself, this brief documentation serves as a potent archive that lets original historical evidence speak directly to the mechanics of Nazi persecution. Ex-Librs : Yehuda Bauer! Yehuda Bauer - 1926-2024. Was a pioneering Israeli historian and one of the world's foremost authorities on the Holocaust. A professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and academic advisor to Yad Vashem, Bauer reshaped Holocaust scholarship by fundamentally challenging the myth of Jewish passivity, broadening the definition of ”resistance” to include spiritual and cultural survival under Nazi terror. He authored numerous seminal works on antisemitism, was a founding figure of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), and received the Israel Prize in 1998 for his lifelong dedication to genocide prevention and education.
