The Destruction of Jewish Life in German Borderlands: Wolf Gruner, Jörg Osterloh, eds., Das "Großdeutsche Reich" und die Juden: Nationalsozialistische Verfolgung in den "angegliederten" Gebieten

Intertwining history and historiography, this collection of twelve essays sheds light on the destruction of Jewish life in largely uncharted spaces of the Holocaust. These were the territories that were annexed by the Nazis and incorporated into the Grosdeutsche Reich, the “great German empire” and, as such, these regions became part of the German Volksgemeinschaft, the “people’s community.” The popular slogan and policy Heim ins Reich! (“Home to the Reich!”) implied the postulate and praxis Juden Rauβ! (“Out with the Jews!”).
