This edited collection delves into the horrors of November 1938 and
to what degree they portended the Holocaust, demonstrating the
varied reactions of Western audiences to news about the pogrom
against the Jews. A pattern of stubborn governmental refusal to
help German Jews to any large degree emerges throughout the book.
Much of this was in response to uncertain domestic economic
conditions and underlying racist attitudes towards Jews.
Contrasting this was the outrage expressed by ordinary people
around the world who condemned the German violence and challenged
the policy of Appeasement being advanced by Great Britain and
France towards Adolf Hitler's Nazi German government at the time.
Contributors employ multiple media sources to make their arguments,
and compare these with official government records. For the first
time, a collection on Kristallnacht has taken a truly transnational
approach, giving readers a fuller understanding of how the events
of November 1938 were understood around the Western world.
