From April 1933 to early 1943, Bernard Loesener served as the
official "Jewish Expert" in the German Third Reich's Ministry of
the Interior, the government body responsible for the Nazi's
legislative assault on German Jewry. In that role, he personally
drafted much of the legislation, the Nuremberg Laws of 1935
preeminently, that gradually dispossessed, disenfranchised, and
dehumanized the Jews of Nazi Germany. During the first six years of
Nazi rule, the seminal period of government-sponsored
anti-Semitism, Loesener kept the minutes of many crucial,
high-level, inter-ministerial conferences concerned with the
"Jewish Question." As observer and participant, his experiences
were virtually unparalleled. In 1950, Loesener penned a memoir that
sought to explain, and justify, his actions during the ten-year
escalation of Nazi oppression that resulted, to Loesener's
professed horror, in the Final Solution. It was published in 1961,
in German, by the journal "Vierteljahrshefte fuer Zeitgeschichte."
It has never before appeared in English, until now - in
"Legislating the Holocaust."
