American and British appeasement of Nazism during the early years
of the Third Reich went far beyond territorial concessions. In
Prologue to Annihilation: Ordinary American and British Jews
Challenge the Third Reich, Stephen H. Norwood examines the numerous
ways that the two nations' official position of tacit acceptance of
Jewish persecution enabled the policies that ultimately led to the
Final Solution and how Nazi annihilationist intentions were clearly
discernible even during the earliest years of Hitler's rule.
Further, Norwood looks at the nature and impact of American and
British Jewish resistance to Nazi persecution and the efforts of
Jews at the grassroots level to press Jewish organizations to
respond more forcefully to the Nazi menace. He examines the
worldwide protest and boycott movements against Germany and German
goods as well as mass demonstrations by working-class and
lower-middle-class Jews in many American and British cities.
Prologue to Annihilation details how the events of 1930-1936 tested
American and British societies' willingness to accept Nazism and
its anti-Jewish philosophy and illuminates the divisions that
existed even within the Jewish community about how best to
challenge Nazi antisemitic policies and atrocities.
