Since antiquity, European Jewish diaspora communities have used
formal appeals to secular and religious authorities to secure
favors or protection. Such petitioning took on particular
significance in modern dictatorships, often as the only tool left
for voicing political opposition. During the Holocaust, tens of
thousands of European Jews turned to individual and collective
petitions in the face of state-sponsored violence. This volume
offers the first extensive analysis of petitions authored by Jews
in nations ruled by the Nazis and their allies. It demonstrates
their underappreciated value as a historical source and reveals the
many attempts of European Jews to resist intensifying persecution
and actively struggle for survival.
