"Work played a central role in Nazi ideology and propaganda, and even today there remain some who still emphasize the supposedly positive aspects of the regime's labor policies, ignoring the horrific and inhumane conditions they produced. This definitive volume provides, for the first time, a systematic study of the Reich Ministry of Labor and its implementation of National Socialist work doctrine. In detailed and illuminating chapters, contributors scrutinize political maneuvering, ministerial operations, relations between party and administration, and individual officials' actions to reveal the surprising extent to which administrative apparatuses were involved in the Nazi regime and its crimes."

In summer 1942 the Germans escalated the systematic deportations of Jews from Western and Northern Europe to the extermination camps. In most of the countries under German control, the occupying forces initially focused on arresting foreign and stateless Jews, thereby securing the cooperation of local authorities. However, before long the entire Jewish population was targeted for deportation. This volume documents the parallels and differences in the persecution of Jews in occupied Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France in the period from summer 1942 to liberation; it records the implementation of the systematic deportation and murder of Jews from Western and Northern Europe, and it also records the rescue of more than 5,000 Danish Jews. In letters and diary entries the persecuted Jews describe their attempts to flee, life in hiding, the transit camps, and deportation transports that often took several days. In Westerbork camp in the occupied Netherlands, Bob Cahen, himself an inmate, recorded in his diary the arrival in the camp of 17,000 Jews from across the Netherlands in October 1942: 'People arrived here herded like livestock. Some were buried beneath their luggage, others without any possessions at all, not even properly dressed. Women in poor health who had been hauled out of bed in thin nightgowns, children in undergarments and barefoot, the elderly, the ill, the infirm – more and more new people came to the camp.' The sources in the volume show how the perpetrators attempted to dupe their victims regarding the destination of the transports, and how Jewish organizations attempted to alleviate the suffering of the deportees. The documents additionally illustrate how the resistance movement gained momentum during this period. Learn more about the PMJ on https://pmj-documents.org

The object of this article is the Nazi propaganda; the subject of this article - technology (on the example of the Napoleonic discourse) updating/replacement of images of the past from organized public discourse. The chronological scope of the article is 1933-1945. In some cases, the author expands the chronological scope; the author believes that a problem-based approach is the leading. The author convinc-ingly proves that the use of the image of Napoleon in the official discourse of Nazi Germany was limited to anti-French discourse of the political elite. This circum-stance that influenced the unsystematic use of an image of Napoleon in the official discourse. Haphazard use of the image of Napoleon in the Nazi propaganda kept him in the public discourse and simplified the use of the image of Napoleon in the anti-Nazi counter-propaganda. ; Объектом данной статьи является организованный дискурс (на примере нацистской пропаганды); предметом - технологии (на примере наполеоновского дискурса) актуализации/вытеснения образов прошлого из организованного общественного дискурса. Хронологические рамки статьи определены 1933-1945 гг. В отдельных случаях автор традиционно идет на расширение хронологических рамок, заявленных в статье, приоритетным считая проблемный подход. Автор аргументированно доказывает, что использование образа Наполеона в официальном дискурсе нацистской Германии было ограничено антифранцузским дискурсом политической элиты. Данное обстоятельство что влияло на бессистемность использования образа Наполеона в официальном дискурсе.
