Documentary Evidence

  • "Bolshevism Without a Mask!", Pamphlet from Nazi Germany about the rise of Fascism, and the Bolshevik influence on Europe through art, politics and other means.
  • Collections of Theresienstadt documentation
  • Documents from the Holocaust
  • Das Lied Vom Levi, Anti-semitic children's book from Germany.
  • Life Under Nazism, Official product of NSDAP to depict some of the "normal" everyday life and activities of Nazism, not the Holocaust.
  • Hadamar: Committed to Hadamar, Exhibition about the T-4 Program, sometimes erroneously called "euthanasia," with a special focus on the hospital in Hadamar Germany. The documentary information uncovers the cruelty that was the reality behind the Nazis' desire to create a society where there was no room for "inferior" humans - or humans with genetic disabilities.
