Abstract

Horst Junginger, Die Verwissenschaftlichung der “Judenfrage” im Nationalsozialismus (Veröffentlichungen der Forschungsstelle Ludwigsburg der Universität Stuttgart, Bd. 19; Darmstadt: Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, 2011), 480 pp., ISBN: 978-3-5342-3977-1, €59,90. The history of the anti-Semitic research institutes in Nazi Germany that aimed at giving the anti-Jewish measures of the regime a scientific legitimacy is not exactly unexplored territory.
