Abstract:
Surveys previous research on assistance to Jews in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe, noting its fragmentary character. Discusses issues of definition (help due to humane motives or as political resistance vs. help in exchange for work or money); sources (interviews, official Nazi and other archives, memoirs and other published works; the research team attempts to document each case from more than one source); periodization (contact with Jews became a punishable offense in October 1941); regional differences; and characteristics of helpers, their political and religious affiliation, and whether they acted alone or as part of a group. The project will cover all of Germany (in its pre-1937 borders) and will be available in a data bank.
