In April-May 1940 the German Wehrmacht invaded Northern and Western Europe. The subsequent occupation of Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France brought the Jewish population of these countries – both established residents and refugees – under German control. From autumn 1941 in Luxembourg and from spring/summer 1942 in Belgium, the Netherlands and occupied France, Jews were required to wear the ‘Jewish star’ and many were subjected to forced labour. By mid-1942, deportations from Luxembourg and France to the ghettos and extermination camps in occupied Eastern Europe had already begun, while in the other occupied countries they were imminent. In April 1942 Alfred Oppenheimer, the Jewish elder in Luxembourg, wrote: ‘A dreadful fate hangs over our community again. The worst that can happen has now happened and the Poland transport is a certainty.’ This volume covers Norway and Western Europe during the period from the German invasion to mid 1942 (developments in Denmark for this period are documented in vol. 12) and records how Jews in these parts of Europe were excluded from society and stripped of their rights, livelihoods, and property. Letters and diary entries by the persecuted Jews detail life under German occupation and the attempts by many Jews to emigrate. The sources show how Jewish organizations sought to alleviate the impact of persecution, and how the German occupiers and local collaborators targeted Jews with increasingly stringent measures and clamped down on any form of resistance.

Im Mai 1940 überfiel die Deutsche Wehrmacht die Staaten Nord- und Westeuropas und besetzte sie weitgehend. Einheimische und die bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt nach Norwegen, in die Niederlande, nach Belgien, Luxemburg oder Frankreich geflüchteten Juden fielen jetzt unter deutsche Herrschaft. 1942 waren die Juden in allen Ländern Westeuropas zum Tragen des "Judensterns" verpflichtet, Zwangsarbeit war für Juden die Regel. In Frankreich und Luxemburg hatten die Deportationen in die Gettos und Vernichtungslager bereits begonnen, in den anderen Ländern standen sie unmittelbar bevor.
Dieser Band dokumentiert für die Zeit vom deutschen Einmarsch bis Mitte 1942 die schrittweise Entrechtung der Juden, ihre Isolation und die Zerstörung ihrer Existenzgrundlage mittels Berufsverboten und Enteignung. In Briefen und Tagebüchern schildern die verfolgten Juden das Leben unter deutscher Besatzung und die Versuche, diesem Leben durch Emigration doch noch zu entkommen. Die Dokumente zeigen, wie sich jüdische Organisationen bemühten, die Auswirkungen der Verfolgung zu mildern, und wie deutsche Machthaber aber auch einheimische Kollaborateure das Leben der Juden immer stärker reglementierten und jeden Widerstand zu ersticken suchten.
Auf der Basis der Edition realisiert der Bayerische Rundfunk die dokumentarische Höredition „Die Quellen sprechen“, die in Staffeln gesendet wird und unter www.die-quellen-sprechen.de nachzuhören ist.
