Citizenship and National Socialist Persecution

The conference "Citizenship and National Socialist Persecution" addresses questions that have received remarkably little attention in research to date. It mainly focuses on the analysis of state interventions to protect foreign citizens in Germany and the territories occupied by Germany during the Second World War. Furthermore, it examines the reactions of the German bureaucracy as well as collaborationist governments to foreign interventions and the resulting conflict between "pragmatic foreign policy", the goals of National Socialist ideology, and the willingness to collaborate.
