Correspondence regarding Dokumentenwerk - Das Versagen der Vielen [Typescript]
Beginning in 1954 The Wiener Library and the Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) in Munich worked jointly on an edition of documents (Dokumentenwerk) regarding the persecution of Jews in the Nazi era. Initiated by the Ministry of Interior (BMI) and funded by the Federal Agency for Homeland Service (BHD) this project was part of larger journalistic endeavors by these two authorities to fight and prevent Antisemitism in West Germany. Due to ongoing problems the Dokumentenwerk was cancelled eventually in May 1963.
Entitled The Failure of the Many the folder contains parts of the typescript of one of the introductory chapters for the planned Dokumentenwerk edition.
