The lists were also published in the three volumes of the book,"Die Ausbürgerung deutscher Staatsangehöriger 1933-45 nach den im Reichsanzeiger veröffentlichten Listen (Expatriation Lists as Published in the"Reichsanzeiger“, 1933-45), compiled by Hans Georg Lehmann and Michael Hepp, 1985 –198", Michael Hepp, editor.
The Nazi regime in Germany revoked the citizenship of German citizens who emigrated from Germany, and criticized the regime. Revocation of citizenship also meant confiscation of property, an action which turned many of the emigrants (who had escaped from Germany without managing to sell their property) into people with nothing at all. The lists of those whose citizenship had been revoked were published in th"Deutscher Reichsanzeige", the official State publication. The first list was published on 25 August 1933, and the last list on 17 April 1945. All together the lists contained the names of 39,006 people, who represented most of the intellectual and cultural German elite before the Nazi rise to power.
