Published in 1944 by the German researcher and linguist Heinz Kloss, Statistics, Media, and Organizations of Jewry in the United States and Canada is a disturbingly thorough catalogue of Jewish residents in the two countries and reflects Nazi plans in the event they gained control over the continent.
[The book] demonstrates that the Holocaust wasnt a European event it was an event that didnt have the opportunity to spread out of Europe, Michael Kent, a curator at Library and Archives Canada, told the Guardian. It reminds us that conflicts and human tragedies that seemed far away could find their way to North America.
Experts believe the book was once part of Hitlers extensive library at his alpine hideaway and was probably removed by Allied soldiers or dignitaries who visited the complex following the defeat of the Nazis.

(92,219 posts)Stop Jewish Domination of Christian Americans, the banners cried out. Wake Up America. Smash Jewish Communism, others admonished, draping from the rafters above a packed, roaring crowd at New York Citys Madison Square Garden.
On Feb. 20, 1939, 22,000 members of the German American Bund, a pro-Nazi group, took over the venue that stars still consider a peak achievement if you can fill it up. That night, it was a full house for Bund leader Fritz Kuhn, who had become a household name as the American Hitler.
Dozens of the Bunds drum and bugle corps marched down the center aisle and mounted the stage, which featured a 30-foot-tall portrait of George Washington surrounded by American and Bund flags. Color guards bearing more Nazi flags followed behind.
Then 3,000 of the Bunds version of Adolf Hitlers SS protection squadron troops, the Ordnungsdienst or OD for short marched in dressed in SS-like uniforms of black pants, black shoes, gray shirts, Sam Browne military cross straps and swastika insignia.
Sieg Heil! the OD and the crowd shouted, with arms outstretched in a sea of Nazi salutes."
