A Global History of the Nazi \u201cJewish Question\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Summer 2023, while based at the Institute for Contemporary History (Munich), I made a series of five research trips over ten weeks, approximately one trip every other week, to the Federal Archive in Koblenz, which houses the personal papers of many prominent Nazi officials; the Federal Archive Berlin, which has the bulk of Nazi party and government files; the Berlin State Library, which holds one of the best collections of published primary sources from the interwar period; and the Federal Archive Freiburg, which houses files on the German military and military administration in the occupied territories. As a result of this research, I achieved three substantial outcomes: a completed draft of Chapter Three (\u201cHitler\u2019s \u2018Jim Crow\u2019 Laws? \u2018Dissimilation\u2019 as \u2018Solution\u2019 to the Nazi \u2018Jewish Question\u2019\u201d); a reconceived outline of the book (most notably Chapters Five through Eight); and a third outcome I did not initially anticipate having the time or material to complete: a journal article revising our understanding of the so-called \u201cMadagascar Plan\u201d (\u201cPrelude to Genocide or Late-Stage \u2018Territorialism\u2019? The \u2018Madagascar Plan\u2019 in Comparative and Colonial Context, 1936-1940\u201d) that I have submitted to the Journal of Genocide Research<\/em>. After briefly discussing the general framework of my book project, I will focus on outlining each of these three outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Eric Kurlander<\/strong> (MA\/PhD Harvard University) is William R.
