Raphael Lemkin Collection, Papers, 1931-1947.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/698700088

Series I: German Government Regulations contains gazettes and copies of official documentation created by the Nazi government concerning its regulations generally and specifically in the occupied territories identified as the Sudetenland and Poland. These documents were likely obtained by Lemkin while teaching and researching law in Sweden and became part of his research into writing Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. Series II: Other research and writings contains some of the other research Lemkin collected in his studies of genocide and war crimes. In addition to some material from the International and Nuremberg Military Tribunals, this series has documents from the Dachau Trials and United Nations committees dealing with classifying war crimes. The series also contains a set of articles on Japanese militarization and war crimes and a small set of Lemkin's writing. The documents come in the form of official memoranda and reports, copies from microfilm, correspondence, and printed drafts.
