The collection includes works on Nazi research about Jews and Judaism, anti-Semitic scholarship, "knapsack books" and many illustrated items that facilitate research on the visual representation of the Jews. The vast majority of the collection dates from the Nazi period, although a substantial number of works were published during the Weimar Republic.

Includes government publications of laws, regulations, and orders; German bibliographical journals; scholarly publications by individuals and institutions dealing with race, war, and German nationalism; scholarship and popular literature on the Jewish Question; Wehrmacht and SS publications intended as indoctrination for the common soldier ("knapsack books") and a great number of publications marked "Nur für den Dienstgebrauch"; books of a general political character dealing specifically with Germany's need for "space"; books dealing with race and minority issues (including the Jewish Question) in countries other than Germany; and anti-communist literature.

Texts primarily in German, with some materials in English, French, and other European languages.
