At the end of World War II, an American military intelligence team retrieved an original copy of the 1935 Nuremberg Laws, signed by Hitler, and turned over this rare document to General George S. Patton. In 1999, after fifty-five years in the vault of the Huntington Library in southern California, the Nuremberg Laws resurfaced and were put on public display for the first time at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. In this far-ranging, interdisciplinary study that is part historical analysis, part cultural critique, part detective story, and part memoir, Tony Platt explores a range of interrelated issues: war-time looting, remembrance of the holocaust, German and American eugenics, and the public responsibilities of museums and cultural centers. This book is based on original research by the author and co-researcher, historian Cecilia OLeary, in government, military, and library archives; interviews and oral histories; and participant observation. It is both a detailed, scholarly analysis and a record of the authors activist efforts to correct the historical record.

This book was conceived as a joint project in the summer of 1999 when Cecilia O'Leary and I were visiting fellows at the Huntington Library. We developed the framework together and shared research tasks. For health reasons, Cecilia was not able to participate in the writing of the book, but she remained actively involved throughout the whole process, from first outline to last draft.
We would like to acknowledge the support and advice of many people, who guided us through a maze of research from San Marino to Nuremberg.
Special thanks to:
Martin Dannenberg, without whose memory and enthusiastic participation this project would not have been possible. Marianne Perls, who opened up her family's past to our investigation. Robert Patton, who welcomed an honest appraisal of his grandfather.
The Huntington Library: Robert Skotheim for facilitating access to internal documents; Dan Lewis for searching the archives; Alan Jutzi for encouraging leads; Susi Krasnoo for making us feel welcome; Maria Lepowsky for collegiality beyond the call of duty; Jennifer Watts and Erin Chase for help with photographs and documents; Lisa Blackburn for responding to many queries; and many other staff members, and past and present researchers, some of whom shared experiences with us on condition of anonymity. We recognize that Robert Skotheim and other members of his administration inherited many problems associated with the mishandling of the Nuremberg Laws by previous Huntington administrations.
The Skirball Cultural Center: Uri Herscher for his generosity of spirit and information; Pat Burdette for making our visits run smoothly; Robert Kirschner and Grace Cohen Grossman for sharing their curatorial insights; and Mia Cario for documents and photographs.
The California Institute of Technology: Judith Goodstein for advice on sources; Bonnie Ludt for facilitating our research.
