An exhaustive analysis of the numerous legal and executive provisions and practices applicable to 'Fremdvolkische.' I consider it the only scholarly work of this nature that addresses all of the people concerned and the treatment they received from Nazi authorities, and have relied heavily on it myself.--Walter O. Weyrauch, author of Gypsy Law: Romani Legal Traditions and Culture

It is to be hoped that discussion of this encyclopedic work will not be limited to jurists and scholars of contemporary history. Some sections should be read and studied in courses on history and politics. -- SA1/4ddeutsche Zeitung, reviewing a previous edition or volume

It is to be hoped that discussion of this encyclopedic work will not be limited to jurists and scholars of contemporary history. Some sections should be read and studied in courses on history and politics. -- SA1/4ddeutsche Zeitung, reviewing a previous edition or volume One of the most impressive books to appear this year... Certain to be indispensable to any student of the New Order in Europe between 1939 and 1945. -- Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature This is a truly impressive book. The huge undertaking of translation will benefit many scholars... It will serve as a mine of information, not least thanks to its extremely useful and detailed index. -- English Historical Review Here is a work that is outstanding both in the wealth of materials that went into its making and in its precision of exposition. It is not a collection of regulations, but rather a critique based on the pertinent materials. As sober and honest as could be. -- Stuttgarter Zeitung, reviewing a previous edition or volume The translation is highly readable, and the end notes are often independently interesting and hard to ignore. -- Robert D. Rachlin, Bulletin of the Center for Holocaust Studies There has not been such a comprehensive presentation of the Third Reich's legal system before, and it will be a long time before another -- written by a single author -- appears. Here quantity is transformed into quality. The abundant references and quotations form a mosaic of the National Socialist period; they are also an indispensable aid to future investigators, especially since superbly detailed indices of subjects, place names and persons, along with maps and illustrations, facilitate the practical use of the information they contain. -- Juristen-Zeitung, reviewing a previous edition or volume This is a truly impressive book. the huge undertaking of translation will benefit many scholars... it will serve as a mine of information, not least thanks to its extremely useful and detailed index. -- English Historical Review This work is meant to contribute to the investigation of the National Socialist system of injustice. The author has succeeded brilliantly in doing so... The most important sections of the book should be made obligatory reading in the training of those who will enter governmental administration and the law. -- Gemeinsames Ministerialblatt, reviewing a previous edition or volume An exhaustive analysis of the numerous legal and executive provisions and practices applicable to Fremdvolkische.
