Antisemitica

Finally, all antisemitic books were deemed illegal and subject to confiscation or destruction. Only the U.S. Library of Congress was exempt. Starting in 1946, its newly reestablished Mission in Europe was permitted to take quite a bit of antisemitica for future use and study.

In poring over these vile and well-preserved folders full of antisemitica in the Foreign Ministry archives, one senses a naïveté, even earnestness among Sugihara's generation.
