Nazi Germany and The Holocaust Research Guide

This guide is intended to be a starting point for students who are trying to locate resources on the subject of the Holocaust.  See the tabs above for more information on finding articles, books, and additional resources. Please do not hesitate to ask for help if you have any questions!

You can search the library's catalog to find both books and articles. Please be aware that it sometimes appears that we own a copy of book, but it is the book review. If we own the title, "Texas A&M University-San Antonio Library" will appear on the last line of the citation. The library's catalog also gathers titles that appear within San Antonio area libraries and throughout the world. These books will either have "At San Antonio Libraries" or "At other libraries worldwide" on the last line. Any book that is tagged "At San Antonio Libraries" can be checked out by using a TexShare card. For any book that is tagged "At other libraries worldwide" an Interlibrary Loan request can be made to get that book to the patron.

Browse the Library's Mazal Holocaust Collection.

The Mazal Holocaust Collection contains over 6,000 books from  Harry W. Mazal personal collection, who was an internationally recognized Holocaust collector and researcher. ** Due to lack of space, the majority of these books are being stored with our archives, though a majority of these titles can be shipped to the main campus for checkout.  If you would like to view a book that is located in our archives, please contact the main library.  Check the location field in the book's record to find out where this book is located.
