Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Manual issued by the SS under Heinrich Himmler’s name: Rassenpolitik (Race Politics), issued by the SS Hauptamt, 1942. The cover bears a statue of an “aryan” man, while the contents expound upon the Jewish danger, non-aryan blood in general, and the SS man’s role in guaranteeing pure Nordic blood lines and values. Chapters include the importance of SS men having racially pure children, the influence of blacks on race, and special attention is given to the Jews. The book also contains many illustrations and photographs, including images of Nordic ideal types compared with unflattering images of Jews, Russians and blacks. A library stamp remains on the cover.
