The newspaper clippings in this collection focus on political events both in Germany and abroad, in particular assassinations and political violence, and include numerous political cartoons. The clippings are arranged according to geographical area. Also included are clippings and campaign publications relating to local, state, and national elections in Germany between 1919 and 1924, as well as clippings relating to events happening internationally between 1900 and 1930, particularly in Russia and China. The collection also includes a small series of Nazi propaganda and ephemera dating from 1939 to 1943, containing three certificates, two blank sheets of letterhead, and a Nazi-produced newsletter for a United States audience, as well as a set of typescripts (in English) of undated German propaganda.
The collection is arranged in five series: Campaign Publications and Political Brochures, International Politics and Political Violence, International Relations and Movements, Nazi Propaganda, and Other Topics.
