Archival History

Bundesarchiv (Germany)

Acquisition

Original records, NS 36, are located in the Bundesarchiv, Berlin, Germany. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's International Archives Project received the microfilm from Yad Vashem in October 2006 through its mutual microfilm exchange program with Yad Vashem.

Scope and Content

The Oberstes Parteigericht der NSDAP (OPG) was founded on January 1, 1934 to handle cases concerning behavior that could harm the reputation of the NSDAP. It was responsible for trials of political importance and for appeals against decisions of district party tribunals. This collection includes transcripts of trials for excesses against Jews, such as murder or sexual assault during Kristallnacht; for abuses by SA leaders in concentration camps; and of a German "race-scientist" accused of having had a relationship with a half-Jewish woman. It also includes guidelines for the nomination of party judges and other materials.
