Tracing Hitler, the rise of Nazism and the final solution : observations from the Cape Times, 1933-1945

This study intends to look at the Cape Times' coverage and editorial response to the Nazi regime's treatment of Jews from its rise to power in early 1933 to its demise in 1945 at the end of World War II. As such, this paper follows a path broken by Andrew Sharf and his study of British press reaction to Nazi atrocities committed against Jews, Deborah Lipstadt and her book analyzing American press coverage of the same, and Sharon Friedman's thesis on the Afrikaner press' treatment of Nazi Germany and the Jews. In acknowledging these predecessors, it is essential to explain why this study of the English South African press, in the form of the Cape Times, is necessary.
