This volume of collected essays brings together for the first time the range of Winter’s pioneering studies related to Neo-Assyrian relief sculpture and seals, Phoenician and Syrian ivory and bronze production, and inter-polity connections across the various cultures of first millennium B.C.E. from the Aegean to Iran. Consistent threads are an emphasis on the potential for art historical analysis to yield ‘history’ in the broadest sense; the importance of making the theoretical frame of interpretation explicit; and the necessity of textual evidence being brought to bear upon elements of formal analysis and archaeological context. "These beautifully produced volumes bring together essays written over a 35-year period, creating a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts...No library should be without this impressive collection." J.C. Exum

Kurt Pätzold (p. 39-110) reviews the history of the pogrom and subsequent anti-Jewish measures, the largely negative reaction of the German public to the violence, aid to Jewish neighbors and protest by a courageous few, and protests abroad, along with failure to take effective action to rescue Jews. Suggests that beyond its immediate goals, the pogrom served to habituate the German people to future atrocities. Pp. 111-233 reproduce official Nazi directives and reports concerning "Kristallnacht", reminiscences of Jewish victims, articles from the German and the foreign press, and speeches and letters by prominent persons abroad, mostly Germans in exile.
