Document
The John M. Steiner collection comprises biographical material, research, writings, correspondence, photographs, notes, and printed and audiovisual material documenting John M. Steiner, his survival of the Holocaust, postwar migration, academic career, research interests in sociology, the Holocaust, and the SS, and publications. The collection is particularly strong in correspondence, writings, and files documenting Steiner’s research into the sociology of the Holocaust, the social psychology of perpetrators and authoritarian personality traits, and his research interactions with former Nazis and SS members. Biographical materials document Steiner’s postwar migration to Australia and the United States, education, academic career, and restitution claims. Schutzstaffel (SS) materials documenting Steiner’s sociological research on SS members. Writings comprise published articles, stories, essays, drafts, speeches, and notes authored or co-authored by Steiner. Sonoma State University materials document Steiner’s professional career there. Correspondence primarily relates to Steiner’s research and teaching but includes some personal messages. Subject files assemble various topics of interest to Steiner and include sections on Otto Strasser, Herbert Taege, and Philip Zimbardo. Photographs depict Steiner and professional events in his life but also include reproductions of Holocaust-era images. The collection includes many of Steiner’s original notes for his research and writings. Printed material covers subjects such as the Holocaust, the SS, sociology, and Czechoslovakia. Audiovisual material has not yet been evaluated but appears to document conversations and events related to Steiner’s sociological research and interests in the Holocaust and the SS.
