From this point on, it was no longer considered sufficient or acceptable for states to respect the sovereign rights of another if the rights of citizens were being violated. Greg Burgess discusses this idea, amongst others, in detail as part of what is a crucial volume for all scholars and students of Nazi Germany, the Holocaust and modern Jewish history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGreg Burgess \u003c\/b\u003eis Senior Lecturer in History at Deakin University, Australia, and specialises in the history of France and its experiences of refugees and their protection during the 19th and 20th centuries.
