Bøker av Raul Hilberg

Historian Raul Hilberg produced a variety of archival research, personal essays, and other works over a career that spanned half a century. This book collects some of Hilberg's most essential and groundbreaking writings-many of them published in obscure journals or otherwise inaccessible to nonspecialists-in a single volume.

Supplemented with additional writings from Hilberg, primary source materials, and a comprehensive historical survey from leading scholars Christopher Browning and Peter Hayes, this is a rich and accessible introduction to a topic in Holocaust history that remains understudied even today.

Says that the manuscript of "The Destruction of the European Jews" was rejected by major publishers; and in the wake of publication, the author faced a hostile reception from those who refused to believe that the Jews were less than heroic in their journey to the gas chambers. This book shows how the study was used and abused.

A three-volume study of the Holocaust. First published in 1961, Raul Hilberg's account of how Germany annihilated the Jewish community of Europe spurred discussion and shaped the field of Holocaust studies. This expanded edition includes new material, particularly from archives in Eastern Europe.
