"With this compilation of essays and recollections, we [...] once again come to know Hilberg as an immensely productive, curious and innovative historian." Suddeutsche Zeitung
"A volume of great humanity." Die Tageszeitung
"[Hilberg was] undoubtedly the most important pioneer in the field of offender research, all of whose topics and controversies he anticipated in their essence." H-Soz-Kult
Though best known as the author of the 1961 landmark work The Destruction of the European Jews, the historian Raul Hilberg produced a variety of archival research, personal essays, and other works over a career that spanned half a century. The Anatomy of the Holocaust 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 commentary and notes from leading Holocaust scholars Walter H. Pehle and Rene Schlott, it not only offers a multifaceted look at Hilberg the man and the scholar, but also traces the evolution of Holocaust research from a marginal subdiscipline into a diverse and vital intellectual project.
