The Holocaust: Works
built 286 days ago
Hilberg’s work was finally published in 1961 by Quadrangle Press, and only with a private subvention—just as interest in the Holocaust began to grow in response to the Eichmann Trial. Hannah Arendt made much use of Hilberg’s work in her famed New Yorker columns, but without attribution; only in her later work, Eichmann in Jerusalem, was the young scholar given his due. According to Browning “What Hilberg portrayed as a catastrophic and tragic failure of perception, Arendt in contrast portrayed in terms of seduction by apparent power, self-serving corruption, and ultimately betrayal—in short a searing accusation of moral failure.”

More than fifty years after the Holocaust, all those who want to learn from the past still struggle to make sense of this human disaster of unparalleled horror. The hard work of scholars has enriched understanding of the Shoah, especially over the past decade, but their work has been scattered and sometimes inaccessible to general readers.

Everyone in the field of Holocaust Studies knows that if a Noble Prize were offered for Holocaust Studies, Hilberg would have been its most worthy recipient. Such was the quality of his work, and ... the man.
