The Destruction of the European Jews, 3 Volume Set

by Raul Hilberg

Examines the history of persecution against European Jews, discusses the definition of a Jew according to the German regime, and describes the processes through which Jews were eliminated during the Holocaust years." First published in 1961, this landmark study of the Holocaust spurred discussion, galvanized further research and shaped the entire field of Holocaust studies. This revised and expanded edition includes some 80,000 words of new material, particularly from recently-opened archives in Eastern Europe.
