"As he turns 70, Hilberg, himself a Jewish native of Vienna who escaped Hitler's Europe as a teenager, looks back on a very unusual academic career and tries to make sense of it. This is not a book about the Holocaust, but it is very much a book about writing about the Holocaust....this short book does the important service of showing that if Hilberg is not the final word in our understanding of the Holocaust, he is certainly its beginning."
Jonathan Groner, Washington Post Book World, 09/01/1996
Review:"Extraordinarily reserved...but under the surface it is seething."

The Politics of Memory: The Journey of a Holocaust Historian (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781566634281) Hilberg, Raul Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Ivan R Dee, Inc, United States, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 210 x 137 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. This is the poignant memoir of a man who has spent most of his lifetime immersed in the evidence of one of the great horrors in human history. It is both a record of how it affected him and a revelation of the surprising ways in which his monumental work was received by his contemporaries. Even after thirty-five years, Raul HilbergOs The Destruction of the European Jews remains the most distinguished and comprehensive analysis of the Nazi destruction process. Yet at the time it was written, as Mr. Hilberg recounts in The Politics of Memory, both the manuscript and its subject matter were rejected by major publishers and university presses; 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. How his study was used and abused_especially by Hannah Arendt, Lucy Dawidowicz, and Nora Levin_draws Mr. HilbergOs attention, as does the more admiring reception for Destruction in Europe than in America. The Politics of Memory brings full circle a scholarly enterprise that in many ways has been a terrible calling.
