Description: "The Holocaust continues to prompt hundreds of historical studies and investigations, with sources ranging from diaries and photographs to remnants of clothing and buildings to being analyzed by historians in an effort to achieve a truer picture of the time. Now Raul Hilberg, the acknowledged master of Holocaust historians, looks at the evidence itself - and finds it contains a history of its own.

In Sources of Holocaust Research he distills a lifetime of scholarly investigation into an indispensable analysis of the use of sources in the writing of Holocaust history." "Throughout Mr. Hilberg makes use of a rich fund of examples and anecdotes to illustrate his principles. The result is a book that anyone seriously interested in Holocaust research must have."--BOOK JACKET.
