Abstract:
A critique of two recent works on the Holocaust - the 1990 German edition of Raul Hilberg's "The Destruction of the European Jews" and Wolfgang Benz (ed.), "Dimension des Völkermords: Die Zahl der jüdischen Opfer des Nationalsozialismus" (1991). Agreeing in general with Hilberg's work, adds complementary details, and comments that the author concentrated on the implementation of the destruction of European Jewry but not on its reasons. Notes the difficulties of Benz in giving details about the number of Jews murdered during the Holocaust, which could amount - according to his research - to more than six million.
Note:
On Raul Hilberg, "Die Vernichtung der europäischen Juden", 1990; Wolfgang Benz (ed.): "Dimension des Völkermords; die Zahl der jüdischen Opfer des Nationalsozialismus", 1991.
