Though best known as the author of the 1961 landmark work The Destruction of the European Jews, the historian Raul Hilberg produced a variety of archival research, personal essays, and other works over a career that spanned half a century. The Anatomy of the Holocaust collects some of Hilberg's most essential and groundbreaking writings-many of them published in obscure journals or otherwise inaccessible to nonspecialists-in a single volume. Supplemented with commentary and notes from leading Holocaust scholars Walter H. Pehle and Rene Schlott, it not only offers a multifaceted look at Hilberg the man and the scholar, but also traces the evolution of Holocaust research from a marginal subdiscipline into a diverse and vital intellectual project.
Raul Hilberg was the founding scholar of Holocaust studies in the United States and the author of numerous publications, including the classic The Destruction of the European Jews. He taught political science at the University of Vermont from 1955 to 1991. He passed away in 2007.
Walter H. Pehle was born in 1941, studied in Cologne, Bonn and Dusseldorf, and holds a doctorate in history. From 1977 to 2011 he was an acquiring editor for history at the German publisher S. Fischer Verlag. Since 1988 he has served as the publisher of S. Fischer Verlag's series "The Age of National Socialism", which to date includes over 250 books.
Rene Schlott is a historian and researcher at the Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam and teaches history at the universities of Potsdam and Berlin. He received his doctorate in 2011 from the University of Giessen and currently holds a postdoctoral fellowship focusing on the life, work, and legacy of Raul Hilberg. In 2017, he was awarded a three-year scholarship from the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung for his work on Hilberg.
