After sifting through tens of thousands of perpetrators documents, he published&nbsp;<em>The Destruction of the European Jews<\/em>&nbsp;in 1961, with two revised editions to follow in 1985 and 2003. Hilberg\u2019s magnum opus describes the persecution as a complex bureaucratic process involving the entire German society. The book has served as a foundational text and intellectual companion to the field of Holocaust historiography since its first publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contributions in this volume explore the origins of Hilberg\u2019s pioneering study, map out the debates in which it was implicated, highlight its unprecedented accomplishments as well as disturbing blind spots, and use \u201cThe Destruction\u201d as a prism for an appraisal of eight decades of Holocaust research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steinbacher, Sybille (2026): \u201ePrecision, Severity, and Seriousness.
