dc.description.abstractRaul Hilberg, a refugee from Austria, whose family fled Austria to New York City to escape the Holocaust, dedicated his scholarly career to documenting and contextualizing the facts about the Holocaust. He studied at Columbia University, and in 1955 wrote a 700 page dissertation on the Holocaust, which he later expanded into the 3-volume scholarly book, "The Destruction of the European Jews." Paul Shapiro, who had been director of the Centre for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC, described this work as "the single most influential work in our field and the benchmark for the discipline."
