| Σύνοψη: | Holocaust studies is a field that yields little pleasure. The material is emotionally and intellectually taxing, and the insights that one gains, especially if they are important, are often profoundly depressing with regard to human beings' capacity to inflict evil upon one another. But one of the pleasures that one can have in this field is to see its maturation, to read the new work of young scholars and the fresh work of experienced scholars who are taking innovative approaches to their field of study., Christopher Browning, for example, has a well-deserved reputation as a “documents man.” A protégé of Raul Hilberg, he can read German documentation and come to insights that glisten; he examines details in their greatest specificity but still presses toward larger conclusions. |
