Abstract This paper contains an analysis of the main arguments and the issues they raise in Martin Gilbert's book about the Holocaust. The paper focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of the points made in the book and includes the author's opinion of those arguments as well.
From the Paper "The author employs a vast number of sources in order to make his book more complete, and to illustrate the suffering going on all over Europe in Jewish communities. He interviews hundreds of Holocaust survivors, who tell compelling and unbelievable stories of violence, hatred, and viciousness so appalling, they tend to run together into a vast cauldron of denial. It is quite clear the author used any avenue available to him to complete his research and find sources for his book. The most compelling sources are those survivors who recount the unspeakable horrors that continued around them until the Jews' liberation in mid-1945. The book is crammed with horrible testimony to the cruelty and inhumanity of the Nazis."
