The Holocaust por Abba Eban
This is a reprint from Eban's book, published by Yad Vashem
My Daddy bought this for me a few years ago because he thought it was so good and he wanted to be sure I would read it. I finally got round to reading it a few weeks ago. In one of our last conversations I told him I was reading it, but I don't think he even remembered that he'd bought it for me. Funny. Now I've finished it and I can't talk to him about it.
Eban's book is a reasonably good review of Jewish history albeit very condensed. The ancient history chapters are fascinating, middle history is conventional, modern history is more cheerleading and not as insightful as I had hoped. Still, Eban's unique position in Israeli history makes this book well worth reading ... and the historic photos and illustrations are great! I have only one big quibble. Eban uncritically repeats the myth that the names of immigrants were changed at Ellis Island (because the immigration officials couldn't spell the spoken name). That is patently false. Names were recorded in immigration docs directly from the ship's manifest. The manifest was created at the port of departure and turned over to immigration officials upon landing in the US.… (más)
