Biografía breve
Robert Wistrich was born to a Polish Jewish family in Lenger, Kazakhstan (then the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic). His parents Sabina (Silbiger) and Jakob Wistreich, a doctor, had fled east in 1939 to escape the German invasion in World War II; however, they found Soviet rule to be little better. In 1942, Wistrich's father was imprisoned twice by the Soviet secret police. After the war ended, Robert and his parents were sent back to Poland. They soon fled to France and then to the UK. At age 17, Wistrich won a scholarship to study history at Cambridge University. He graduated in 1966 with a BA (Hons), which was raised to a MA degree in 1969. At Cambridge, he founded and co-edited Circuit, a literary and arts magazine. He also studied at Stanford University in California and for 16 months in Israel. He received his Ph.D. from the University of London in 1974. That year, he was named Director of Research at the Institute of Contemporary History and the Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide in London, at that time the largest research library of its kind in Europe. In 1982, he received tenure at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he held the Neuberger chair for modern European history. He was also appointed a Research Fellow at the British Academy. In his career, Prof. Wistrich published 29 books, including Socialism and the Jews (1985), which won the joint award of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism at Hebrew University and the American Jewish Committee. His 1989 book The Jews of Vienna in the Age of Franz Joseph received the Austrian State Prize in History. His monumental study Antisemitism: The Longest Hatred (1991) won the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Literary Prize in the UK and was the basis for "The Longest Hatred," a three-hour British-American TV documentary mini-series shown on public television in the USA. In 1993, he also scripted Good Morning, Mr. Hitler, an award-winning documentary commissioned by the UK's Channel 4 on Nazi art. In 1991, Prof. Wistrich became the first holder of the Chair of Jewish Studies at University College London. He also wrote dramas for BBC Radio and Kol Israel on the lives of historical figures ranging from Leon Trotsky to Theodor Herzl. In 2003, he acted as chief historical consultant for the BBC documentary, "Blaming the Jews," and in 2006 he was the academic advisor for the film Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West.

Para esre autor, judeu, o holocausto é o genecídio, é o centro da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Perante esta visão etnocêntrica, quando compara o holocausto com outros genocídios, passados ou contemporâneos, é só para mostrar o que o holocausto teve de brutal, de bárbaro e de violência organizada. Por outro lado, todos são culpados, alemães, povos dominados e aliados - uns porque perpetrara,. outros porque colaboraram e outros porque nada fizeram para o impedir. Todos os povos são culpados do holocausto excepto os judeus. Porém, a dúvida que fica da leitura desta obra é porque tantos povos e tão diferentes ao longo da História, odiaram de morte os judeus?
Contextualizando a obra no tempo que lhe pertence, a obra merce ser consultada.

Este esclarecedor libro proporciona nuevas respuestas a la gran pregunta de por qué ocurrió el Holocausto bajo el régimen de Adolf Hitler. El prestigioso historiador Robert S. Wistrich explora la fatídica conjunción entre la política de Hitler basada en el mito racial, la larga tradición de antisemitismo, las revueltas sociales y los avances técnicos de la modernidad.En este vívido relato, Wistrich analiza con brillantez la naturaleza apocalíptica del proyecto racial nazi, la escala paneuropea de colaboración en el exterminio masivo y la indiferencia de los aliados occidentales, del Vaticano y de las iglesias cristianas ante la terrible situación de los judíos. Wistrich se alinea con las últimas teorías desarrolladas por historiadores que tratan de comprender por qué ocurrió el Holocausto y compone la visión más actualizada disponible de esta tragedia.www.megustaleer.com.mx… (más)

This work completely ignores a very large anti-Zionist contingent – Jewish anti-Zionists. This reader wonders if Jewish anti-Zionists were left out of this book so as to paint as clear a connection as possible between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Yet, if that is what happened, it is nothing short of manipulation and cannot be seen as truth-serving historical writing. Indeed, leaving out any contrary or counter arguments (that are not radical left or right wing in nature) dangerously presents a black and white portrait of history where anti-Zionists must not only be wrong, but are bad, because they are anti-Semites. This links a dislike for a political solution (Zionism) with a dislike of a people, and that is unfair.… (más)
