I was able to access the article.

Interesting what you posted and what I posted today, jon. I hadn't read this thread when I posted about Worse than War.
Let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness.

HOLY CARP!!!
Just who are you trying to attack with this piece, jon? Hannah Arendt? Raul Hilberg? Why did you post it?

;)

Seriously, though, writers lifting material from one another with insufficient acknowledgment/attribution isn't all that uncommon, and would hardly be news by itself. What is it that you see in this piece, beyond just a story of one writer lifting material from another without proper attribution? :huh:

I thought it was interesting to read about Hilberg, I didn't know much about him, and confess I first heard about him reading Eichmann in Jerusalem

A very interesting article. Makes me want to read The Destruction of the European Jews

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

Yeah, me too. I remember thinking I should read it when I read Arendt, but I never got around to finding it.
