Raul Hilberg wrote the book The Destruction of the European Jews.

What we found

Supports. Reuters' 2007 obituary describes Hilberg as a scholar widely recognized for his work 'The Destruction of the European Jews'.[1]

Supports. The LA Times obituary identifies Hilberg as the author of the 1961 book 'The Destruction of the European Jews', described as the first comprehensive study of the Nazis' genocidal campaign.[3]

Supports. The Yale University Press edition and the USHMM memorial page both name Raul Hilberg as the author of the book.[2][4]

Context. The post's characterization of the book as 'not a particularly credible book' is opinion and is not part of the extracted claim, which only asserts authorship.
