Review title: Israeli Holocaust Historian Opinion (Tom Segev)
Product review: Tom Segev, Israeli historian and author ("The Seventh Million:Israelis and the Holocaust" and "The First Israelis") in an article dated 05/15/1998 in the Hebrew Daily "Ha'aretz", wrote this about Goldhagen's book:"... his [Goldhagen's] harshest critics: Ruth Bettina Birn of Canada and Norman J. Finkelstein of Hunter College, University of New York. Both of them have done the unthinkable: They have checked his references, one by one, and reached the conclusion that "Hitler's Willing Executioners" is not worthy of being called an academic text."... [in his internet site] Goldhagen does not respond to Finkelstein's arguments; he responds to Finkelstein.".. the criticism against Goldhagen is backed up so well. Historians all over the world, including Israel, agree that he has written a bad book. Few have praised him, and those who did were motivated by public relations and politics."
