Paul A Cohen: History and Popular Memory: The Power of Story in Moments of Crisis, New York 2014, S. 45–49, Zitat S. 48: The counterpart of the buoyant “Never again shall Masada fall!” is the cruel reality that, just as in the first century, Masada (i.e. Palestine) cannot possibly meet the demands placed on it by twentieth-century Jews.

Richard Nelson: Masada and the Birth of a Nation. In: The Guardian, 11. Februar 2014. (online): Herod the Great built on the crest of Masada a palace and fort, and when the Temple was destroyed by Titus, a core of about 900 diehards from the defenders of Jerusalem took refuge at Masada and withstood Roman assault for three years. When, at last, the Romans took the fort by storm they found the defenders had committed mass suicide. Masada has always been a coveted prize for archaeologists because it is confidently supposed that the defenders would have been no more willing to give up their people's scrolls and documents than they were to surrender their lives; and they had ample time to hide them.
