HIST 4100 - The Holocaust in Contemporary History

Hours: 4
The course studies the history of the Holocaust and how that history compels a re-examination of human society, behavior, and values. It analyzes the rise of Nazism, the nature of political anti-Semitism, the phenomenon of wartime occupation, and the meanings of collaboration and resistance. It explores contemporary Jewish history and the significance of the Holocaust in post-1945 collective culture, including how memory of the Holocaust influences global movements for the protection of stateless persons and confronting crimes against humanity. It studies the history and consciousness of the Holocaust through diverse sources and media, including historical testimony, memoirs, literature, film documentaries, visual art, and memorials.
