HST-146 The Holocaust in History
The attempted destruction of the Jews of Europe staggered our collective human history and left a brutal scar that will never (and never can be allowed to) disappear. In a twenty-first century when Holocaust denialism and Neo-Nazis movements are on the rise, this course insists on a truthful analysis of the past, including an exploration of the historical process that produced the Holocaust, the mechanics of its operation, the perpetrators, victims, and bystanders who designed, suffered, or stood silent, and the far-reaching legacy of this genocide today.
