Class Description:
The Holocaust is one of the defining events of the twentieth century. Between the years 1939-1945, the Nazis murdered nearly twelve million men, women, and children living in Europe and the Soviet Union. Families broken, communities destroyed, memories erased; the Holocaust indelibly shaped the lives of those it affected, and forever transformed the regions where it transpired. This course will examine the Holocaust using both primary and secondary source material. It will challenge students to engage with questions and historiographical debates that continue to shape our collective understanding of the crimes committed by the Third Reich: why after centuries of underlying religious consternation in Europe did genocide emerge as a ,,final solution,, for Germany's ,,social problems?,, How did the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers Party) turn economic crisis, social unrest, and political gridlock into the largest and most systematic murder campaign in history? What drove perpetrators to engage in acts of genocide?is it enough to assign blame, as have some scholars, to Germans ,,natural propensity,, for violence and authoritarianism, or were larger forces, emblematic of all cultures and societies, at work? How do we comprehend notions of guilt and responsibility, and where do we see departures from traditional understandings of these topics?

Class Description:
The term "Holocaust" refers to the deliberate, systematic murder of approximately 6 million Jews, as well as hundreds of thousands of Roma (Gypsies) and others, in Nazi dominated Europe between the years 1941-1945. The course will narrate the history of the Holocaust, its social, cultural and ideological origins, and its major influences on post-1945 developments. In addition, we will discuss the theories that seek to explain "how it could happen" and what is the "meaning" of it, the "lesson" it taught. In our inquiry we will use a variety of primary sources - such as films, television shows, memoirs, speeches, essays, short stories, etc. The diverse sources would provide us with clues for a better understanding of this unimaginable, tragic period in human history. The class does not require special linguistic abilities, although they are most welcome. Class time: 60% lecture, 40% discussion. Work Load: 8-10 pages of writing per semester: a take-home midterm exam (3-4 pages); final paper (4-5 pages); in-class multiple-choice final exam. Grade: 50% take-home exams (25% each); 30% final exam; 10% in-class final exam; 10% participation in class discussions.
