HIST 7140 - The Holocaust: What We Know Now

3 cr.

More than half a century after the end of the Holocaust, we have learned much about the causes, organization, and terrible consequences of the genocide of European Jews, but a massive outpouring of research continues to add to and modify our knowledge of this event. This class focuses on the Holocaust and on making use of new findings. The class will integrate the latest research to provide students with the most recent knowledge and to introduce current and emerging historical debates. The class will also discuss how we can apply this new information to build on past findings.
