Jewish and Israel Studies

This course takes a historical approach to understanding the attempt to exterminate the Jews of Europe between 1941 and 1945, together with its background and long-term consequences. The course focuses especially on Germany, where the attempt originated, and Eastern Europe, where most of its intended victims lived and where the ghettos and killing programs were established; but attention is also paid to the varying fates of the Jews elsewhere in occupied Europe, such as in France.
