The Holocaust

Crosslistings: GERM296
Not Currently Offered
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.
