HIST 4770 - Perspectives on the Holocaust: Sources and Interpretation
This seminar-style course introduces students to working closely with, researching, and writing and speaking about Holocaust-related sources. After a brief overview of the Nazi period and the Holocaust, discussions focus on five major themes: the diversity of Jewish experience during the Holocaust; gender and the Holocaust; the perspectives of perpetrators and bystanders/enablers; comparisons between diaries and memoirs in order to explore how memory influences understanding of past events; and representations of the Holocaust in literature and the arts since 1945. Students also develop their skills in academic writing, research and textual analysis, and participate in complex debates about past events and their impact on the present.
