Fall 2021: The Holocaust and Genocide
This course will explore some of the darkest and most difficult to understand topics in recent human history - the Holocaust and other genocide events of the 20th century. Our course will explore the complex historical factors which produced genocide events. We will also examine the stories of those who fought repressive regimes and spoke out against genocidal leaders, seeking to understand how confronting these issues in the past may help us confront human cruelty in the present.
