The Holocaust: An Introduction 2900-L-HP-OG
“At first sight the destruction of the Jews may have the appearance of an indivisible, monolithic, and impenetrable event,” wrote Raul Hilberg, one of the pioneers of Holocaust Studies. He also noticed that upon closer observation one begins to see a sequence of events. Through reading and discussing selected academic works pertaining to the history of the Holocaust, the course invites the participants to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the complexity of the Holocaust. The course is fully based on secondary literature reading and aims at introducing students to core problems addressed by the historiography of the Holocaust. While selecting reading material, special attention has been paid to texts focusing on the Holocaust in the General Government and texts that initiated scholarly and media debates.
This course is funded by the Claims Conference University Partnership Program in Holocaust Studies.
