Description:

The catastrophic Holocaust event of this century destroyed women’s lives as well as men’s. Didwomen view the Holocaust any differently than their brothers, husbands, and sons? Were their coping mechanisms any different? Did more women than men survive? There were women victims, but there were also women bystanders and women perpetrators. How did women understand what was happening around them during the Third Reich? Today, women’s voices from the Holocaust are emerging and are revealing a different perspective. Interviews, writings, artwork and film will be examined in order to better understand, and allow women’s voices to be heard. Prerequisite: RS100A. Satisfies the second institutional requirement in religious and theological studies. Three hours a week.
