History 220 - The Holocaust

Institution:

Moravian University

Subject:

Description:

Discusses the persecution and mass killing of European Jews by Nazi Germany. Describes anti-Semitism in historical context and explores the complexities of ultimate moral choices by asking how a cultured civilization produced mass killers and an educated class went unprotesting to its extermination. Students will explore the experience of those who were sent to the camps, how they constructed a kind of everyday life, and how gender infl uenced their experience. Finally, we study how and why the world outside Germany-foreign governments, intellectuals, religious and humanitarian groups-reacted to or failed to confront the Holocaust. (U2) Lempa
