Description:

Datta NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. Few experiences in recent French history have marked French collective memory as profoundly as World War II. During these years, the French dealt not only with the trauma of defeat and the German Occupation, but also with the divisive lega-cy of the collaborationist Vichy regime, headed by Marshal Philippe Pétain, a revered World War I hero. Memories of the war have contin-ued to mark the public imagination to the present day, manifesting themselves in the various arenas of French national life. This course examines the history and memory of the French experience of World War II through historical documents, memoirs, films, literature, and songs. Does not count toward the minimum major in French. Prerequisite: None Distribution: Historical Studies Semester: N/O Unit: 1.0
