ANTH 5525 - The Holocaust and Disability:Legacies of Nazi Persecution

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

Knowledge about the Nazi campaigns to systematically persecute and murder people with disabilities during and after World War II has not permeated the dominant cultural consciousness to any appreciable degree. While these crimes do not represent new information, the field of Holocaust studies often shows a lack of clarity as to the cause of these particular crimes and their place in the Nazis' social construction of reality. This class will critically engage materials from Holocaust and disability studies. By reading texts as cultural artifacts, current understandings of the Holocaust and the crimes against people with disabilities will be deepened and reconfigured.
