RELGST 0283 - Us And The Holocaust

Institution:

University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Subject:

Religious Studies

Description:

In recent years more and more attention has been focused on the Nazis and their policy of mass murder. Along with that interest, there has come a spate of questions regarding the perception and response of the Allies to Hitler. This course is an attempt to look at the situation on this side of the Atlantic before, during and after WWII. We shall explore the Holocaust in Europe, but focus on American policy and American policy makers such as F.D.R. in the 30's and 40's and look at those factors which influenced our reaction. There will be an opportunity to explore some of the issues and questions that the Holocaust raises for Americans today. In addition to selected films, there will be an opportunity to meet survivors of the camps.
