HIS 166 - The Holocaust

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

A course in the history and interpretation of the Holocaust,the killing of approximately six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators during World War II. The course will investigate the evolution, implementation, and the aftermath of "Final Solution," the Nazi's plan to exterminate the world's Jews. We well also pay attention to other groups persecuted during the Holocaust, either because of their perceived "radical inferiority" (Gypsies, the handicapped, some of the Slavic peoples), or on some political or behavioral grounds (homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, socialists, communists). Our main focus, however, will be the Jews- the Nazi regime's principal targets. The course will use a variety of primary materials, including film, music, memoirs, painting, poetry, as well as scholarly literature, from the perspective of victims, perpetrators, bystanders and postwar intellectuals. Prerequisite of HIS 4 or permisssion of instructor is required.
