HENG 355 - Honors Eng:Lit of Holocaust

Institution:

Cabrini University - Closed

Subject:

Honors English

Description:

This Honors course examines the literature of the Jewish Holocaust and, specifically, writing by Holocaust survivors (Jewish and non-Jewish) whose work defines the culture of remembrance we associate with this historical event. By looking at the work of writers like Elie Wiesel, Anne Frank, Viktor Frankl, Primo Levi, and others-and by examining other media (shtetl diaries, photographs, and film)-we will, as a class, develop an understanding of the political, spiritual, and aesthetic dimensions of this work and its informing influence on cultures around the world. Through committed study of the period, students will better appreciate our human capacity for hate and the redemptive powers of love, forgiveness, and art. Course enrollment is limited to Honors students. 3 credits
