HIS 220: Film and History: Visions and Revisions of the Past
3.00 Credits
Cedar Crest College
From "Schindler’s List" to "Valkyrie," historically based films have been attracting big box office receipts. This course introduces students to the historical fiction film as a work of creative art and to the techniques filmmakers use to construct their "vision" of past events. Through critical analysis of several dramatic films that take historical events as their subjects, students learn that what they see on screen is not necessarily what happened, but rather what might have happened. Films studied include "The Leopard," "Burnt by the Sun," "Rosenstrasse," "1900,"and "Sunshine." For non-Honors students, permission of instructor required.

3.00 Credits
Cedar Crest College
Provides students with a critical understanding of German history from the middle of the 19th century to the present and of Germany’s impact on the European Continent. A central focus is whether or not Germany’s historical development followed a divergent path from that of England, France and America and, if so, for what reasons and with what consequences. Since the Cold War and with reunification, Germany’s efforts to fashion a new leadership role in Europe and in other international political and economic contexts are examined. Substantial attention is directed to problems of history, memory and responsibility that continue to occupy Germans today.

HIS 251: Soviet and Post-Soviet Russia
3.00 Credits
Cedar Crest College
An exploration of the historical development of Russia and the Soviet Union from the eve of the 1917 Revolution to the present. Students are encouraged to study the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union as global powers, well before the more familiar role the USSR played as America’s principal adversary during the Cold War. With post-Soviet Russia seeking to define its place in world affairs, students will learn how this task is complicated by the enormous historical deficits accumulated through the years of Communist rule. Students have opportunities to research subjects of special interest, including the use of comparative perspectives on politics, economics, social relations, and culture.
