This course is a social study of the Third Reich. It will investigate the effect of the regime on the people and the impact it had on family life, education, sports, the arts, the churches, the army, justice and Jews, Roma and Sinti and 'undesirables.'Thecourse will analyze how, through propaganda, intimidation, misguided ideology, and hangers-on, a brutal regime effectively permeated the everyday lives of people. How far the average German carried responsibility for most of the unsavory policies of the Third Reich will be examined. The course is a serious study of the evils of Fascism, as practiced in Germany. It is not a glorification of a malevolent regime, but an analysis of how people became part of a violent and corrupt state. Students will be encouraged to look beyond simplistic explanations and explore connections between high and low politics: How did individual groups interact with the Nazi regime? How far did they share common goals? How did the Nazi regime and a particular social group accommodate each other? How did individuals and groups express dissent, and did their opposition have an impact on the regime? This course will partially satisfy the social science Areas of Knowledge requirement. Offered alternate years. Three hours. Mr. Baerent.
