HIS 2105 – Holocaust and Memory
Credits:
The course aims to explain how the Holocaust happened, how ordinary men became ruthless killers and how everybody else let it go on; this story remains one of the most perplexing issues of the twentieth century, if not all of history. The frame of the discussion will be an overview of history of Nazism in Europe and consideration of such issues as the problems of doing Holocaust history, representations of the Holocaust, and Holocaust memory. The course also aims to interrogate the emerging field created by the intersection of Jewish Studies and memory to study the literary and artistic representation of the Holocaust. The course covers the topics of how Memory of Holocaust is inscribed, framed, mediated and performed. The course also consists of field trips to the Jewish monuments of Hungary and to the major memorial sites.
Multicultural; Social, Cultural, and Historical Understanding.
