JWST 3700
History of the Holocaust

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course will analyze the meaning of the Holocaust from three vantage points: that of European history; that of Jewish history; and that of those states and religious institutions that shared responsibility by having stood by in silence.  Topics include:  the  evolution of modern anti-Semitism, the role of anti-Semitism in the Nazi ideology and program; the bureaucratization of death; Jewish life in ghettos and concentration  camps; the fate of Jews in occupied Europe and the question collaboration; Jewish political behavior under duress; the responses of the Western allies and the Churches; contemporary interpretations of the Holocaust and the meaning of evil.

When Offered Fall.
