Course Title:
HOLOCAUST IN HISTORY (THE)
Course Number:
DHIS 25A01
Course Description:
More and more, the Holocaust is perceived and assessed as one of the seminal event of the 20. Century in Europe. If its consequences were not clearly embraced in the immediate after war, the long shadow of genocide shapes today's culture and politics. This course aims at presenting some main themes in the growing field of Holocaust studies. Themes will be on the Holocaust itself, its general interpretations, the question of victims, of perpetrators, the technologies of mass killings, but also on the consequences of genocide (justice, memorials, testimonies). It is a history class, with some interdisciplinarity: politics, literature, psychology will also be used in class. A specific attention will be dedicated to the digital aspects of Holocaust learning, documentation and memory.
