SPRING 2024 HIGH SCHOOL + 3 COLLEGE CREDITS
Introduction to the Holocaust This course serves as a general introduction to the Holocaust. It covers the period from the Nazi seizure of power in Germany in 1933 to the end of World War II in 1945. The course emphasizes the social and political trends that led to the rise of the Nazis, their attempts to create a race-based society, and implications for understanding modern society in general. A special focus of the course is the Nazi murder of nearly 6 million Jews, but also sets these events within the larger context of the mass murder of 14 million non-combatants by the Nazis and Soviets during this period. The course explores the complex and emotionally charged subject of the American response to the Holocaust.
Course dates TBD.
