Program Description

Legacies of the Holocaust: History, Memory, Law, and Justice (GST 265)
The systematic murder of six million Jews and five million others by the Nazis during World War II is a defining event of the twentieth century. Drawing on perspectives from a number of disciplines—including history, religion, law, sociology, and psychology—we will attempt to move toward a deeper understanding of the causes, course, and consequences of this world-shattering event. We will focus especially on the legacies of the Holocaust: how it has been, and continues to be, remembered and memorialized in Europe, as well as on the post-WWII tribunals established to bring the perpetrators of such crimes to justice.

The course includes 4 days of intensive on-campus instruction, during which the class will meet up to six hours each day. In addition, films will be screened outside of class time. Following our on-campus study, the class will travel to Holocaust sites, museums and memorials in Poland (Krakow, Lublin, and Warsaw) and Germany (Nuremberg, Weimar, and Berlin). During the spring semester prior to the trip, there will be regular email exchange among members of the class, and the class will meet three times to prepare for the travel portion of the course. The course includes extensive travel to sites that will challenge the participants intellectually and emotionally, including former Nazi camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka; sites related to Oskar Schindler, the Warsaw Ghetto, and the Nuremberg trials; and many thought-provoking memorials. There will also be ample time to enjoy the rich sights and sounds of the vibrant cities we visit.
