HIS 330 The Holocaust
The focus of this course is to review the facts and attempt to answer the soul-searching questions of the Holocaust in order to provide an interpretation of the past that can help shape the present and the future. How could it have happened? How could a modern state destroy innocent men, women, and children just because of their religion/race? Why did so many people allow themselves to be killed? How could the modern world let this mass execution take place? Can and will history repeat itself? There are no easy answers to these questions, but this course invites students to look deeply at these troubling issues.
