HIST 2375 - War, Genocide & the HolocaustCredit Hours: 4.00
Prerequisites: None
(formerly HIST 2913)
The purpose of this course is to better understand the origins, development, conduct, and legacy of the Holocaust and other genocides that have occurred in the 20th century. It explores the historical, religious, political, cultural, and ideological roots of the systematic and state‑sponsored mass murder by the Nazi’s of millions of Jews, Gypsies, the physically and mentally disabled, homosexuals, political and religious dissidents and the Slavic peoples of Poland and Russia who were portrayed in Nazi propaganda as racially inferior. Although the Holocaust seems far removed from our contemporary experience, it is a defining moment in world history and the archetype of more recent genocides.
