— Rise of N Socialism &Holocaust

Catalog description

After their disastrous defeat in World War I, Germany looked for a solution to their rampant unemployment, devastating inflation, and lack of leadership. Some argued that Germany did not lose the war militarily, but that a betrayal by the “November Criminals” proved to be the culprit for Germany’s surrender and eventual collapse under the conditions of the dreaded Treaty of Versailles. “The Rise of National Socialism and the Holocaust” investigates this turbulent period of history where the world would be engulfed in another world war at the hands of an ideology that professed hate for one particular ethnic group – the Jews. Covering the period in European history from 1919 to 1945, “The Rise of National Socialism and the Holocaust” will begin with the origins of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party and culminating with the total hynosis of the German people into believing that their destiny lay in the promotion of anti-Semitism, the theories of eugenics, and the glorification of the “Aryan Master Race.” 3.00 Lecture Hours 0.00 Lab Hours 3.00 Credit Hours Special Topics Course
