LITERATURE OF THE HOLOCAUST AND EASTERN EUROPE

Catalog description

This course examines the challenge ¿ and some say the ¿problem¿ ¿ of responses to catastrophe. Works written and created by Jewish and non-Jewish survivors, as well as, those more removed from the immediate events, are read. One focus of this course is to consider the often-repeated insistence that silence is the only proper response to the horror of the Shoah.
