Five Fundamental Chapters in the History of the Holocaust & How We Teach Them I

Catalog description

This online, synchronous course will raise and examine five crucial questions whose thoughtful consideration is fundamental for all students of the Holocaust. From Nazi ideology and antisemitism through the anguish of liberation, we will examine the dilemmas and choiceless choices confronted by the Jews throughout the 12 years of the Holocaust. Using Echoes and Reflections, text study, film, and discussion, four faculty members from Israel's Yad Vashem, including senior historian Dr. Robert Rozett, will guide you in using methodologies and materials designed to help your students understand this watershed.
