About This Course
In this newly revised and re-imagined series, we begin with a study of European anti-Judaism, which was the prelude to the Holocaust. Through images and film, we trace the oldest hatred to the revolutions of the mid-19th century. Then we follow the arc of anti-Judaism through World War I and the economic turmoil of the 1930s. We consider the forces that shaped the Nazi Party, brought Adolf Hitler the chancellorship of Germany, and prepared the ground for genocide. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
