ARLT 337 - Perspectives on the Holocaust

3 credits
This course provides multiple perspectives on the Holocaust, the near extermination of European Jewry and the brutal persecution of an extended mosaic of victims. As a watershed event, the Holocaust has radically affected our fundamental conceptions of the nature of human nature, the dimensions of evil, the existence of God, the power of bearing literary witness, the moral and political outlook for the future. Readings span the disciplines of history, psychology, literature, theology, and political science, each providing its own distinctive illumination as presented by a faculty member within the discipline, who lectures and participates at appointed sessions in interdisciplinary discussions. Course requirements include papers, journal entries, and a field trip to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Same as HOLST+33 Course may be repeated. Same as: HOLST+33
