This course will deal with the long-term causes of the Holocaust--seen as the culmination of twenty centuries of anti-Semitism--and the short-term late 19th-century and 20th century causes (including World War I, World War II, German and European politics, the role of Hitler and the Nazi Party, and the rest of the world). |

Strangely, history often only finds words for its events after the fact. This is especially true with the concept of ?genocide,? a term that was not actually used until 1943, despite the fact that genocides had been happening from the outset of human history. This course compares perhaps the most infamous case of genocide, the Holocaust, with other notable genocides throughout history, such as those in North and South America, Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda, and Yugoslavia, among others. We will identify and describe the moments in history in which these various acts of genocide took place and explain why and how they could have occurred in that specific historical period, cite examples of and discuss the main individuals and groups who were victims, perpetrators, bystanders, and rescuers in each situation, interpret the impacts of these genocides on the targeted group(s), and debate whether genocides could possibly happen in the future and how they could be prevented. |
