Holocaust and Genocide

Early Summer Session 2 | 3 credits | Study Tour:

After the Holocaust, members of the international community said ‘never again,’ yet numerous cases of genocide have occurred since then, causing the 20th century to be termed ‘the century of genocide.’ This course and study tour analyze the causes and consequences of genocide. Specific cases of genocide and near-genocide, including the Holocaust, will be studied along with issues such as perpetrator profiles, commemoration, and genocide prevention.
