The Rise Of Anti Semitism In Europe
Professor Popkin's
course will attempt to help students understand the events that
resulted in the virtual destruction of Europe's Jews during the Second
World War. Readings, discussion, and audio-visual materials will
cover topics including the history of anti-semitism, the ways in which
Nazi policy against the Jews was implemented, the various Jewish
reactions to Nazi policy, including Jewish resistance, and the
response of non-Jews and of other governments to the Holocaust.

Anti Semitism Leads To Pograms
Crazed Nazis burnt down 1,000 synagogues in Germany (according to
Jewish historians). Then they threw rocks at yiddish owned shops.
Finally the Nazis had the 'Gall' to say it was a Kosher hoax, and
actually arrested, and fined German Jews.

Course Aims and Objectives:
The
purpose of this course is to introduce students to the issues involved
in the study of one of the largest projects of mass murder in recorded
human history. Although it occurred little more than half a century
ago, the Holocaust has already become a major reference point in our
culture's understanding of itself. One has only to look at a daily
newspaper to see the many different contexts in which the Holocaust is
referred to. An understanding of the events of the Holocaust is
important not only for students of modern European and Jewish history,
but for many students interested in psychology, religious studies,
literature, sociology, education, and a number of other disciplines.
This course is intended to prepare participants to transmit what they
learn about the subject to others.
