Description

This course examines the literature that reflects upon the extermination of 6,000,000 Jews during the Holocaust of World War II. The literature stands as testimony to the broad range of Holocaust experiences, both sorrowful and inspirational. These events are re-experienced through fiction, dramatic works, memoirs, diaries, film and guest lecturers, and artists. It includes selected works by men and women, Jews and non-Jews, figures famous and unknown, eyewitnesses, survivors, and second- and third-generation writers. 3/0/0
