Beschrijving
This mandatory course (6ECTS) is part of the MA program "Holocaust and Genocide Studies" (NIOD/UvA)While Holocaust research was first primarily conducted by intellectuals who had been in exile during the Nazi era and survivor scholars who had emigrated after the war, more scholars than ever before are engaged in the field of Holocaust studies today. The magnitude of the event, the countless number of sources, and the frequent reinterpretation of these sources have resulted in a flourishing field of studies. In this course, the most recent trends as well as the major debates and controversies in Holocaust historiography are discussed. It uses secondary literature, primary sources, oral histories, photographs, art, and literature to examine a wide range of themes, including Jewish responses during the Holocaust, the knowledge contemporaries had of the mass murder of the Jews, and the meaning and usage of photographs of the Holocaust from an interdisciplinary perspective.
