ENG-108: Literature of the Holocaust

Course Description

Studying the literature of the Holocaust, students will examine the societal factors that led to the systematic and state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jewish men, women, and children, as well as to the targeted persecution and murder of other groups perceived as racially or biologically inferior by the Nazis, such as the Roma, gay men, and people with disabilities. Reading, analyzing, and reflecting on works of literature, including poetry, memoir, fiction, and film, by authors from a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives, students will deepen their understanding of how the intersectionality of race, gender, and class affects the formation of individual and group identities. Students will also consider concepts such as power and subjugation, complicity and resistance, and memory and forgiveness in the context of the Holocaust.
