Courses
HIST 3729: The Third Reich and Hitler's Europe
Fall semester: MWF: 1:25-2:15
History 3729 will examine the Nazi dictatorship in all its complex dimensions, from the early life of Adolf Hitler to total war and genocide. Students will explore how the Nazi movement arose in the context of modern German and European history, and how the Nazis were able to win the support of significant segments of the German population. We will study the Nazis' massive project of social and biological engineering -- pronatalism, forced sterilization, extermination of "social and biological deviants," and, ultimately, the genocide of the Jews. Through memoirs, state documents, and historical accounts, the class will examine life from the vantage point of perpetrators, accommodators, victims, and resisters.

resistance. Theological responses of Jews and Christians.FREN 3650: Topics in French/Francophone Cultures
Fall 2007 course on Post-Holocaust France: Competition for Victimhood. In recent years, debates have erupted in France concerning the traumas endured by the parents and ancestors of French Muslims and other French nationals of African descent. A legacy of France's involvement in the Atlantic slave-trade and of the colonization of North and West Africa which ended with Algerian independence in 1962, French ethnic minorities are claiming official recognition and the status of victims of the French Republic.
