The Holocaust: New Historical Approaches (HIST0842)

More than 75 years after the liberation of Auschwitz and the end of the Holocaust—the systematic mass murder of six million European Jews, as well as homosexuals, communists, Roma and Sinti, and other victims during the Second World War—the subject still generates extensive discussion and controversy, in intellectual circles as well as in the wider world. Drawing on classic scholarship as well as recent historiography in the field, this module will survey the origins and implementation of the genocide, from the establishment of the Nazi state through to the implementation of the ‘Final Solution’. In addition to Nazi policy, we will explore victims’ experiences of daily life in ghettos and camps through surviving diaries, chronicles, memoirs, and other texts. We will also tackle some of the questions that still challenge our understanding of the Holocaust today, such as: What was the role of ‘ordinary’ Germans and other local civilians in the implementation of the genocide? Was the Holocaust unique? What are the politics of memory and commemoration?
