New Course Explores How the Holocaust Continues to Affect Nearly Every Field and Person Today – University of Arkansas Newswire
Posted By admin on September 22, 2021
Have you ever wondered how the Holocaust affected education, or politics, or physics?
What about the repercussions it had for your major or minor, or other areas, activities and fields of study you're interested in?
The Nazi genocide against the Jewsduring which many additional marginalized groups were also targeted for persecution and murdermay seem for many a distant horror, since it took place during the time leading up to and over the course of WWII.
But the effects of Nazi propaganda, persecution and industrialized mass murder are still all around usas evidenced in law, business, medicine, policy, politics, language, education and architecture, as well as in how we read, how we look at photographs and films, and even in engineering, math and physics.
Now, a new, unique eight-week, two-credit hour course, JWST 470V, "How did the Holocaust affect ?", beginning Oct. 14, will allow students to explore this and to better understand the many ways the Holocaust shaped our world and continues to affect usall.
In the course, students will hear from an array of U of A scholars on how the Holocaust affected what they do. Featured presenters include:
Recent Ph.D. graduate Matthew Lee will also talk about how the Holocaust affects education, and current Ph.D. candidate Toby Klein will discuss how the Holocaust affects public policy.
Toward the end of the semester, the class will also welcome a speaker from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, to discuss Holocaust reparations and their legacy.
Fundamental to exploring the ongoing effects of the Holocaust is hearing individual voices of those who were targeted and survived. Human rights justice advocate and Holocaust survivor Pieter Kohnstam will also tell his story and answer the class' questions.
JWST 470V, "How did the Holocaust affect ?", is made possible with donor support, allowing the Jewish Studies Program to fairly compensate the labor of the presenters. Such support is crucial for sparking new and underexplored approaches to this and othervital topics.
