The aim of the course is to offer an introduction into the study of the Holocaust, the destruction of the European Jews, its causes and mechanisms. A basis upon which to seek answers to difficult questions, such as why this tragedy occurred, is provided. But, by surveying the circumstances and mechanisms leading to genocide, and especially to the Holocaust, students are also oriented in post-war interpretations and debates. A second aim is to introduce the effects of the Holocaust; in what way has the Holocaust effected post-war political and cultural discourses and why did interest in this tragedy take so long to develop? Related to these questions is the third aim, which is to place the Holocaust in the context of other genocides committed before and after.
