The minor in Holocaust Studies combines historical background with an interdisciplinary exploration of the Holocaust through film, literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and other history offerings. The following curriculum will help students develop a firm knowledge of the Holocaust as an event and an understanding of its precipitating factors and legacy.
