REL 295-03 - Special Topic: Reckoning with the Holocaust

4 credits (Spring)
How might the Holocaust trouble notions of history, testimony and representation? What kinds of ethical, theological, and philosophical traditions might the Holocaust call into question? In the wake of the Holocaust, what must be re-thought? In this course, we grapple with these questions through careful examination of memoir, philosophy, theology, poetry, art, and literature, while considering historical shifts in scholarship about the Holocaust and asking what is at stake in studying the Holocaust today. 

Prerequisite: REL 101 REL 102 REL 103 REL 104 REL 105 , or second-year standing.
