COURSE DETAILSCOURSE DETAILSCOURSE DETAILSCOURSE DETAILS

The aim of 'Holocaust and Genocide' is to encourage an understanding of the phenomenon of

genocide through incidences of mass killing of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and

ways in which people respond to state-sponsored violence. The course predominantly focuses

on an intensive study of the Holocaust, and offers diverse perspectives on the groups of

perpetrators, victims and bystanders. The course also looks closely at other genocides

committed by Nazi Germany during the Second World War (Slavs, religious minorities,

disabled and homosexuals) and in the last part moves on to examine the Holocaust in relation

to other acts of genocide and mass killing during the twentieth and twenty-first century

(Armenian genocide, Yugoslavia and Rwanda).

COURSE AIMSCOURSE AIMSCOURSE AIMSCOURSE AIMS

The aims of this course are:

• To give students an understanding of the history of the Holocaust.

• To give students an understanding of the human behaviour in face of state-sponsored

policies of mass violence against minorities.

• To introduce the main categories of actors during the Holocaust (perpetrators, victims

and bystanders/onlookers).

• To give students an overview of the relation between genocides and armed conflicts

during the twentieth century.

• To give students an introduction to the issues concerning Holocaust representation in

film and literature.

• To present comparative perspectives to the mass violence during the twentieth

century.

At the completion of this course students will be able to:

• By the end of the course students will have a good knowledge concerning the history

of the Holocaust, including its origins and the aftermath. Students will have gained

Page 4 of 27

insights into the ways in which divergent actors (perpetrators, victims and bystanders)

responded to the Nazi organized mass violence during World War 2. They will also

gain knowledge concerning the initiation and execution of the genocidal violence

during the twentieth century. Furthermore, students will have learned:

• to communicate ideas to others in a clear and concise manner, both orally and in

written form

• to approach intellectual questions in a rigorous and academic manner, employing

analytical skills and independent and reflective thinking

• to critically analyse scholarly material

LEARNING AND TEACHINLEARNING AND TEACHINLEARNING AND TEACHINLEARNING AND TEACHING RATIONALEG RATIONALEG RATIONALEG RATIONALE

The purpose of lectures is to give the students an overview of the historical events and

introduce them on major issues of Holocaust historiography. In tutorials students will be

encouraged to engage critically with primary sources and contextualise them with the

secondary readings available before the class. Students will be required to give a short tutorial

presentation (based on the available primary and secondary sources), to undertake

independent research and to write an analytical essay. The knowledge gathered during the

lectures and tutorials and the understanding of the discussed sources will be tested in the final

in-class exam. In this way, students will be able to develop the above skills in the context of

the specific learning offered by this course.

TEACHING STRATEGIESTEACHING STRATEGIESTEACHING STRATEGIESTEACHING STRATEGIES

Over the course of the semester I will use email to send important messages, reminders, or

updates to you. Please make sure that you check your university email account regularly, or

that you set it up to forward your email to another account.

All students will need to have a copy of the reading kit. The reader is available for purchase

from the UNSW Bookshop. Essential reading for each day is set out in the lecture and tutorial

program below. A part of the essential reading is available online (links are provided below),

but other resources will be accessible only in the reading kit. I understand that this is an

intensive course and that you may not have time to prepare readings for every tutorial. Hence

although I hope that all of you will at least check the readings, I expect that only those of you

having tutorial presentations will read all the secondary sources. However, I expect all of you

to be prepared to discuss the primary sources and will be able to contribute to our tutorial

discussions. Further suggested readings are listed as part of the tutorial description and at the

end of the syllabus.
