Course: Learning About the Holocaust, Part 1 (OSH-HLOCST1)

What is the effect on people when their right to live is taken away by their government? "The Holocaust was a systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and collaborators" (USHMM). How did the unthinkable become reality through government and law? By the end of World War II the Nazi regime, and its collaborators, murdered over 11 million people. Six million of these men, women, and children were Jews.

Studying the Holocaust is the study of many issues that are part of the history of the United States including the Nazis' use of racial laws in the American South as a model for the famous Nurenberg Laws, how the pseudo-science of eugenics was part of worldwide thinking, and how the shadow of antisemitism continues to darken the world today
