Anne Frank is a seminal Holocaust voice. We will read not only her diary, but also her many essays, short stories, and the five chapters of the novel she never completed. So, too, will we read the diary and letters of Etty Hillesum, whose slightly older and equally crucial Holocaust voice was silenced in Auschwitz. Both women's lives and work will be examined against the backdrop of the Nazi invasion of Holland and the Dutch response, both rescue efforts and collaboration.

This course explores the causes and consequences of what was arguably the most horrific event in all of history. Topics include both the long-term origins of the Holocaust in European racism and anti-Semitism and the more immediate origins in the dynamics of the Nazi state and the war against the Soviet Union.
