HIST 264 - JEWS IN 20TH CENTURY EUROPE
Just over 50 years ago, the history of the Jews in Europe almost ended. Nazi Germany in World War Two murdered more than 6 million Jews and countless others lost their families, their livelihoods and/or were displaced from their homes. Anti-Semitism, defined by Websler’s as hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group, took on the dubious distinction ofbeing a paradigm for racial hatred throughout the world. The dark shadow of the Holocaust continues to hang over our civilization. And yet, the history of the Jews in Europe did not begin and end in Auschwitz. We need to know both how we got there and what happened afterward. Therefore, this course will delve into the profound social, political, and economic transformation of Jewish life in 20“ century Europe. Topics will include: the legacy of emancipation, the rise of modern anti-Semitism, the impact of modernization, the effects of political re-configuration, the rise of socialism, Zionism, destruction and renewal after l945. As part of the Global Awareness category of General Education at Ramapo College, this course enables students to explore diversity across a spectrum of differences, and seeks to understand how their actions affect both local and global communities. Students equipped with this understanding can address the world‘s most pressing and enduring issues collaboratively and equitably.
