Holocaust and Genocide Studies Program

In association with the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center, which has its base of operations at the College and which maintains offices and a resource center open to the campus community, an interdisciplinary faculty committee oversees a minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Although the program focuses on the destruction of European Jewry between 1933 and 1945, it also includes a range of topics dealing with human rights abuses and genocide. Faculty and students are welcome to attend the seminars and lectures sponsored by the Holocaust Education Center, which brings leading educators, scholars, and writers to the campus.

Committee

Peter Gardella (Chair), Lawson Bowling, James E. Jones, Norton Shargel, Irene Whelan, Marlene Yahalom
