Holocaust and Genocide Studies Minor

An interdisciplinary faculty committee oversees a minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Although the minor 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 nearby Holocaust Education Center, which brings leading educators, scholars, and writers to the area.

Committee

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