Course Description:
Spanning multiple continents and lasting nearly a decade, the Second World War remade the world order, at the cost of millions of lives and massive destruction. This course will follow the war from its various beginnings, through multiple genocides, its atomic end and beyond. We will examine not only the military battles, but also life on the Home Front and under foreign occupation, resistance movements, the Holocaust and other genocides, and the various civil wars which were fought under the larger World War umbrella. Sources include scholarly texts, memoirs and film.
