Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1945 This course studies the contribution of how Europeans remembered WWI, WWII and the Holocaust towards forging European identity. Post-1945 visions of a unified European identity generated the need for a common assessment and understanding of the two twentieth century world wars that ripped the continent apart. The end of the Cold War, the unification of Germany and the eastward push of the European Union made the need for a shared memory of those wars and the Holocaust even more urgent. We will study the ways that those events were remembered through texts and memorials. Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (Hav: SO, B, A) |
