This course examines the origins of World War II, the nature of warfare in the 20th century, the consequences on the global community, and along with the social and political circumstances that gave rise to the war. The study of the Holocaust and other genocides will allow the student to recognize the patterns of dehumanization and understand how it reinforces hate and violence towards targeted groups. Students will also examine what happens when individuals and governments fail to take a stand against human injustice.
