Undergraduate students of all subjects with an academic background that qualifies them to participate in the course are welcome to apply. Students should have a strong interest in the various aspects of German history.
In two World Wars in the first half of the 20th century, Germany tried to dominate the globe, and all major decisions were made in the capital city of Berlin.
Why was Germany such an aggressive power until 1945? How did Hitler manage to gain and keep power? Why were many Germans Nazis and deeply racist? How was the life of ordinary people during the war? Why did the Nazis kill millions of Jews and other innocent people in concentration camps? What were the long-term effects of World War II? What happened to the Nazis after the war?
The course will provide answers to such questions via readings of texts from political science, sociology, and history while also taking the opportunity to explore the grounds on which the events between 1933 and 1945 took place.
