In our rapidly-changing world, the study of the Holocaust remains a dynamic field of research and education.

Facilitated by Dr. Doris Bergen, author of War and Genocide, this workshop explores the evolving landscape of Holocaust studies and fosters conversations on mindful teaching approaches.

Join educators from across the state as we learn how we can embrace integrated histories, support the perspectives of marginalized voices, and responsibly connect the Holocaust to global contexts and other genocides.

ABOUT War & Genocide: A Concise History of the Holocaust

In examining one of the defining events of the twentieth century, Doris L. Bergen situates the Holocaust in its historical, political, social, cultural, and military contexts. Unlike many other treatments of the Holocaust, this revised, second edition discusses not only the persecution of the Jews, but also other segments of society victimized by the Nazis: Gypsies, homosexuals, Poles, Soviet POWs, the handicapped, and other groups deemed undesirable. With clear and eloquent prose, Bergen explores the two interconnected goals that drove the Nazi German program of conquest and genocide―purification of the so-called Aryan race and expansion of its living space―and discusses how these goals affected the course of World War II. Including firsthand accounts from perpetrators, victims, and eyewitnesses, the book is immediate, human, and eminently readable.
