Description: This course is centered on class discussion of the readings. There will be little lecture time. We will focus on the history of the Soviet Union's struggle with Nazi Germany from 1941-1945, the largest and bloodiest military conflict in human history. Readings will deal with the Holocaust, the history of military operations, the Red Army's 'learning curve' in its battle with the Wehrmacht, and everyday life on Nazi-occupied territory as well as the Soviet 'home front.' Viewing and discussion of documentary and fictional films will be a significant part of the class.
Offered: Fall Spring Summer
