The study of the Holocaust offers more than an opportunity to acquire knowledge about a singular historical event. It provides an opportunity to examine a range of broader issues, such as antisemitism, racism, xenophobia, militarism, homophobia, and the formation and functioning of stereotypes. It provides important insight into behaviors such as obedience to authority, conformity, altruism, and civil courage. A minor in Holocaust Studies is an excellent complement to any major at UVM.
The Holocaust Studies minor draws on courses from a range of academic disciplines, including history, sociology, film and television studies, and literary studies. See the minor requirements page for a list of regularly applicable courses and the See Also list in the Schedule of Courses (Classic Version) for semester-specific offerings.
