Course Description:Debórah Dwork
Debates about the “Refugee Question” shaped government policies and peoples’ lives across the continent of Europe throughout the 1930s and 1940s. The aim of Refugees during the Nazi Era will be to explore the impact of these debates on the lives of individual asylum seekers. What were the national and international responses to communists, anti-Nazi intellectuals, and Jews targeted by Hitler’s Third Reich? How did people manage to flee? What were their lives like when they reached their host country? And how does this history help us understand the news we hear today?

Debórah Dwork, Rose Professor of Holocaust History and Founding Director of the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University, is a pioneer in the recording and study of survivor testimonies. Visiting Scholar, Bildner Center Fall 2019.
