IS/PL 358 Group in Front of Former Berlin Wall
This course studied mass violence within the context of the Holocaust, the Rwandan Genocide of 1994 and the Bosnian Civil War and Genocide of the mid- to late-1990s. With visits to two concentrations camps just outside Berlin (Sachsenhausen and Ravensbrück), the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin and a number of other sites, the aftermath and memory of systematic violence was closely encountered and discussed.
