What is Holocaust Studies
Holocaust Studies is the interdisciplinary study of the events that led up to and encompass the Holocaust.

Holocaust Studies programs focus primarily on history, sociology, psychology, literature, Jewish studies, international development, political science and intercultural studies in order for students to fully comprehend the complex subject matter. Some Holocaust Studies programs may also provide students the opportunity to examine xenophobia, racism, and governmental abuses of power and how these topics related to the Holocaust. Many Holocaust Studies programs will also include Genocide Studies, which explores Jewish genocide during the Holocaust as well as the genocide of other groups of peoples by Nazi Germany. Recent issues in genocide may also be discussed depending on the educational program.
