Course summary

Explore the Holocaust as an historical event and as 'negative heritage' from 1945 to the present. You’ll look at the different ways in which the Holocaust has been explored, discussed and presented. You'll also develop the subject skills to carry out original historical research and build the foundation for postgraduate research.

The National Socialist genocide of the Jews during the Second World War is a focus for many institutes, museums, heritage foundations and education programmes. You'll gain the skills to pursue careers in areas such as Holocaust education, outreach, heritage curation, public history and commemoration.

Our course is designed by the internationally recognised The Parkes Institute for the study of Jewish and non-Jewish relations.

Highlights of this course include:

  • access to our unique archive of Jewish modern history
  • an optional field trip including a visit to a European Holocaust heritage institution or museum
  • specialist modules on the Holocaust in art, film, literature and music or transnational movement in the age of globalisation
  • practical workshops on the curation of Holocaust objects delivered in collaboration with external partners
  • optional modules outside of History, including a foreign language
