Hitler's rise to power and the racial objectives in his Nazi program led to the systematic murder of millions of innocent victims. In a search for meaning and conscience in this cataclysmic event, the student will encounter additional material covering other genocides and genocidal events, e.g. The Armenian and Cambodian genocides, genocidal actions in Rwanda, Bosnia, etc. The student must attend at least two programs given by the Center for Holocaust Education.
