Holocaust and Genocide Studies

Holocaust and Genocide Studies is an academic field that examines the systematic extermination of groups of people, focusing primarily on the Holocaust during World War II, when six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis. This discipline explores the causes, processes, and consequences of genocides, as well as the social, cultural, and political factors that foster such atrocities. It aims to understand and educate about these events to promote awareness, prevent future genocides, and honor the memory of victims. The field also advocates for human rights and the importance of tolerance and diversity in society.
