The Holocaust Studies

The Holocaust refers to the systematic genocide of six million Jews, along with millions of others, including Romani people, disabled individuals, Poles, and political dissidents, by the Nazi regime in Germany from 1941 to 1945. Holocaust studies examine the historical, social, and ethical implications of this atrocity, focusing on the causes, events, and consequences. Scholars analyze personal testimonies, survivor narratives, and the broader impact on society, culture, and memory. The field aims to promote understanding, prevent future genocides, and educate about tolerance and human rights, ensuring that such horrors are neither forgotten nor repeated.
