Holocaust Studies

Confront issues of prejudice, racism, stereotyping, silence and apathy.

Albright’s minor in Holocaust Studies offers a cross-disciplinary framework for the investigation of ethical and moral choices.

About the Program

Through a combination of historical, literary and religious case studies, students can expect to develop an awareness of the value of tolerance in a pluralistic society — one that extends beyond Judaism and anti-Semitism to include other social groups by challenging bigotry and exclusion in any form.
