Contents
The Holocaust stands as one of the most formative moments of the twentieth century. A number of artists have taken on the difficult task of representing some of the events. In this course, we will look at both literary and cinematic works dealing with the Holocaust. Topics such as memory, remembrance, the ethics of writing, and the limits of representation will structure the course discussions. In addition to the texts listed below, we will read shorter texts made available through StudOn. We will also compare verbal representations to cinematic treatments of the Holocaust, including Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (2009).

Recommended literature
Texts (required): Martin Amis, Time’s Arrow; D.M. Thomas, The White Hotel; Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces; Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated; John Boyne, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
