How It Works
2 CEUs, equivalent to 20 Contact Hours/PDUs
Take a deep and complex look at the Holocaust and what’s happened in its wake since WWII ended. After exploring the time periods before and during the Holocaust, we’ll shift focus to the denial movement in the US and Europe that has cropped up in the wake of this horrific event. Through an exploration of the subject through various media, we’ll grapple intensely with questions about the importance of history and the role of scholarship.
