Minorities and Israeli Cinema (3) Since its early days, Israeli cinema has played a dual role: while serving as a means by which to forge a national identity it has also given voice to marginalized groups and undermined the imagined Israeli collective. This course explores some of the radical transformations Israel has gone through in the past few decades - transformations that have lead to a much more pluralistic and diverse society - through their representations on the screen. It considers the representations of a range of racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual groups across Israeli's recent history and across its cinema.

The Holocaust (3) This course for advanced undergraduate students will focus on the actual history and the historiography of the Holocaust. After discussion some of the most important studies about the Holocaust and the main historiography debates, we will look at the origins and the evolution of the "Final Solution." The class will touch on the function of the "Ghettos," the role of the mobile killing units, the extermination camps, and Jewish resistance. Apart from discussion the historiography, we will work mostly with primary sources: documents created by the perpetrators, bystanders, and victims; files relating to postwar trials of perpetrators; photograpyhs; representations of objects relating to the Holocaust; memoirs by survivors; interviews with survivors and bystanders. Students are expected to do extensive reading for this class and prepare oral presentations on their respective paper topic. The research paper for this course will be based largely on primary sources.
