HUM 111The Holocaust
Literature and film emerge from the most profound of human experiences. In the 20th century, perhaps the most profound of those experiences was the Holocaust. The scope of hatred, deadlines of purpose, and organization of mass murder raise questions which have become more and more disturbing even as we move away from the event. This course examines not only the roots and nature of the Holocaust, but also how internationally known writers and filmmakers have reacted to the event. Note: Fulfills SUNY-GE Humanities. No prerequisite. Offered on: A-E-G / 3 cr. hrs.
This course will explore and develop an understanding of the distinctive belief systems of seven of the major religions in the world today: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, and Taoism.

The course will enable students to understand the defining, core beliefs that have emerged from those religious mythologies and cosmological perspectives and the resulting attitudes on the part of each religious tradition toward contemporary issues such as the role of women, exclusivist claims, spiritual practices and moral obligations.
