Holocaust studies
Nazi atrocity education
Holocaust studies is an interdisciplinary academic field examining the systematic persecution and murder of six million Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II, along with the genocide of Roma, disabled people, and other targeted groups.
The field draws on history, sociology, psychology, literature, and philosophy to understand how the Holocaust happened, its lasting effects on survivors and their descendants, and its broader implications for humanity.
