Journalists, writers and artists are dealing with history of holocaust /shoa/ either from the global perspective or through the particular topics, sites of memory and persons. Thanks to digitalization projects, new methodologies and financing of the memory institutions it is possible to develop a field of the public history as well. This course aims to deal with European Jews in the modern history and with their relations with non-Jewish society from the late 18th century until the end of the World War II and its aftermath.
