HIST 273 - Life Under Occupation

Examines life under German occupation critically. The life of Jews under German occupation clearly was different than the life of their gentile neighbors, but what is equally true but not so obvious is the difference in occupation regimes across Europe. To highlight that fact and the embedded issues, the course will focus on Poland, France, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Denmark. Particular attention will be paid to the history of France, because of the division between the north and south, and the role of Petain and Vichy.
