來自大屠杀:欧洲犹太人的灭顶之灾的熱門評論
Lots of work, only 3 short papers, but lots of reading. Very interesting and enjoyable. Really went into depth with lots of history and literature discussed. Informative lectures.
I want to say how much I especially enjoyed Dr Kenez and his very clear and concise lectures on the historical aspects of the subject matter. Thank you very much. Richard Kilgore
The presentations raise vital questions , dis-aggregates historical experience and has generated interest in me to study the issues further . Many thanks to the Professors.
Took this course for job purposes. It is great for everyone, although I believe that people with some background in comparative literature will benefit from it the most,
