Topic may vary from semester to semester. The course may be repeated for credit.

This course on Nazi Germany and the Second World War is designed to accommodate both beginner and intermediate students who have an interest in the most catastrophic war of human history. The focus is on origins and outcomes of the conflict, wartime diplomacy, the strategic and operational aspects of the struggle, the impact of the war on the major civilian societies, the ideological dimensions of the conflict, the problem of moral judgment under the stress of war, and the Holocaust. While the focus of the course will be on the period 1939-1945, the course will also examine, in some depth, the diplomatic and military origins of the war in the interwar period.

Voraussetzung: Anwesenheit bei der Vorbesprechung am 31. Mai 2017 um 17:00 Uhr im Raum 4U102b 

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.

Die Anrechnung der Kurse der UNO-IBK International Summer School muss von den Studierenden selbst vorab mit den zuständigen StudiendekanInnen geklärt werden. Diese allein entscheiden über die Anerkennung der belegten Kurse für das jeweilige Studienfach. Es wird empfohlen, sich einen Vorabbescheid über die Anerkennung der Kurse ausstellen zu lassen.
