And the O.A.T. Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: In my mind, nothing is more idyllic than the mountainous landscapes and rural villages of Alpine Europe. To immerse myself in their pastoral traditions and everyday life, I love to explore rural communities like Teglio, a small village nestled in the Valtellina Valley. You’ll see what I mean when you experience A Day in the Life of a small, family-run farm here where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the owner, walk the grounds, lend a hand with the daily farm chores, and share a traditional meal with your hosts in the farmhouse. You’ll also get a taste for some of the other crafts in the Valley when you visit a locally-owned goat cheese producer and a water-powered mill. But the most moving stories of all were the ones I heard directly from the local people I met. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences during a conversation with two political refugeees at a local café in Milan to discuss the deeply divisive issue of immigration in Italy.

  • The Perception of the Shoah in France After 1945 in Sixty Years the Perception of the Shoah Has Evolved Considerably in France
    The Perception of the Shoah in France after 1945 In sixty years the perception of the Shoah has evolved considerably in France. Absent at first from the mental universe of the French, then for a long time marginal, in recent years this perception has become clearer, more central and almost inescapable. Indeed not a day passes without a new publication on this theme, without the placing of a commemorative plaque on a school, or the projection of a new film on this subject. And, as the historian Saul Friedlander stressed in the 1980s, interest and emotion concerning the Shoah, far from waning, have tended to become stronger with time. One also observes this phenomenon in North America, in several other European countries and obviously in Israel, but it is France which concerns us today. To understand how such a radical change of perspective took place over a period of more than sixty years, we will first try to show the principal stages of the perception of the Shoah in France since 1945. We will then examine several principal vectors of this change, notably education, legal trials and artistic creation. Finally, we will stress the involvement of the Jews of France in this evolution. I. The perception: three principal stages from 1945-2008 A. 1945-46 The Shock The first, quite short, phase corresponds primarily to the shock in France immediately after the war at the discovery of the genocide of the Jews. In point of fact, one should speak more of the discovery of the crimes of the Nazis than of the genocide of the Jews.

But how? Communists and democrats felt that they had the answers, but their answers often spawned little more than disillusion, protest, and unrest. Even as much of Europe managed to bounce back from war within only a few years, anxiety was often the principle result. Conflicting national identities, the development of youth culture, and a belief among many that Europe would either sink or swim as a single political and economic unit all shaped the postwar experience. This class will explore the story of European history from the end of World War II to the “War on Terror.” Topics will include (among others) the division of Europe into East and West, the rise of the European Union, the development of separatist nationalisms, and the astonishing proliferation of youth culture that both reflected and defined what took place on the political and economic stage. The class will include a combination of readings, lectures, and films. Students will be expected to participate actively in class discussion and activities, complete a series of short quizzes/papers, and ultimately write a substantial research paper. 2 REQUIRED TEXTS 1) Tom Buchanan, Europe’s Troubled Peace, 1945-2000 (London and New York: Blackwell Publishing, 2006).
