Because of the intense reading level and the demand on your own self discipline in reading, writing and thinking about the topics you will need to put in effort in independent research to get the full benefit of the course. We will act as your guides and helpers. We see ourselves as entering this endeavor as co-learners. We are partners in this activity.

So you get to sit at home in comfort, with your cup of refreshment, and get to write and think about a subject that is both dramatic and captivating, covering the whole spectrum of human values and moral ethical behavior. This course can be taken for university credit or it can be audited. All students will be able to ask questions of the professors and the others in the class via email. We will periodically send selected questions and comments to Holocaust survivors and noted scholars for response. The required books can be purchased through the university bookstore if you wish to do so.
