Textbooks have started to arrive. They all look like good books, but they are about the Holocaust, so not exactly shiny and happy. Still, they take on the cultural and social aspects of World War II as opposed to the military views, and since that is where my interest lies, I am quite intrigued. This course also combines the study of public history, so some of the books also focus on the texture of memory and the public preception of history, memory, and memorial.
