48-422 Holocaust Center 2.0
9 units, Carnegie Mellon University
Seventy years ago, World War II ended and the realities of the Holocaust, a genocide organized by Adolf Hitlers Nazi regime in Germany that led to the killing of more than six million Jews and many others, began to emerge. Ever since, scholars have studied the origins of this genocide, with an eye towards preventing something like this from happening again. Ever since, all over the world, Holocaust organizations have developed educational projects and programs. What will happen to these programs and how will Holocaust Centers adapt to a time when there are no first hand survivors to talk to This question forms the core of this project focused on the parameters of the Holocaust Center of the next generation, Holocaust Center 2.0. Like other studentcentered, realworld projects I have led at CMU, Holocaust Center 2.0 has been conceived as a multidepartmental project for a real client, the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. In this course, I am interested in student historians, scientists, technologists, writers, artists, designers, architects, planners, sociologists, philosophers, psychologists...really, every discipline has a role to play on our team. There are many stories to be told and questions to be asked.
