| Description: | This seminar examines the history of Vichy France during World War II. Students will analyze the establishment of the Vichy regime following France's defeat in 1940, focusing on its "collaboration" with Nazi Germany, anti-Semitic policies, and attempts to reshape French society. The course also investigates the rise of the French Resistance and the day-to-day experiences of those living under occupation. Through a selection of novels, articles, surveys, and primary sources students will study how French society navigated Nazi occupation and the moral dilemmas of wartime. Special emphasis will be placed on the evolving historical memory of Vichy France, from immediate post-war trials to contemporary debates about national identity, guilt, and collaboration. Classes will consist of discussion, research, and writing. |
