The Holocaust with Laurence Rees, part 1

The Holocaust with Laurence Rees, part 1

This curated three-part virtual lecture series from the acclaimed historian and broadcaster Laurence Rees will offer an expert overview of the Holocaust. From the origins of Nazi antisemitism and the rise of Adolf Hitler to the escalation of violence and persecution amid the Second World War and the horrors of the death camps, this masterclass promises to provide an authoritative look at one of the darkest events in history.

From the origins of Nazi anti-Semitism through to the appointment of Hitler as Chancellor of Germany and the introduction of Nazi anti-Semitic laws, this first session examines how and why the Nazis decided to turn – wholly unjustly – on the Jews.
