Announcements [NOTE: this page has been superceded by the Fall
2001 Hist 133D website; see my more recent Holocaust course web site: Hist
33d (2005)]
- 12/13, 2pm: Students have asked about the difference between an Einsatzgruppe and an Einsatzkommando. There were 4 Einsatzgruppen with a total of 3000 men. Those four "groups" were subdivided into numerous smaller Einsatzkommandos of varying sizes (which were in turn subdivided into Einsatztrupps). Thus the difference is one of size only.
- 12/9: The final exam study guide is available.
It has two links for essay question 2 that
may help to jog your memory.
- 12/9: The web version of Lecture
Handout 20 is not the same as the one distributed in lecture.
I changed it to reflect the discussion of the final exam study guide.
- The last update (if any) to this web page will be on Tuesday, 12/14, at noon.
- 12/3: Students interested in taking a 2-unit Hist 199RA in winter 2000 to work on the Nina Morecki web site project (interviewing, transcribing, creating a film script, augmenting a web site, creating teacher's guides, research and bibliographies ...) should contact Prof. Marcuse as soon as possible. On Dec. 9 I will submit a list that will automatically register the students (10 so far) on it.
-
11/12: Almost all of the films used in this course (clips shown in lecture) are available for students to borrow from the instructor. If you would like to view one of them in its entirety, e-mail the instructor, or ask after lecture.

Please try to pick them up during my office hours, xxxxx.
If you would like your work left in the envelope outside my door, or to
arrange a different pick-up time, send me an e-mail or leave a note.
Grade complaints:
If you feel that the grade you received on your paper or exam does
not correspond to the quality of work that you submitted, you can either:
Print out, complete, and submit the following Grade
Change Application Form
OR: Write a page (or paragraph, whatever it takes) explaining WHY you
think your work is better than the grade assigned to it. Please refer to
the blue assignment sheet (for papers), and make sure you did the assignment.
Then resubmit the work in question with your explanation, and I will regrade it and get back to you.
Please note that I grade YOUR WORK, not you.
Finally, be sure to put some contact address on your explanation sheet,
so that I can be in touch with you. Given my schedule, that will probably
