The Holocaust — the state-sponsored genocide of six million Jews — is one of history's most devastating events, and antisemitism did not end with it. This course takes you deep into the history: what happened, why it was allowed to happen, how the world responded and failed to. Drawing from Barbara Miller's acclaimed handbook, you'll build foundational knowledge to understand how hate escalates — and what it means for our world today. Part 1 of a 2-part series

The Holocaust happened. The world largely stood by. But some people refused to. This course focuses on the heroes — including Australian Aboriginal elder William Cooper and the 1938 protest that stands as one of the few non-governmental responses to Kristallnacht worldwide. Explore the power of upstanders, the journey of reconciliation between Aboriginal Australians and Germany, and what antisemitism looks like today — with practical tools to recognise it, challenge it, and take a stand.
