The Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies
The Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies provides vital national and international leadership in educating future generations of scholars. The center, in conjunction with Clark's history department, offers North America's first Ph.D. program specifically in Holocaust history and genocide studies. Clark also offers the richest interdisciplinary undergraduate program in Holocaust and genocide studies in the country. It includes courses in history, literature, psychology, government and sociology. A special feature of this program is the May Term in Prague and Terezin in the Czech Republic and Auschwitz, Poland, which, every other year, brings a group of Clark undergraduates to Central Europe for an intensive three-week course that includes visits to key Holocaust historical sites.
Clark is the first college or university anywhere to have two occupied fully endowed, full-time tenured professorships in Holocaust history, as well as a professorship dedicated to the study of the Armenian genocide.
