From the Ottoman Empire to Auschwitz and Beyond: Is the Holocaust a “European” Event? — Devin Naar

Lecture starts at 1:52. Q&A starts at 43:12. Although usually understood as a “European” event, the Holocaust also resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Jews born in the predominantly Muslim world of the Ottoman Empire (e. g., today’s Greece).

Grappling with the particularities of their experiences compels us to expand the scope of the Holocaust into the Mediterranean world and to recognize the global factors in dialogue with Hitler’s empire, whether the eugenics movement in the United States or the Armenian genocide.
