Section I.
Essay on Primary Sources.
40 points
You will be given two excerpts from primary sources that we have analyzed
either in lecture or discussion section. You will be asked to analyze the
excerpts, and put the texts in conversation with one another. To most fully
analyze the primary sources, you should plan to include basic information
about the texts, (including the author, purpose, date, and historical context),
identify the key ideas in the excerpts you have been given, and connect the
excerpts to the larger documents from which the excerpts have been taken.
Finally, you should be prepared to discuss what light these documents shed
on the historical periods in which they arose, and on the phenomena they
represent. The primary sources examined since the midterm include: Edwin
Landau and Martha Appel memoir excerpts, Nuremburg Laws, Schnellbrief
(Urgent Memo),
Warsaw Diary of Chaim Kaplan
, Primo Levi’s
Survival in
