Fall 2024 - Absolutely despised this class, but I think it is because I am not much of a politics person and got really bored of lectures + reading to the point where I just stopped doing the readings. I'm sure a lot of my peers enjoyed this class a lot, and to me it wasn't too difficult of a class, but DO NOT take this class if you are not passionate or remotely interested about anything related to the namesake. It will become a LOT of work and mild suffering if you hate it, and only take this class for the credit - I don't think it's worth the extra GE + writing II credit.

Winter 2023 - Definitely recommend taking this class! You get assigned a Holocaust survivor to speak to for four sessions. The other classes are spent discussing with the other students in the class. The grade is 60% attendance, 10% introduction letter, and 30% for writing a letter to a future UCLA student about the experience. It is only an hour once a week and they serve food after the sessions with the survivors. It is a really meaningful and unique opportunity!
