During this period, Germany began the systematic genocide of over 11 million people, including the majority of the Jews of Europe, in the Holocaust.
Since many Jews worked as money-lenders (usury was not allowed for Christians) and were generally more protected from disease through adherence to their kosher laws concerning hygiene), the Jews were often disliked by Europeans, so it was popular to blame them for the epidemic.

European history is not world history, nor, despite its global significance for recent history, does Europe provide universal norms for judging other histories.
To that end, we will read, discuss, and write about original or primary sources--the documents from which all sound history is written--in order to become acquainted with typically European ways of thinking and how those ways illuminate (and sometimes obscure) the events of European history.
Chief topics: the Renaissance, the Protestant and Catholic Reformations, the formation of overseas empires and the coming of capitalism, the Scientific Revolution, the French Revolution, liberalism and the industrial revolution, socialism and the rise of labor, modern colonialism, the world wars, communism and capitalism, decolonization, and the Cold War and the European Union.

 EU Referendum
Luciano Canfora who is no less guilty of peddling lies and is probably more consistent in his support for a murderous regime, has his book published in several languages as part of the more or less official history of the making of Europe.
This series, I suspect, is there to show that there has been a seamless “Europeanhistory from Rome to Rome.
