None of the sources verifies the History Wizard's credentials. The program pages only describe Holocaust and Genocide Studies degrees, and the single Reddit comment that mentions the_history_wizard holding such a degree is a removed, unauthoritative post that merely echoes the claim, so it cannot corroborate it.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… It's exactly the camps are the hardest place to build mass. Here he is making a really, really stupid point, but he hopes that ladies pay attention. Hey, hi, hello, and welcome back to class. I'm the History Wizard, and I have a master's degree in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Of course you do.

What we found

Context. The Stockton, Yeshiva, and Leicester pages describe Holocaust and Genocide Studies master's programs in general and do not mention any individual named the History Wizard.[1][2][3]

Context. The only source linking the History Wizard to a degree is a removed Reddit comment that says they hold a master's in 'genocidal studies,' a slightly different name, and it repeats the claim without any independent record behind it.[4]

Context. The claimant's own post is not evidence, and no authoritative source checks this person's education, so the sources neither confirm nor contradict the claim.
