This study tour has been designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the German-led attack on European Jews and other victims during the mid-twentieth century. Tour participants will travel to Germany and Poland, where they will visit historical sites related to the Holocaust and its commemorations.
The study tour will bring participants into contact with a variety of historical sites, including museums, religious institutions, memorial sites, and former concentration and death camps. Whereas the genocidal attack on European Jews during the 1930s-1940s is the focal point of the tour, participants will also have the opportunity to learn about the vibrant Jewish culture in pre-war Germany and Poland.
Tour dates are May 1-May 11, 2017. The cost for the tour is $2,500.
