HighlightsOur 10-day trip begins in Krakow where we will discover what life was like in Nazi-occupied Poland. We will study how the Nazis murdered on an industrial scale and how societies choose to memorialize and remember genocide. We will walk through the Jewish Quarter and the World War II-era Ghetto and tour Oskar Schindler’s factory. We will confront the Holocaust by visiting two of the most infamous labor death camps: Treblinka and Auschwitz-Birkenau. In Warsaw, we will visit the Pawiak Prison–the detention center where Jews and Poles were held during the Nazi occupation – the Museum of the Jewish Historical Institute, the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, and walk along the Path of Jewish Remembrance to the Monument to the Heroes of the Ghetto. Our trip concludes with a day touring the Lodz Ghetto. In addition to our study of the Holocaust, participants will learn about Jewish and Polish culture and visit a number of important cultural sites in Warsaw and Krakow.
