About…The Catholic Institute for Holocaust StudiesSeton Hill University, a Catholic liberal arts university, initiated a national Catholic movement focused on Holocaust studies in 1987. This initiative was supported by the call of Pope John Paul II to recognize the significance of the SHOAH, the Holocaust, and to “promote the necessary historical and religious studies on the event which concerns the whole of humanity today” (8/8/87).
The Holocaust Institute in Israel is specifically designed for educators working in Catholic institutions throughout the United States. The program will equip participants to enter into serious discussion on the causes of antisemitism and the Holocaust with serious consideration of the Catholic perspective. It seeks through planned meetings to discuss the shaping of appropriate curricular responses at Catholic Institutions in light of the Holocaust.
The International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad VashemThe international school is responsible year-round for all educational activities held at Yad Vashem—the most comprehensive center of Holocaust commemoration in the world. The Shoah is seen as a seminal event in human history which confronts and challenges Jews and non-Jews alike. The institute for educators focuses on the historical dimensions in order to best grapple with the moral and philosophical issues that are raised.

There are also opportunities to attend religious services. Because of length of the program, climate and demands of study and travel in Israel, participants should be in good physical condition. We encourage you to have a check-up with your personal physician prior to participating in the program.
