This Spring Break program gives students the opportunity
to experience first-hand several of the most important sites of the
Holocaust. The trip begins in Amsterdam, where we will spend the day touring the city and visiting the Anne Frank house. Our next stop is Warsaw , Poland where
students will visit the remains of the Warsaw Ghetto
along with the Norsyk Synagogue and the Genscher Cemetery.
We then continue on to Krakow. There we will visit the
Jewish Heritage Center, the Kazimierz District, the
Remuh and Temple Synagogues and the Schindler Factory.
From Krakow we depart for the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum,
the most significant point of our trip. After one more
day in Krakow, we return to Warsaw for a night before catching our flight home.
Although the main focus of this trip is the Holocaust,
we will also have opportunities to see other historical
and cultural sites in Poland. In addition, there will
be time avaliable for students to explore these fascinating
cities on their own.
