Learn about prewar Jewish life in Poland, the traces of the Holocaust in Warsaw and the contemporary debates on Holocaust memory. Visit the vestige of Jewish Warsaw, the places of Jewish persecutions, the extermination site at Treblinka and one of the small towns outside Warsaw which were renowned for their vivid Jewish life and institutions. Visit older Holocaust memorials and the recently opened Museum of the History of Polish Jews built on site of the former Warsaw ghetto. Focus on the various forms of visible memorialization, and their absence, in order to better understand the political and social evolution of the Polish memory of the extermination of the Jews.
Fellowships for students will be considered by the George and Irina Schaeffer Center for the Study of Genocide, Human Rights and Conflict Prevention.
