Overview

This two-week intensive study abroad unit explores the modern history of European Jews and their complex relations with their non-Jewish neighbours. Students will travel to the major centres of interwar Jewish life in Europe, and encounter the diverse heritage of the region's Jewish population. The unit will also explore the dynamics that shaped interactions between Europe's Jews and their neighbours prior to and during the Holocaust. Students will visit museums, synagogues, cemeteries, destroyed ghettos, and sites of mass murder such as Auschwitz-Birkenau. We will explore how Europeans have struggled to come to terms with this difficult past through debates around memorialisation, reconciliation and justice.
