Study Abroad Panel: Learning from the Holocaust in Poland and Germany
Join us for a powerful panel discussion featuring students, faculty, and staff who participated in a transformative study abroad experience this summer, exploring Holocaust history in Poland and Germany. This immersive program took participants to sites of memory, resistance, and reflection—engaging directly with the legacy of one of history’s darkest chapters.
In an era marked by rising hate crimes, racism, xenophobia, and antisemitism, the lessons of the Holocaust are more urgent than ever. As we approach a time when survivors can no longer share their stories firsthand, it becomes our collective responsibility to carry their testimonies forward. This panel will highlight how international education can deepen understanding, foster empathy, and empower the next generation of educators and changemakers to confront injustice and defend democracy.
Hear firsthand accounts from those who walked the grounds of Auschwitz and grappled with the moral and civic implications of Holocaust remembrance.
Learn how study abroad can be a catalyst for personal growth, global awareness, and social responsibility.
This event is open to all—students considering study abroad, educators, and community members committed to learning from the past to shape a more just future.
