| The East European Seminar for Faculty is a bi-annual, two-week summer program of visits to formerly important centers of Jewish culture in Poland and the Czech Republic and to the locations of several concentration and death camps, e.g., Theresienstadt, Majdanek, Treblinka, and Auschwitz. The objective of the program is to enhance college and university teaching on the Holocaust by allowing current and prospective faculty to acquire first-hand familiarity with these sites.
The Seminar, which is led by Professor Geoffrey Giles of the University of Florida, is limited to twenty-five participants, including up to five graduate students. Preference in admission is given to applicants who have completed the Summer Institute on the Holocaust and Jewish Civilization at Northwestern University. The Foundation urges the universities of successful applicants to contribute substantially to the Seminar cost and usually succeeds in this effort, but also offers partial scholarship grants so that the cost to each participating faculty member is only part of the total. Places in the Seminar are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and applications are accepted during the Fall Semester preceding the year of the Seminar, which next takes place June 2008. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae and a letter outlining their reasons for wishing to participate by January 30, 2008 to:
Holocaust Educational Foundation (or e-mail)
