NOTE: This program is next scheduled for June 2008.
This annual program of the Holocaust Educational Foundation offers up to twenty-five advanced undergraduate students at North American colleges and universities the opportunity to acquire first-hand knowledge, under the direction of two senior faculty, of some of the principal sites of the Holocaust in Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
Admission to this traveling seminar is open to students who have completed their third year of undergraduate study, including at least one full-credit course on the Holocaust. Each admitted student receives an automatic grant of US$500 toward the total costs of air and ground transportation, food, and lodging during the seminar (at present aproximately $2700). Students seeking further financial assistance should outline their needs in their applications.
The annual application deadline is January 31. Applicants must submit:
- a university transcript,
- a resume or c.v. clearly indicating their email address,
- a letter of recommendation from the instructor of a Holocaust course at their college and university,
- a one-page statement of reasons for wishing to participate in the Seminar,
