Join Salem State University history professor Christopher Mauriello for a unique and affordable study and travel institute on the history of the Holocaust in Poland. The institute includes three intensive Saturday sessions on the campus of Salem State University studying the rise of Nazism, historical antisemitism and the Holocaust. During MA school vacation week, we will travel as a group to Poland to explore Jewish life and culture before and during the war, the ghettos of Warsaw and Krakow, the post-war pogrom site of Kielce and the massive death camp and museum at Auschwitz (Birkenau I and II).  Highlights of the study and travel institute to Poland include:

  • Warsaw (Tours of the Jewish Ghetto, Warsaw Uprising, monuments and museums)
