The Central European and Jewish Studies students just returned from their study trip through Poland, Moravia and Austria. Highlights from the trip include:
- Lectures on Antisemitism, Polish-Jewish relations and Women under Communism
- Meeting with a member of the Righteous of Nations
- Tours of Kazimierz (Krakow Jewish Quarter) and of Nowa Huta (a Socialist steel city)
- A study tour of Auschwitz and meetings at the Auschwitz Jewish Center with local Polish students
- A tour around Jewish Oswiecim
- Visit to the Roma Museum in Brno
- Meetings with the Viennese and Krakow Jewish community
- Art historical and architectural walks around Vienna and Mikulov
CET Prague Programs incorporates the study trip into the curriculum by organizing activities that compliment the courses we offer. The students had pre-departure lectures and readings to prepare for the trip. Throughout the trip, the students reflected on their experiences with the study leaders.
