Study abroad in Poland. This course focuses on the history, experience and memory of Jewish life in Poland. One of the focuses of the course will be the experience of discrimination and the history of the Holocaust in Poland. However, the course will also examine the ways in which both Poles and Jews contributed to and engaged in a rich cultural, social and economic life in communities across the region and, in some cases, continued to do so today. The course will consider the history and legacies of the co-existence, interdependence, entangle between Poles, Jews, and other minority populations in this diverse geographic space. We will also explore the contentious contemporary debates over the politics of commemoration of Holocaust sites and Jewish life in Poland today.

Pre-req: minimum 30 credits, instructor consent, Study Abroad Office consent required.
