This summer join the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the History and English departments for a unique study and travel institute on the theme of World War II, the Holocaust and national memory. The institute includes a two day seminar (July 5-6) followed by 12 days of group travel to explore historical sites, museums, and culture (July 7-19). Students must complete the seminar and the trip in order to receive credit. Students will have free time in most cities to explore the local culture on their own. Travelers not taking the course for credit are also very welcome.
