    The Holocaust is unarguably the darkest period of German history.

    This program provides students with many opportunities to get a broad perspective on what happened between 1933 and 1945. During this time, Jewish people in Europe were subjected to progressively harsh persecution. Ultimately 6 million were murdered in an attempt to annihilate the entire Jewish population.

    Students will have the opportunity to visit concentration camps as well as other sites of significance during the Third Reich.
