The Auschwitz Jewish Center (AJC) Fellows Program is a three-week study trip to Poland and Slovakia that provides an opportunity for university students to learn about the Holocaust in situ in the context of Poland's history and Jewish heritage. It is the goal of the program that fellows gain not only knowledge of the Holocaust sites they visit, but also an understanding of the legacy of the Holocaust in Poland, its effects on collective memory, and complexities surrounding such categories as victim, bystander, and perpetrator.
Applicants must be students who are matriculated in graduate programs or are completing undergraduate degrees in 2013 in Holocaust studies and related fields. Students of all faiths and ethnicities with an interest in Holocaust studies, Jewish Studies, Polish-Jewish history, memory, or human rights are strongly encouraged to apply. The program covers all costs, including international travel, lodging, room and board, and materials.
Applications are due January 21, 2013. Learn more, here.
