A two week study tour to Poland (which has been taken 4 times.) We are currently in the process of developing a semester long course with Lodz University in Poland. Faculty who study at the Yad Vashem Institute are able to receive credits through Hebrew University, Jerusalem. While no current internships are in progress there are contacts for internships made with: Institute for Contemporary History and Weiner Library (London), The Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust Studies (England) and the Woburn House-London.
Faculty from all departments can receive support from the center for individual projects.
One of the major projects for the coming academic year which is in a crucial planning stage already is a proposal for a field trip to Germany, for students of German and others alike. This project will ideally bring together the language component of my teaching, my personal background and interest and, most importantly, the component of CHGE service to students: we will visits (preferably during the intersession of 2008, for aprox. twelve days) three major cities in Germany, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Köln; we will visit, besides cultural events connected to the theme of the trip, a Protestant community in Hamburg, a Jewish and a Catholic community in Düsseldorf, and a Muslim community in Köln. In each we will attend half day symposia, conducted by staff on site in English, about the significance of genocide for each group in the context of German history (i.e., what was the official position of the church, what does it is mean to be Muslim in Germany today etc.). In addition we will visit smaller sites in these cities where forced laborers lived during the third Reich. The music department at SCSU and Jewish Studies consider participating in this project (for the university choir to perform in Germany).
