Holocaust study tours

Paul has developed study tours to authentic sites of the Holocaust for the Imperial War Museum, UCL, The Cultural Experience, and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

These site visits are for varied groups with widely differing needs - teacher educators; members of the public; and police and judiciary on a genocide awareness course.

The sites themselves vary, too: a former wooden synagogue in a Lithuanian village; remnants of the ghetto wall in Warsaw; traces of a Jewish cemetery in the Polish countryside; sites of the death camps of Treblinka, Belzec and Auschwitz; or the banks of the river Danube in Budapest.

But in each case, participants are encouraged to read the site for themselves, to engage with the history, and to make meaning in conversation between the past and the present, finding relevance with their own lives and what this means for the world today.
