AJC Fellows: Bridge to History 2008
July 3 – 23, 2008
Six graduate students from various universities across the US took part in 2008 edition of the Auschwitz Jewish Center Fellows program. The Fellows arrived to Poland after a brief orientation at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York.
Students stayed in Krakow, Warsaw and Oswiecim where they explored and discussed Polish-Jewish history. This year’s itinerary also included numerous field trips to Lodz, Kielce and former Jewish towns of south-eastern Poland such as Bobowa, Lezajsk, Lancut, Nowy Sacz, Pinczow and Szydlow.
