Albion College Holocaust Studies

Trip Application Form

The Holocaust Service-Learning Project (HSSLP) will travel to Poland May 9 through May 18, 2009. Twenty students will accompany faculty and staff to help restore the New Jewish Cemetery in Wrocław and study at Holocaust sites in Kraków, and Oświęcim (Auschwitz/Auschwitz-Birkenau).

Note application deadline extension: All Albion College students are invited to apply. Application forms are due Monday, Nov. 10, 2008. Notification of selection will be made in early November. Accepted students will be able to add the course after registration if necessary.

Course: Each participant will take a ½-unit seminar (IDY 198 Holocaust Studies) during the spring semester. This seminar will meet on six evenings in February, March, and April; a 10-page paper and travel journal are required, and two additional readings will be the subject of evening discussions during the trip to Poland in May.

Students who have already participated in the HSSLP are also invited to apply. These students will register for a ½-unit independent study to be completed during the spring semester. The independent study will focus on a Holocaust-related topic to be negotiated with the instructor. Attendance at the six seminar meetings and full participation in the Poland trip (including the travel journal) will also be required. In general, qualified students who have not already participated in the HSSLP will be accepted into the program before other applications are considered.

Cost: The cost per person at present is set at around $2,300, including all travel, lodging, and some meals. A deposit of $300-$400 is due soon after acceptance. Some financial aid will be available.
