Curriculum

Students will attend a course on Polish language and seminar including lectures, and discussions. Both courses are mandatory for all students.

This course, based in Krakow, explores the variety and richness of Jewish social, political, and community life in Poland in the context of the calamity that befell Polish Jews in World War II. The seminar includes multi-day study trips to Warsaw, small towns in the area once know as Jewish Galicia, and the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Students will meet and interact with faculty, staff and students from the Jagiellonian University, participate in directed field excursions to sites of cultural and historical significance, and attend presentations by Jagiellonian University faculty about Polish society.
