March of the Living Poland Trip 2012

***UPDATE (5/1/12): we have just 9 places left - please be in touch ASAP to secure your spot***

Join fellow UK students and over 8,000 people from across the world for an unforgettable six day tour of Poland culminating in a march from Auschwitz to Birkenau.

Now in its third year, March of the Living is the only cross-communal Poland tour for Jewish students. No agendas, just top educators and a unique chance to share in a once in a lifetime experience when thousands of Jewish people march three kilometers from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex.

The education programme will be taught by leading authorities and specialists working in the field of Holocaust studies, including Dr Robert Harris and Dr James Smith. Dr Harris is a professor of Russian studies at Oxford, a March of the Living alumnus and was very involved in setting up the very successful Canadian MOTL educational programme. Dr Smith is the co-founder of Beth Shalom, the holocaust centre in Nottingham and Chief Executive and co-founder of the Aegis Trust, a UK-based genocide prevention organisation.
