Witnessing Poland: A Preparation and Reflection Guide for Teen Trips to Poland

This curriculum is designed to intellectually and emotionally prepare high school students for a trip to Poland. Students will study primary sources relating to prewar Jewish life in Poland, destruction of Jewish life in Poland, and stories of righteousness throughout the Holocaust. On their trip, students will be given the opportunity to be the tour guide for their peers. Upon returning home, a closing reflective unit will enable students to think deeply about their experiences in Poland in order to make personal Jewish meaning out of their travels.
