SUMMER: June and July, 3 Weeks in 2010 (Not offered in 2009)
By touring major sites associated with the Nazi State and the Holocaust, this program provides an opportunity to study not only the facts of this epoch but examine and reflect on their meaning and memorialization today. Tours and lectures will highlight the rise of the Nazi Party in the Weimar Period (1919-1933), the consolidation of power and system of terror under the Nazi regime, and the state-sponsored genocide known as the Holocaust. Special attention will also be given to Jewish life in Central Europe before the Holocaust, the history of anti-Semitism, and the challenge to civil and human rights of the post-Holocaust world.
Museums and memorial sites play a key role in this tour, examining Germany’s social and cultural world from the end of World War I to the end of World War II. The program also includes camp museums such as Auschwitz and Theresienstadt, tours of Jewish cultural and historical museums in Berlin and Prague as well the old Jewish quarter in Krakow.
Application Deadline: February 15, though late applications may be taken. Contact the International programs Office on available space. Application requires a $250 deposit to secure a spot.

Most seminars are open to all majors and minors, not simply those whose field/s matches the department/s granting credit. For continuing UWSP students a minimum GPA of 2.25 is required.
Priority is given to regularly registered UWSP students, but students from other universities and community members are welcome to apply. All participants will be registered in a college course, for credit or audit at the same cost, and will be expected to participate in the program at an intellectual level.
We do work on a first come, first serve basis, so early registration is strongly advised. Priority is given to regularly registered UWSP and UW-System students, but others, may participate either for credit or as auditors on a space-available basis and at the same cost. All participants, whether students or auditors and regardless of age, must be able to participate in the program at the college level, and stand up to the considerable physical rigors of this course (carrying your luggage on public transit systems and extensive walking are common).
