<p>Students of all faiths and ethnicities with
an interest in Holocaust studies, Jewish
Studies, Polish-Jewish history, memory, or
human rights are strongly encouraged to apply.
The program covers all costs, including
international travel, lodging, room and board,
and materials, except travel to the program’s
start in New York City.</p>
<p>The AJC Fellows Program provides a unique
educational opportunity to learn about the
Holocaust in situ in the context of Poland’s
history and Jewish heritage. It is the goal of
the Auschwitz Jewish Center Fellows Program
that Fellows gain not only knowledge of the
Holocaust sites they visit, but also an
understanding of the legacy of the Holocaust
in Poland, its effects on collective memory,
and complexities surrounding such categories
as victim, bystander, and perpetrator.</p>
<p>After a brief orientation in New York City,
the Fellows travel in Poland for three weeks,
during which time they visit Kraków, Warsaw,
Łódź, Treblinka, and Oświęcim (Auschwitz). The
Fellows travel to small towns in the regions
surrounding Warsaw and Kraków, as well as
through south-eastern Poland to explore the
area’s rich Jewish heritage and meet with
local leaders to learn about pre-war Jewish
life, life under the Nazi occupation and
Communism, and the state of Jewish communities
and memory in Poland today.</p>
<p>In Oświęcim, the Fellows attend an intensive
program at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum
where they tour the camps; learn about how the
State Museum presents the history of Jewish,
Roma, and Polish inmates; and take part in
workshops introducing them to the collections
and education programs of the State Museum.
While in Oświęcim, the Fellows may have the
opportunity to meet European students and
observe educational workshops at the Auschwitz
Jewish Center.</p>
<p>Upon returning home, each Fellow will write
an essay reflecting on his or her experience.
Selected essays will be published in the
Center’s annual journal, <i>Reflections. </i>The
2015 edition can be viewed <a href="http://ajcf.pl/ajcserwis/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/0126_AJCJournal.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Applicants are chosen for their focus in the
field, academic achievements, and likelihood
of academic and professional success. To learn
more about past Fellows, bios of recent
cohorts can be found here: <a href="http://ajcf.pl/ajcserwis/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/2016-Fellows-Bios.doc" target="_blank">2016</a> and
