The Orientation Seminar focuses on the victims’ lives before the war and participants listen to the testimony of a Holocaust Survivor. The students are divided into small groups each led by an HET educator. Each group discusses their reasons for taking part on the Project and are encouraged to talk about their expectations and preconceptions about the visit to the camp and the potential impact that the visit may have on them. The seminar also provides a useful opportunity for participants to get to know each other before they share what for many is a very moving and important life experience.
Seeing things in the flesh is a lot more hard-hitting than reading a textbook.
