Abstract
ABSTRACT:The first Israeli youth journey to Poland took place in 1965. Fredka Mazia, a Holocaust survivor, initiated, organized, and led the group. Following a positive public response, the Ministry of Education and Culture organized their own journey in 1966. In 1967, after Poland severed relations with Israel, the government suspended further journeys until the 1980s. In time, they have become a tradition and the focus of several research studies; however, these studies largely ignore both the initial journeys of the 1960s and the woman who initiated them. This article describes Mazia's pioneering role in this project, and the program's impact on the lives of Israeli youths, perceptions of the Holocaust, and Holocaust commemoration.
期刊介绍：
The major forum for scholarship on the Holocaust and other genocides, Holocaust and Genocide Studies is an international journal featuring research articles, interpretive essays, and book reviews in the social sciences and humanities. It is the principal publication to address the issue of how insights into the Holocaust apply to other genocides. Articles compel readers to confront many aspects of human behavior, to contemplate major moral issues, to consider the role of science and technology in human affairs, and to reconsider significant political and social factors.
