This course includes a timed ticket for a field trip to “Auschwitz. Not Long Ago. Not Far Away.” at Cincinnati Museum Center, Friday, March 14, 10 am. We will explore background information on Auschwitz to enrich our understanding of the exhibit’s 500+ artifacts. We will examine the scale of this complex of more than 40 camps—including forced labor sites and the killing center where 1.3 million people were murdered—while grounding our learning in the personal stories of those who survived and those who did not. NOTE: Must register by Jan 23.
