6 full working days spent in productive theoretical, practical, and excursion classes. The group visited the places of memory and memorials on the territory of 3 former death camps involved in the so-called "Operation Reinhardt", during which Nazi  killed about 2 million European Jews. After honouring the memory of the victims (including numerous victims from Ukraine), the group had the opportunity to share their experience of teaching the traumatic topic of Holocaust history using the most modern methodological tools.
