SUMMARY:Remarks on American Student Reactions to Visiting Poland
DESCRIPTION:What happens when American university students encounter Poland for the first time—not through textbooks or headlines\, but by walking its streets\, visiting its historic sites\, and standing where history actually happened?\n“Remarks on American Student Reactions to Visiting Poland” explores those powerful first impressions. Since 2013\, Professor Dorothy Pisarski of Drake University has led seven travel seminars to Poland\, accompanying Midwestern university students as they studied the Holocaust and World War II at the very places where these histories unfolded. Students encountered important sites and primary artifacts firsthand\, transforming distant history into something immediate\, human\, and unforgettable. Hearing how first-time American visitors respond to Poland offers a fascinating opportunity to see the country through fresh eyes while reflecting on what its history means to us today. \nIn a world of shifting truths and rising polarization\, history demands more than remembering—it demands that we encounter it. The most important classroom may not be on a university campus\, but on site\, in Poland\, where the echoes of the past truly inspire us to build a more compassionate and just future. \nJoin us for an engaging look at what American students discovered in Poland. \nRefreshments will be served.
