About Dartmouth Hillel Cross Cultural Service Project to Eastern Europe
The mission of Dartmouth Hillel’s Cross Cultural project to Poland and Belarus is three-fold: -To explore the question of man’s inhumanity to man in the framework of genocide (Visiting historical and emotional sites: Auschwitz, Warsaw Ghetto, Grodno Ghetto, and the Great Grodno Synagogue) -To respond meaningfully to the existential reality of its consequences (Rebuild and restore an abandoned Jewish cemetery in Indura, a small village in Belarus) -To immerse ourselves in the culture of those who lived through the Holocaust and its aftermath (Meet and interact with host families and community members in the villages worked in and local Grodno State University students)
