This April, join us for a transformative learning journey to Morocco. On this trip, we will delve into the profound impact of the Holocaust and World War II on Jewish communities in North Africa. You will have the opportunity to tour the Nahon Synagogue and the American Legation Museum in Tangier, visit a tannery in Fez, and explore the bustling city of Casablanca. Through visits to historical sites and interactions with local scholars, this trip will expand your understanding of the Holocaust beyond the European theatre of war, explore the complexities of identities and varying communities of Muslim North Africa, and increase your understanding of new work Facing History & Ourselves has been doing to share this history.
