A unique partnershipHanze University of Applied Sciences has developed a unique collaboration with Memorial Centre Camp Westerbork in which honors students work on projects that connect the past with the present. The Westerbork camp was a World War II Nazi refugee, detention and transit camp in Hooghalen, north of Westerbork, in the northeastern part of the Netherlands. Its function during the Second World War was to assemble Jews, Roma and Sinti for transport to Nazi concentration camps in the east. 107.000 people were deported from the Westerbork transit camp to camps like Auschwitz, Sobibor, Bergen-Belsen and others. Only 5.000 returned.In 1983 the Memorial Centre of Camp Westerbork was built with financial support from the Dutch Government. The exhibition depicts Dutch war time under occupation, with special emphasis on the persecution of the Jews. The history of Camp Westerbork is represented by means of photographs, documents, drawings, paintings, images, maps, and objects. The story of Camp Westerbork remains an important lesson from the past with impact on our present day society.
International Honors Summer InstituteHanze University of Applied Sciences offers an International Honors Summer Institute in June 2018 on Holocaust History and the lessons that can be learned for today. The purpose of this summer institute is to provide students with the opportunity to collaborate with an international cohort to study Holocaust history. Students will then use these “lessons from the past” to examine, investigate, and critique problems in today’s societies (social inequality,
discrimination, refugees) in order to formulate a final project to convey these lessons to a target audience. The Honors Summer Institute on Holocaust Remembrance will empower students to be effective citizens with knowledge and understanding of the history of World War II and its implications for the present. The summer school will strengthen student’s skills in research and design and will challenge them to think and act in new ways and make a difference in the world.
Excursions to Amsterdam and BerlinThe Summer Institute starts in April 2018 with all students studying Holocaust history at their own location. Students will begin collaborating with their international team via Skype and other online platforms on their research and projects. During June 2018 students will then have the opportunity to work with their teams in person, as US students travel to Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen, Netherlands. Students will then travel to several Holocaust sites in the Netherlands and Germany, such as Amsterdam (home of Anne Frank), former Concentration Camp Bergen Belsen and Berlin (Holocaust Museum). In between excursions, students will work in their groups on their projects at the location of Camp Westerbork. The capstone of the Institute will be final presentations of each team’s projects. Also a social program will be part of this Summer Institute in which both US and Dutch students will participate together.
