Holocaust Tour July 2022
"I have to say, there were some emotional moments on this trip but it was so worth it. This tour changed my life and how I think about history and world events. The group really supported each other - we didn't stay strangers for long. Jody and Kelly were the best teachers and tour guides".
Andrea R., 2022
"As an early years educator, teaching history can be difficult at times. This trip is full of hands on experiences where you connect with peoples stories and memories over written facts, which greatly helped me navigate the complexities of Holocaust education, especially with younger age students..... Regardless of your previous knowledge around the Holocaust, this trip will challenge your previous thinking, deepen your understanding of this multifaceted history, and help you discover your role in future Holocaust education."

Canadian Battlefields Tour

"Thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime – I hoped it would be great, but really, my experiences and memories have far exceeded my expectations. I promised my Dad over 30 years ago that one day I would come here and “see for myself” some of what his generation experienced.
Of course, everything here is so different now, but you have made history live again with your knowledge and enthusiasm for Canada’s military story. Your desire to give each of us the information we need to make our personal connections to the past richer and more vibrant is really appreciated"!
