Its programs and courses taught by its director support the minor in Human Rights and Genocide Studies, as well as the minor in Jewish studies.<\/p>\n<p>While it receives support from the College, most of the Center&#8217;s funding is from private donations. It is a member of the Association of Holocaust Organizations and the Consortium of Higher Education Centers for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Studies.

(Students will also have ample free time to explore Prague.) Most days will begin with a lecture from trip director Dr. Jacob Ari Labendz, who is an expert in Czech and Jewish history, or from fascinating local scholars. While this course will focus significantly upon the Holocaust and Jewish life, it will also delve with nuance and depth into the histories and contemporary conditions of Roma, the LGBTQ community, and refugees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/holocaust\/study-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><em><strong>Click Here for to read about our 2025 Trip<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4459\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4459\" class=\"wp-image-4459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/holocaust\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/07\/unnamed-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Students standing along a railing along the Vltava river with a view of a bridge (statues only) and Prague Castle.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/holocaust\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/07\/unnamed-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/holocaust\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/07\/unnamed-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/holocaust\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/07\/unnamed-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/holocaust\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/07\/unnamed-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/holocaust\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/07\/unnamed-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4459\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charles Bridge and Prague Castle (Credit: Shiori Kono)<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We would like to thank two donors for contributing sufficient funds for CHGS to offer a $1,000 scholarship to each applicant.
