Reflective Journey to Auschwitz
Understanding History
Remembering Auschwitz, 27 February – 2 March 2026, open to all students from Delft
Embark on a Solemn, Educational Expedition
Welcome to a journey of deep historical importance and reflection. “Reflective Journey to Auschwitz” is not just a trip; it’s an immersive educational experience designed to deepen our understanding of the Holocaust, its devastating impacts, and the enduring lessons it imparts to humanity.
Why Auschwitz?
Auschwitz stands as a stark reminder of the horrors of intolerance and hate. This journey is an opportunity to confront history, understand the depths of human suffering, and recognize the resilience of the human spirit.
80 years it has been, now more relevant than ever.
We live in uncertain times where hate and intolerance seem to rise. It has been 80 years since the horrors that took place in Auschwitz ended. Now is the time to learn from this. Now is the time to remind ourselves what is at stake.
Learning from history,with open eyes for today
The memory of Auschwitz calls us not only to mourn the past, but also to face the present with honesty and courage. The legacy of the Holocaust has often been invoked in political and national narratives, sometimes in ways that silence, justify, or obscure present-day injustices. We believe remembrance must never be used to legitimize oppression.
As we reflect on Auschwitz, we also ask difficult questions: How can we prevent history from being misused? How do we ensure that “Never Again” applies to all peoples? How can we, in light of Auschwitz, look critically at the violence and human suffering we witness today, including the devastating reality in Gaza, and resist the temptation to take sides uncritically?
Educational Focus
Throughout this journey, you will engage in guided tours, interactive sessions, and reflective discussions led by knowledgeable experts and educators. Together, we explore not only the historical context of the Holocaust, but also the ways in which its memory shapes our world today. Our aim is to hold space for critical, honest dialogue so that remembrance does not become one-sided, but instead empowers us to recognize and resist oppression wherever it occurs.
