Journey through the Camps

On the eve of Germany’s 1939 occupation of Poland, 3.3 million Jews lived in the country. By the end of World War II, only about 380,000 Polish Jews had survived. Each year, Classrooms Without Borders offers educators and students a profound journey through Poland’s Holocaust sites, presented in three powerful immersive experiences.

In the interactive documentary, participants meet a Holocaust survivor, hear from a German author who uncovered his grandfather’s Nazi past and listen to a professor whose Jewish grandmother served as a paratrooper for the Red Army. Teachers and students also share their reflections on this moving journey. The 360-video experience provides documentary footage of significant Holocaust sites in Poland, from remnants of the Warsaw ghetto wall to Birkenau.

The experience culminates in an interactive virtual reality journey through Holocaust concentration camps. These deeply emotional experiences allow participants to gain insight into survivors' memories and feel the impact of these historical spaces beyond a physical visit, bringing survivor testimonies to life in immersive formats that connect the past with the present.
