The study trip to Auschwitz is an opportunity to shoot images of the camp and film the testimony of former deportees. Upon return, after editing work and recording audio comments, the films are screened at other classes or during meetings open to the public. They allow students to share their experience, and thus constitute an important medium for exchange and reflection.
