This Berlin-based course combines German language instruction, close cultural study, and a home-stay experience.
Language instruction in the mornings is followed by afternoon excursions that focus on life in the former East Germany, on the Holocaust, on Jewish life and culture and on contemporary Berlin’s multicultural identity.
On weekends we will explore the cities of Leipzig, home of Bach and cradle of the 1989 East German Revolution and Wittenberg, where Martin Luther Posted his infamous 95 theses. We will have a special opportunity to visit sites in the beautiful city of Mainz that were central in the early life of Kurt Mayer, a Holocaust survivor, prominent Tacoma-area businessman and former PLU Regent who died in 2012. Students will have the opportunity to meet pre-departure with members of Mayer’s family. Finally, you will have a free weekend in Germany to plan as you wish.
