This summer a group of cadets and midshipmen from the Air Force, Coast Guard, Military and Naval Academies spent an intensive 10 days in Poland visiting places related to the history of World War II and the Holocaust.

Future leaders of the US Armed Forces visited Oświęcim, where they learned about the pre-war history, the fate of Jewish and Catholic residents during the war, and the contemporary life of our town.

A special moment of the program was the study tour of the Auschwitz Birkenau State Museum (photo by Mykhailo Kapustyan).
