The program for the 2015 Conference promises to be varied and unique! There will be sessions relating to research in different countries, techniques and a focus on how the end of World War II impacted the Jewish people and their lives across the world. We will make the most of the resources in Israel. You will be able to choose from lectures, workshops and panel discussions, from tours to research in archives and much, much more.
