he chance to skip two
weeks of school and
spend them in Europe
and Israel may sound like
the perfect dream vacation.
But don't tell that to Karen
Oliver, 16, and Marina
Geller, 16, of West Bloom-
field.
As two participants in next
week's B'nai B'rith Youth
Organization March of the
Living, Karen and Marina
will retrace the steps of the
"March of Death," the path
Jews walked to the gas
chambers of Auschwitz and
Birkenau.
"None of us considers this
a trip or .a vacation," said
Lisa Zaks, 15, of Farmington
Hills, another participant.
"It's an educational experi-
ence. We're going there to
learn, to make sure nothing
like this ever happens
again."
The third BBYO March
of the Living is set for
April 26 through May 10.
Participating will be 12
students from metro Detroit.
In Poland, about 5,000
Jewish teens from countries
around the world will visit
the concentration camps of
Auschwitz-Birkenau,
Treblinka and Majdanek.
Coinciding with Holocaust
Remembrance Day, the
event will take marchers to
historic sites in Poland such
as the Warsaw Ghetto
Memorial, Mila 18, the Jew-
ish Cemetery, the restored
Nozyck Synagogue,
Krakow's Jewish quarter
and the former yeshiva of
Lublin, now a medical school.
In Israel, teens will visit
Jerusalem, Masada, Tel
Aviv, the Golan Heights, the
Galil and Negev, and take
part in Israel Independence
Day celebrations.
"The march creates
witnesses," said Arnie
Weiner, director, BBYO
Michigan Region. "The ge-
neration of survivors is leav-
ing us. These kids have to
bring back and share what
they've seen."
Mr. Weiner said only 11th-
and 12th-graders are eligible
and they undergo intensive
screening. Applicants are
required to submit essays,
undergo interviews and
supply letters of recommen-
dation. Those chosen study a
curriculum on Poland and
Israel and attend several
educational seminars.
Half the program's cost of
$2,650 is subsidized by
Michigan BBYO. Par-
ticipants pay the balance, on
their own or through com-
munity scholarships.
Karen Zaks, a junior at
West Bloomfield High
School, received a scholar-
ship through her synagogue,
Adat Shalom.
"I had to take this incredi-
ble chance to learn some-
thing about my past," Karen
said. "When I come back, I
can help others understand
more about the Holocaust."
Marina Geller, 16, a
sophomore at Groves High
School, said many of her
"None of us
considers this a
vacation."
peers know little about the
Holocaust. "The Holocaust
didn't really hit home with
me until a couple of years
ago, when an uncle in Israel
showed me his concentration
camp number," Marina said.
Marina, like Karen and
Lisa, plans to discuss her ex-
periences at the camps in
front of different classes.
"It's hard to say if we're
excited about going," said
Lisa, a sophomore at North
Farmington High School.
"I'm scared and excited at
the same time."

resolve her problems and plan
for the future with the
assistance of staff from JFS
and NCJW. Unlike a tradi-
tional shelter, the apartment
provides a private and more
normalized family-like set-
ting which may be less
threatening than the more
institutional-like shelter.
It is here, with our help and
support, that a woman would
begin to put the pieces of her
life together. The apartment
setting would allow the social
worker to better assess the
skills of the woman and help
prepare her for the next steps
in her life. The major goal of
this shelter is to assist women
to explore options and develop
coping skills through counsel-
ing while away from the bat-
tering situation.
The apartment would be a
more viable option for Jewish
women who are in a battering
situation and are reluctant to
go to a public shelter.
