520 3    |a Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the educational knowledge of the public school students in South Florida of the Holocaust prior to participation in the “March of the Living” and to get an insight into their personal experiences following the trip. Additionally, the purpose of the study was to ascertain from the participants in the March of the Living what knowledge was gained about the history of the Holocaust and what was learned about genocide in their own public schools prior to participating in this great journey of life. Method : The first-hand experiences of those students who attended public high school in South Florida and participated in the March of the Living were unique and differed from many of their peers. Therefore, a phenomenological approach was best suited for the purpose of the study. Each respondent participated in an in-depth interview consisting of open-ended questions generated by the researcher. The researcher encouraged respondents to express their opinions and feelings regarding their experiences. Since the questions were open-ended, the researcher gave the participants the freedom to discuss whatever they felt was meaningful. Major Findings : After analyzing the results of this study, the researcher concluded that overall, the respondents felt as if they had received an adequate Holocaust education in their public high schools. Yet, the consensus was that different teaching modalities could have been implemented. Students who had attended the “March of the Living” could have served as narrators for their peers. Holocaust survivors could also have been brought into the schools as guest speakers as well as scheduled school trips to memorial museums. Several of the participants of the March of the Living stated that valuable lessons from the trip continue to resonate throughout many facets of their lives.
