Orit Margaliot and Alex Dancyg, educators from Yad Vashem, visited Tricity and Wałcz from 6 to 10 March 2017.

The meetings in the Pomerania and Western Pomerania Regions took place thanks to the cooperation of the Centre for Education Development from Warsaw and the Yad Vashem Institute from Jerusalem, as part of the Retaining Memory programme. They were organised by the teachers who participated in a seminar at Yad Vashem last year.
