Nitza Davidovitch heads the Ariel University Center’s Unit of Academic Assessment and Development, heads The Israeli Consortium of Faculty Development Centers, and has been intensely involved in Holocaust memorial projects for many years. Dan Soen has been teaching in higher education institutions in Israel, New Zealand, and South Africa since 1961, has published over 125 articles in scientific journals, and has edited and contributed to over 30 books on topics related to sociology, behavioral sciences, and more recently, Holocaust memory and education. Together, Professor Davidovitch and Professor Soen have led numerous international delegations to Holocaust sites in Europe, and have initiated many student exchange programs and meetings designed to involve the younger generation in a productive dialogue on the Holocaust and its implications. They recently collaborated in editing and publishing The Ethos of the Holocaust in the 21st Century, a multi-author volume on the cognitive, emotional, and moral aspects of youth trips to Holocaust sites in Poland.
