Professor Gair's Travels
Over the past few years I have been so fortunate. Thanks
to the generosity of the Valencia College Endowed Chair in the Study of the
Shoah I have done a great deal of international travel. My studies have
taken me to Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and 5 times to Israel. I
have visited nine concentration camps, walked the streets of the once vibrant,
but now lost Jewish communities in Europe. Each June I take a group of our
Valencia students on a Holocaust Study Abroad trip. I have attended school
as well as done independent research and study at the International School for
Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. I also served as a volunteer
in the IDF- Israeli Army three times. This is a mere sample of those
trips. Many of the movies I have shot can be seen on my You Tube and Vimeo
video channels. There are links to those sites on the home page of this
site. I will continue to add pictures as I continue my travel studies.
