Volunteers experience history

Action Reconciliation Service for Peace (ARSP) offers international volunteer placements in thirteen different countries – in Europe, Israel and the US. ARSP volunteers visit Holocaust survivors, work with refugees and homeless people, help former Nazi forced labourers in their old age and work in schools and shelters for children with disabilities.

ARSP Summer Camps 2013

ARSP offers around 20 international summer camps for young people from around the world in ten European countries: for example in Spain, France, Russia, Poland and Germany. The participants work, learn and celebrate together – i.e. restoring Jewish graveyards and memorial sites, supporting anti-racism projects or working with people with disabilities.

Since 1958 thousands of young volunteers have worked in projects in Europe, Israel and the US, seeking greater international understanding by facing the traces of Nazi history, and dealing with their ongoing presence in many people's lives.
