Minne Education Israel & Holocaust Fellowship
MINNE (Minne Education Israel & Holocaust Fellowship) means memory in Norwegian, and it’s thanks to the generosity of one Norwegian philanthropist that select students can embark on this journey to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive. The MINNE fellowship allows select college students to travel to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. and then to Israel.
