Youth travel to Poland is perceived as a major activity in the Israeli education system around Holocaust education.

Travels to Poland became one of the most important phenomena in the shaping of Holocaust remembrance at the end of the 20th century, and around them developed an extensive public and academic discussion that is part of an even broader discussion, about shaping the memory of the Holocaust in Israeli society in general.

Earlier this year, in March, the IDF decided to cancel the delegations of permanent personnel to Poland, and instead the delegations went to Lithuania, as part of the "uniformed witnesses" program. This is a project that began during the time of Maj. Over the years, the IDF has sent many hundreds of delegations to Poland. The delegations included permanent servants, trainees in various command courses, civilian IDF employees and reservists, and were accompanied by instructors from Yad Vashem.
