Witnesses In Uniform
Witnesses in Uniform ( he, עדים במדים, edim b'madim) is a program according to which the delegations made of soldiers and veterans of the Israeli Defense Forces, members of the Israel Police and other uniformed services, and family members of the fallen soldiers are sent to Poland to commemorate the Holocaust and learn about it. It usually includes a Holocaust survivor who tells their story and guides from Yad Vashem. The delegations visit Nazi death camps, as well as synagogues, cemeteries, memorials, to learn about the pre-war Jewish history, and the historical background to the Nazi's "Final Solution" to the Jewish question.
