About the FASPE Fellowship
FASPE is an educational initiative that examines professional responsibility through the historical experiences of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.
The programme investigates how individuals working in professions such as medicine, law, journalism, business, and other fields responded to the ethical challenges of their time. It encourages participants to consider how professional institutions and codes of conduct can fail when individuals do not question harmful decisions or challenge abuses of authority.
Rather than focusing exclusively on historical events, the fellowship connects these lessons to contemporary professional practice. Participants are encouraged to examine difficult ethical questions, evaluate their responsibilities, and develop the confidence to make principled decisions in their careers.
The programme includes daily seminars, small-group discussions, case studies, and visits to historically significant locations in Germany and Poland.
After completing the fellowship, participants can also join the FASPE alumni network, providing opportunities to maintain professional connections and continue engaging with ethical questions in their respective fields.
