A Palestinian professor who took 27 college students to visit Auschwitz returned home to find that his fellow Palestinians had branded him a traitor.
The trip led to accusations of treason and brainwashing when an article about it was published in the Palestinian newspaper al-Quds. The university also dissociated itself from the trip.
Professor Mohammed S. Dajani said he expected “complaints” about the controversial field trip but not the ferocity with which he was met.
