in israel in 11th and 12 grade you have the option to go. i went. unfortunatly most of the messages were "see what happened to us, thats why in a year you should go into the army to protect your people blah blah blah" but all in all i thought is was a very enriching trip. and i really dont think that going to the torture chamber in auschwitz, or standing in a gas chamber in maidanik is a real touristy thing. most of my family were murdered at those places and i think they act as a reminder not only as europes not so distant past, but as a reminder for what humanity is capable of.
