The Memorial Foundation has organized twenty-seven International Fellowships since 1987 in Western and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Australia, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Latin America and Israel.  Following each of the past seminars, Fellows returned to their communities and took steps to assume leadership positions.
