Description

1) Objective

In line with the EU Strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life (2021-2030), as well as with other key policy initiatives, this topic supports projects that can focus on developing networks of Young European Ambassadors to promote Shoah remembrance. This topic will also support projects that develop and support networks that use places of memory, ‘where the Holocaust happened’ for educational purposes.

Projects under this topic could focus on:

  • Addressing how the Shoah took place, how the crimes were committed, which actors were involved, the roles of collaborators and bystanders, as well as the roles of saviours and Righteous among the Nations. As well as pre-war and immediate postwar historical developments.
  • Countering Holocaust denial, distortion, trivialisation and victims’ inversion. This includes countering false comparisons, conspiracy theories propagated online, and conflation with the Middle East conflict.
  • Countering historical falsification and memory competition related to the Shoah, especially among Europeans that shared a common history but have divergent views on their common past.
  • Addressing divergent and opposite national historical narratives, on regional basis, of the history of the Shoah, including parallelism with other negative common shared historical regional events.
  • Promoting memory activism related to the Shoah including by supporting grassroot commemorative work.
  • Digitalising historical material and testimonies of witnesses for education and training purposes.
  • Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day and national Holocaust remembrance days.
  • Combating glorification of Nazism, countering neo-Nazis manifestations and activities.
  • Promoting provenance research on looted art to foster awareness raising, mutual learning or training activities.
