Six training sessions were organized in 2023 by the Shoah Memorial and its European partners, for 281 teachers/educational staff from 13 European countries (France, Lithuania, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Spain).
The 12-month project addressed sensitive issues by taking the Holocaust as a basis for an inclusive dialogue between countries with much to debate and/or share because of their competing memories or similar challenges. They brought together history professors, national authorities and NGOs to promote a comparative approach to mass atrocities in Europe and address contemporary educational challenges such as racial prejudice, conspiracy theory, hate speech and gender violence.
The AHL project has included a new dimension this year, through the section "Never again; really?" , applying this regional approach at the university level and offering students in Hungary and Romania a new perspective on current mass atrocities.
