The project "Active Holocaust Legacy" (AHL) has received financial support from the European Union as part of the Programme "Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values" (CERV) – "Memory"

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 project, which lasted 12 months, made it possible to address sensitive issues by taking the Holocaust as the basis for an inclusive dialogue between countries with a lot to discuss and/or share due to their competing memories or having the same challenges to face. They brought together history teachers, 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 from Hungary and Romania a new perspective on current mass atrocities.
