Voices of Memory: Holocaust Education and Remembrance Across the Visegrad Countries and Moldova

This project funded by the Visegrad+ program of the International Visegrad Fund aims to contribute to impactful education about the Holocaust in the four Visegrad countries and in Moldova. In the Visegrad region, despite some presence of Holocaust education and existing initiatives, significant gaps remain in awareness, educational curricula, preservation of local Jewish heritage and structures of remembrance and initiatives often lack depth and critical engagement, so there is a need for broader integration of Holocaust education into the curriculum.

The project will include teacher education with special focus on local history and human rights. Teacher trainings will take place in Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Czechia and Moldova and the project will conclude with a regional seminar.

Zachor Foundation for Social Remembrance, Hungary (coordinator)
