What We Do
Rebutting antisemitism and all forms of racism is at the core of our work. Through commemoration and memorialisation, we keep the lessons of history alive. We consider the importance of the Holocaust in the context of Genocide Studies, underlining its significance and contemporary resonance. Concerns regarding the rise of the alt-right prompt us to address and refute Holocaust denial and distortion.
