The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme was established by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/7, with a simple and stark aim: to “mobilize civil society for Holocaust remembrance and education, in order to help to prevent future acts of genocide”. The Programme has established a global network of partners and developed versatile initiatives including educational resources, professional development programmes, panel discussions and exhibitions. The Outreach Programme is an expression of the United Nations’ commitment to countering hatred, and to building a world in which everyone can live with dignity and in peace.

Created by Holocaust survivors after the Second World War, yizker bikher - memorial books - preserved memories of Jewish victims, communities and traditions that the N***s sought to erase. During this online discussion, Dr. Jennifer Rich and Dr. Simon Goldberg explore how these memorial books illuminated Eastern European Jewish life before the Holocaust, and the ways that survivors wanted their lives and their communities to be remembered.

On 2 August we mark European Holocaust Memorial Day for Sinti and Roma. We will never forget the lives destroyed during the Holocaust, the historical distortion and denial that followed, and the need to counter ongoing discrimination and prejudice against Roma communities.

Watch the discussion “Breaking the Cycle of Hate: The Rights and Voices of Roma in Europe”, organized by the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Permanent Mission of Greece and civil society. Speakers reflect on the historical and ongoing prejudice against Roma communities, and highlight the importance of amplifying Roma voices and exploring practical ways to counter hate speech and discrimination.
