Learning from the Holocaust Memories (LHM) brings together 5 partners from Spain, Italy, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria in a transnational effort to raise awareness among the European population about the lessons learned and the values acquired after the Holocaust, in order to prevent future atrocities. The project responds to the need to deepen understanding of Europe’s shared history, with particular attention to the social, political and ideological roots of antisemitism and the Holocaust. It aims to collect and preserve direct and indirect testimonies related to the Holocaust, including personal accounts from survivors, descendants and people from diverse backgrounds, while fostering intergenerational dialogue through inclusive spaces where personal and collective memories can be shared and critically reflected upon. Through educational activities that promote historical awareness, civic values, tolerance and critical thinking, LHM contributes to preventing future atrocities and builds a network of organisations from five European countries committed to strengthening knowledge of 20th-century history and its relevance to today’s societies. Activities are organised around two main strands: the collection of testimonies and the organisation of round tables, and the creation and implementation of educational workshops, complemented by coordination, dissemination and quality-control activities throughout the project.
Key outputs include a dedicated YouTube channel and a series of digital publications presenting the collected testimonies and educational materials. LHM is particularly relevant to EU priorities on Holocaust remembrance and the fight against antisemitism, strengthening historical awareness and civic resilience across Europe.
