1. Commemoration of and research and education about crimes committed under totalitarian regimes particularly the Holocaust

Holocaust remembrance, research and education will be a priority of the call. Projects under this priority should:

• and/or consider to transform research, memorial sites and testimonies of Holocaust survivors into practical educational tools for all parts of society in particular multipliers such as policymakers, state officials and societal leaders;
• and/or pay particular attention to tackle the challenge of Holocaust denial and distortion, offline and online.

The EU Roma strategic framework on equality, inclusion and participation, and the EU Strategy on Combating Antisemitism & Fostering Jewish Life (2021-2030) should be considered by projects during their implementation.
