She said:

“The National Holocaust Museum is a master piece. It puts the victim in the centre of attention in such a dignifying way and creates empathy. It was great to hear about the significant interest of schools to come and visit”.

The conversations with the representatives of these memorial institutions included possible cooperation regarding Holocaust remembrance programs, Holocaust education as an inoculation against antisemitism, and how to overcome current challenges related to the rise of antisemitism and polarisation of European society.
