IHRA Grant Program

The IHRA Grant Program enables us to support the work of other organizations by funding their projects that counter distortion and safeguard the record.

How we work

We work as an international forum, bringing together experts and policymakers from different countries and disciplines to live up to the commitments they made to remember the Holocaust and genocide of the Roma.

By exchanging knowledge and experiences, our delegates work in partnership to develop practical solutions to shared challenges in areas like education, archival access, countering Holocaust distortion, preserving sites, and developing exhibits.

Our regular Plenary Meetings enable people around the world to connect with each other, to build cooperation and set standards on key issues.

Outcomes from the Zagreb Plenary Meetings, November 2023

Our Plenary Meetings enable IHRA delegates from around the world to connect with each other, to build cooperation and set standards on key issues. Our most recent Plenary Meetings took place from 27 to 30 November 2023, and were held in Zagreb under the Croatian IHRA Presidency.

Progress was made across many of our Focus Areas, with all the Working Groups and Committees able to meet and discuss the projects and initiatives currently underway.
