Sites where the Holocaust happened are key to the future of remembrance. The IHRA encourages memorials and museums to strengthen and advance the field, and builds governments’ political will to safeguard these places for the future.
The IHRA’s expert-led tools help governments, memorial and museum professionals, and local communities protect and learn from sites.
Learn about the risks facing Holocaust-related sites and what you can do to mitigate them.
The International Memorial Museums Charter provides memorial museums with internationally agreed-upon principles and ethics for commemorating the victims of the Holocaust.
All sites face challenges. Overcoming them requires that key players, such as governments and local communities, work together. Learn more about how the IHRA helps facilitate cooperation and how you can take part by visiting our Explore page on safeguarding sites.
