Following the adoption of the Stockholm Declaration, the Polish government added Holocaust education to school curricula. Holocaust research has developed tremendously since 2000 — now all major universities offer courses in Jewish and Holocaust Studies. The Perpetual Fund of the Auschwitz Birkenau Foundation, which provides the necessary resources for the conservation of the former camp, was also established.
Cooperation with the IHRA has helped to facilitate a more open dialogue within Poland, and in the last fifteen years an honest, multidimensional debate on Polish-Jewish wartime relations has developed. Thanks to the shared efforts of historians, educators, and politicians, the Holocaust has become an important part of public discourse.
IWalks brings personal memory and pedagogy together in creative ways to help students connect to Holocaust history and keep its memory alive.
The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde has launched a mission to clarify whether there could be a Holocaust grave site linked to the forced evacuation operation from the Stutthof concentration camp.
Międzynarodowy Sojusz na rzecz Pamięci o Holokauście (IHRA) jednoczy rządy i ekspertów, aby umacniać, rozwijać i promować edukację, pamięć i badania na temat Holokaustu na całym świecie, a także aby dbać o wypełnianie zobowiązań wynikających z Deklaracji Sztokholmskiej z 2000 r.
Niniejsza definicja jest wyrazem przeświadczenia, że negowaniu Holokaustu i zniekształcaniu prawdy historycznej o tym wydarzeniu należy przeciwstawiać się i potępiać je na poziomie krajowym i międzynarodowym oraz badać to zjawisko na poziomie globalnym.
