“The Holocaust and its legacy are a formative dimension of Israel’s national memory and identity as a Jewish and democratic state. That is reflected in Israel’s very substantial involvement in IHRA and unique contribution to the realization of the organization’s mandate and goals.”

The State of Israel remains appreciative of the distinct contribution offered by the IHRA’s very existence over the past 20 years, which has enabled meaningful, relevant and accurate Holocaust remembrance, education and research throughout the world. Obviously, the Shoah remains a deeply evocative, often charged issue for Israel and Israelis, and accordingly the work of Yad Vashem and other Israeli institutions reflects that unique, ever-present centrality. Through the unprecedented platform created by the IHRA on the diplomatic level, Israel has succeeded in developing close partnerships with various IHRA member governments, delegations and constituent institutions, together furthering worthy projects under the IHRA’s aegis.

קווי יסוד של הברית הבינלאומית לשימור זכר השואה (IHRA) לזיהוי תיעוד רלוונטי לחקר השואה, להוראתה ולשימור זכרה
תכליתם של קווי יסוד אלה היא להציע כלי אחיד לזיהוי תיעוד רלוונטי לחקר השואה, להוראתה ולשימור זכרה, שיסייע לארכיונים ולגופים אחרים להעריך את האוספים שברשותם ולהנגיש תיעוד רלוונטי. עבור מדינות הכפופות לתקנות הגנת הפרטיות הגדרה זו גם תסייע ביישום סעיף מס‘ 158 ,שכן יש בה כדי להציע הגדרה מעשית לביטוי ”מידע ספציפי הנוגע להתנהגות פוליטית תחת משטרים טוטליטריים לשעבר, רצח עם, פשעים כנגד האנושות, ובעיקר השואה“.
