The German IHRA membership has fostered the cooperation and efforts of the numerous and diverse institutions focused on Holocaust remembrance, research and education throughout Germany. The vast number of memorials that have emerged since the Stockholm Declaration form part of Germany’s remembrance culture and provide an important basis for debates on its Nazi past. The most important outcome of Germany’s IHRA membership is the dialogue with colleagues from other countries, which has led to the realization of a variety of bilateral and multilateral projects.
