The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme strives to remind the world of the lessons to be learned from the Holocaust so as to help prevent future acts of genocide.
Since its establishment in 2005 with United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/7, the Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme has developed an international network of partners and a multifaceted programme that includes online and print educational products, DVDs, study guides for students, seminars, professional development programmes for teachers, a film series and a permanent exhibit at United Nations Headquarters in New York. The Programme’s work culminates each year with the worldwide observance of the International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust on 27 January.
The Holocaust Programme works closely with Holocaust survivors to ensure their stories are heard and heeded as a warning against the consequences of antisemitism and other forms of discrimination.
