The project WITNESS-REM seeks to strengthen Holocaust remembrance across Europe by addressing alarming gaps in historical knowledge, rising antisemitism, and the risks of distortion and denial. Through a transnational consortium of partners from Hungary, Austria, Germany, Ukraine, and Portugal, the initiative combines in-situ remembrance, intergenerational dialogue, and innovative digital tools to foster awareness, empathy, and democratic resilience among young people aged 13–22, descendants of survivors, and communities at large.

The project is a collaboration of 6 organisations from 5 countries (Hungary, Germany, Austria, Ukraine, Portugal) where we have sought to develop a partnership that allows the widest possible European cooperation both horizontally and vertically. Each organisation has an excellent knowledge of the civil society in its country, is able to reach a wide audience and through the joint project we will be able to share the synergies and take them forward in the long term.
