What We Do
Mission Statement
Ensuring a sustainable future for digital Holocaust memory.
Our Vision
We see a future in which global Holocaust memory and education is shaped by fitting digital strategies, informed by digital literacies, and supported by appropriate digital capacities.
Our vision is to shape this future by creating a community informed by transdisciplinary exchange, rigorous research, and an inclusive, global outlook. We will achieve this by being vigilant to social, political and technological change; critically innovative rather than being led simply by the latest trends; and by embracing nuance, collaboration and dissensus rather than always seeking easy answers and consensus. We are led by curiosity and the areas lesser explored, and our working practices as well as our outputs are shaped by listening, cultural sensitivity, respect, taking responsibility, and making decisions that are deliberate and lead to sustainable outcomes that best serve the future of the Holocaust memory and education sector.
