Type of Organization or Mission: The Living History Forum is a government agency with the mission to promote democracy, human rights, and the equal value of all people. Through knowledge of history, we aim to encourage reflection and learning about the connections between the past and the present. Our work is based on lessons from the Holocaust, crimes against humanity committed by communist regimes as well as other crimes against humanity throughout history. The agency also has a special mandate to increase and deepen knowledge about antisemitism, antigypsyism, and other forms of racism and intolerance. Our efforts focus on knowledge, culture, and education. We develop exhibitions, professional training, reports, educational materials for schools, and organize seminars and discussions. Our activities take place throughout Sweden, either digitally or on-site, often in collaboration with local, national, and international partners.

The Living History Forum manages The Per Anger Prize, the Swedish Governments human rights and democracy prize. Named after Per Anger who, as secretary of the Swedish legation in Budapest, initiated Sweden’s work to save as many Jews as possible during the Second World War in Nazi-occupied Hungary. The organization also actively promotes the commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day on the 27 January and coordinates the Swedish delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).

Type of Organization or Mission: The Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow exists to celebrate the Jewish culture of Galica and to commemorate those killed in the Holocaust, presenting Jewish history from a new perspective.

Services: Guided museum tours; interactive guided museum tours; Educational workshops and lectures on Jewish culture and tradition or Holocaust related topics; Meetings with Holocaust and concentration camp survivors or Righteous Among the Nations award recipients; Arts and crafts workshops; International youth exchanges; Seminars and training programs for teachers and tour guides; Book launches; Film screenings; Jewish dance workshops; Children and family programs; Guided walking tours of Jewish Krakow and Old Town; Private and group visits to the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum; Jewish bookstore; Children and family programs; Café; Catering

Permanent Exhibition: At the heart of the Museum is the permanent exhibition, Traces of Memory: A Contemporary Look at the Jewish Past in Poland. The exhibition pieces together a picture of the relics and culture of Jewish life in Polish Galicia that can still be seen today, interpreting these traces in a manner that is informative, accessible, and thought-provoking. The exhibition offers a lament of the destroyed Jewish civilization that once flourished in this country, remembers the location where annihilation took place, and gives credit to commemorative efforts that have occurred since the Holocaust. As the exhibition document traces Jewish presence in dozens of places, it allows us to localize the story, relaying to visitors a narrative not of strangers but rather their former neighbors.

Type of Organization or Mission: The Auschwitz Jewish Center is an affiliate of the Museum of Jewish Heritage: A Living Memorial to the Holocaust and is located in Oswiecim, Poland, less than two miles from Auschwitz and Birkenau. Opened to the public in September 2000, the Auschwitz Jewish Center began as a venue of solace, reflection and prayer for visitors. It is a representation of life juxtaposed against the death of the camps. The Center works to individualize the enormity of the near destruction of the Polish-Jewish community through a tangible exhibition. Over the years it has emerged into an institution of exhibition, memorial, and active education. The Center continues to support the expansion of the educational center which houses a library and genealogical research room, meeting rooms, exhibitions, and the synagogue.
