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).

They strengthen our shared purpose of ensuring the lessons of the Holocaust continue to inspire individuals to counter intolerance and hate. We have 3 pillars of engagement for growth: 1) We Cultivate: We help local 3G groups (grandchildren of survivors) throughout the United States thrive and build their communities. Currently there are 10 established organizations, and we intend encourage groups to form in major cities throughout the country. As well, we are focused on creating partnerships and affiliations with existing Holocaust institutions to create a strong relationship to the next generation of leaders; 2) We Educate: The centerpiece of our organization is a Speaker Training Program to guide 3Gs to learn and share their family stories compellingly with schools, organizations, and community groups. As well, we will provide programs that deepen our understanding of the Holocaust and inspire us to confront contemporary issues; and 3) We Advocate: We will use the unique moral voice of the 3G community to speak out on contemporary issues.
