ISRAEL IHRA PRESIDENCY

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) is an intergovernmental organization numbering 35 Member Countries, 6 Observer Countries and 9 Permanent International Partners.

The Israeli Presidency of IHRA (March 2025 – February 2026) is committed to providing valuable data, expertise and perspectives regarding the preservation and effective dissemination of Holocaust-related research,  education and commemoration.

The Israeli Presidency emphasizes that any meaningful engagement with the Shoah, and countering antisemitism, must be accurately grounded in the historical record, and as confirmed by up-to-date scholarship.

Thus, it is vital to ensure that younger historians and teachers in IHRA member nations, and elsewhere, take up research and education about the Holocaust. This must include recognition of the centrally and distinctly Jewish dimensions of the Shoah, as well as the significance of the genocide of the Roma.
