This publication examines the role of Holocaust memorial sites and museums, drawing on findings from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) project ‘Discover the past for the future – A study on the role of historical sites and museums in Holocaust education and human rights education in the EU’. In the report examples are provides of the various ways in which memorial sites link the history of the Holocaust to human rights, ensuring that the past resonates in the present and its lessons are brought to bear on difficult contemporary issues against its backdrop. It offers a sampling of educational programmes at selected historical sites and museums that either address human rights directly or approach, in a more general way, the dignity of human life and the equality of all human beings.
