About

The overall aim of Connecting Law & Memory is to create a coordinating forum and network for sharing and benchmarking expertise, intending to strengthen the civil service resilience through discussion, reflection and dilemma training. This will offer tools and attitudes to prevent and resist racist, xenophobic, homophobic behavior or other forms of intolerance – frequently aggravated by peer pressure and/or group loyalty – within law enforcement and other civil service institutions.

We want to connect, link, share and benchmark existing outreach programs, good practices and experiences. We do so by organizing a series of conferences stretched out over three years. The participants are a mix of decision makers and educators working at museums, memorials and civil service bodies involved in setting up training programs in human rights – based on Holocaust and genocide studies – with an emphasis on bringing together both civil servants (especially law enforcement) and museums & memorials or showing a strong interest to do this in the future.

This website was set up to meet the main objective of the project: to set up an international forum for sharing knowledge and bringing people together.
