Fourth online conference - Holocaust remembrance policies in Europe by Alban Perrin - April 15 2026
The fourth online lecture focused on memory policies in Europe and was delivered by Alban Perrin, historian at the Shoah Memorial in Paris.
The session explored how Holocaust remembrance has gradually been integrated into national narratives and European collective memory since the end of the Second World War.
Through a comparative perspective, participants examined the diverse ways European countries have acknowledged, institutionalized, and sometimes contested Holocaust remembrance according to their historical, political, and cultural contexts.
The lecture highlighted the central role of Holocaust memory in shaping European identity and democratic values while providing participants with essential historical and political tools to understand these evolving processes.
Drawing on his extensive experience in Holocaust education and remembrance, Alban Perrin offered a rigorous analysis of the challenges involved in preserving historical memory across contemporary Europe.
