Break the Echo is a European project dedicated to addressing Holocaust denial, distortion and antisemitism through education, remembrance, and the active engagement of professionals and young people. Inspired by the idea of breaking the echoes of hatred, intolerance, and historical manipulation, the project promotes learning from the past to shape a better future.
The project brings together education, remembrance, and dialogue to explore new ways of understanding and communicating the history of the Holocaust, with a focus on contemporary challenges such as denial, distortion, and antisemitism.
It connects professionals from museums, memorial sites, and educational institutions, creating opportunities to exchange experiences, develop skills, and learn from each other. The project also engages young people in exploring the history of the Holocaust and its relevance today. Through educational activities and dialogue, participants reflect on the importance of memory, democracy, and human rights, and are encouraged to become active ambassadors of remembrance.
Break the Echo creates a European space for exchange and cooperation, bringing new perspectives to Holocaust remembrance and helping preserve its importance for future generations at historical sites and in digital spaces.
