As ESHEM has not yet welcomed its first members, this section presents examples of good practices drawn from initiatives outside the network. While not eligible for membership, these projects are relevant to the values and methods that inspire ESHEM.
Over time, this section will expand to feature practices from ESHEM members and new initiatives emerging across Europe.
We use the term “good practices” rather than “best practices” to emphasise that meaningful work with Holocaust memory is context-specific, reflective, and evolving, not bound by fixed standards and a one-size-fits-all approach. These examples illustrate creative, ethical, and collaborative approaches to engaging with remembrance and education.
