Holocaust Education, Remembrance, and Research in Ireland
On 1 December 2011 Ireland became a full Member Country of the ITF. This webpage is currently under construction; information on Holocaust education, remembrance and research in Ireland will be forthcoming shortly.International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2012:
Ireland's National Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration, in association with Holocaust Education Trust Ireland, The Department of Justice and Equality, and Dublin City Council, will take place on Sunday, 29 January 2012 from 6-8 pm at the Mansion House, Dublin 2.
The 10th Holocaust Memorial Day will be marked in Ireland on the evening of 29 January 2012 at a ceremony in the Mansion House, Dublin. Holocaust Education Trust Ireland (HETI), in association with the Department of Justice and Equality, and Dublin City Council, organises the national commemoration and several other events to mark International Holocaust Memorial Day. As a signatory of Stockholm Declaration, Ireland has undertaken to commemorate the Holocaust every year and to teach the lessons from it for the future.
The President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins will attend and participate in the ceremony by giving a short keynote address. The commemoration in Ireland is always about the Holocaust, the destruction of the Jews of Europe by the Nazis and their collaborators. This year we will also be considering the destruction of Jewish culture. Some of the readings refer specifically to this and some of the readers are drawn from the sphere of Irish arts and culture.
The commemoration cherishes the memory of those who perished and recalls the millions of innocent men, women and children persecuted during the Nazi Holocaust because of their ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliations or their religious beliefs. The ceremony includes readings, survivors' recollections, candle-lighting and music.
To coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day, Holocaust Education Trust Ireland will be displaying the exhibition The Holocaust in Europe, in association with the Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris. It will be displayed in Dublin and afterwards it will tour Ireland. The Annual Holocaust Memorial Lecture will be delivered by Prof. Richard J. Evans on the 2 February in association with HETI and Trinity College Dublin.
