Dates: October 24 - 27, 2024 Location: Daruvar and Jasenovac, Croatia. Jasenovac Memorial site, situated in present-day Croatia, collects, processes and presents museum and archive material on the Ustasha concentration camp Jasenovac, takes care of monuments and mass grave sites and teaches young people about the history of the camp and respect for diversity. Jasenovac is a site of memory emblematic of the Holocaust in Europe, yet its specific history is not well known beyond the borders of former Yugoslavia. This lack of wider knowledge about discrimination and mass prosecution of Serbs, Roma and Jews by the Ustasha regime in the Independent State of Croatia during the Second World War, especially in Jasenovac camp, holds vital lessons crucial to understanding the broader history of the Holocaust and genocide. The Jasenovac Remembrance Initiative is a collaborative effort to increase the visibility and international outreach of the Jasenovac Memorial Site as an educational center promoting peace and understanding. Supported by the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ), our initiative aims to enrich existing Jasenovac educational content and expand its international visibility and international partnerships.

The Public Institution Jasenovac Memorial Site, in collaboration with the Kreisau-Initiative e. V. and the Croatian Education and Development Network for the Evolution of Communication - HERMES, generously supported by the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ), invites applications from qualified experts to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment for the "Jasenovac Remembrance Initiative". The Jasenovac Remembrance Initiative aims to establish a lasting legacy of remembrance of Holocaust and genocide victims by promoting peace, tolerance and active citizen participation. Through enhanced educational content, international engagement and collaborative partnerships, we seek to inspire reflection, learning and research at the Jasenovac Memorial Site.
