Description
The Claims Conference supports projects that advance and deepen knowledge of the Shoah through rigorous research, educational initiatives, and documentation. Work must address the persecution of Jews by Nazis and their collaborators, or its consequences. Supported activities include original scholarship, publications and translations, educational programs, archival access, exhibitions, testimony recording, new media, and film.
The program emphasizes historical rigor, public accessibility, and measurable impact. Research priorities include Jewish experiences and perspectives, Holocaust denial and distortion, educational effectiveness, and the opportunities and threats of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence. Education priorities include understanding antisemitism and the Holocaust’s antecedents, countering misinformation, and demonstrating how learning changes teaching practice, institutional engagement, or audience reach.
