Dear Teachers,

Following our first and second very successful seminar in 2017 and 2018,
The Budapest Holocaust Memorial Centre together with the Yahad-In Unum
research organization from France is organizing its 3rd ‘Holocaust by Bullets’
seminar for teachers on 6th -7th December 2019.
Yahad-In Unum (“Together in One” in Hebrew and Latin) is a Paris-based
non-profit organization established in 2004 by Father Patrick Desbois and
dedicated to systematically identifying and documenting sites of those mass
executions committed against the Jews and Roma in Eastern Europe.
Through its research work, based on a unique methodology, the association
has collected 6,627 testimonies of eyewitnesses and survivors of mass
shootings. To this day, Yahad has conducted 155 research trips in 9 eastern
European countries and has identified 2,750 extermination sites. YIU makes
its unique collection of testimonies available for the educational world. YIU’s
efforts are focused on the areas of Holocaust education, remembrance and
research, and genocide prevention projects. (for more information:

Yahad-In Unum Pilot Seminar “Learn Teach Apply” in partnership with
Budapest Holocaust Memorial Center was held in Budapest on 1st-2nd
December 2017, 26 teachers from Hungary, Croatia, Romania participated
and have been trained in the two-day programme held at the Budapest
Holocaust Memorial Centre. The seminar was a great success both from the
point of view of the participants and the organisers. The teachers were eager
to learn about the atrocities committed in German occupied Soviet territories
between 1941-44, a subject not discussed before; it was confirmed by the
positive feedback.
This year we are planning a 2-day seminar “Learn Teach Apply” adding
extra presentations on specific topics related to the killings by bullets of
Hungarian Jews to answer specific needs for Hungarian teachers and
students. Besides the lectures given by Yahad-In Unum, the presence of a
Hungarian and an Austrian expert on massacres/mass shootings committed
in the Western part of the country in 1945 will enrich the sharing of
knowledge and exchange concerning research. 30 participants/teachers
expected from Hungary, and other European countries.
Date: 6th- 7th December.
Venue: Holocaust Memorial Centre, 1094 Budapest, Páva utca 39.,
Language of the seminar: English

Deadline for Application: 15th October 2019
