The Living History Forum
History as reflection and lesson for the future. The Living History Forum is a Swedish public authority which, using the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity as a starting point, works with issues on tolerance, democracy and human rights.
With the Holocaust as a Starting Point
Our wish is to equip people with knowledge for the future, our goal is to work for everyone’s equal value.
Having an understanding of why people are intolerant, the form it takes and how geographically widespread it is, is crucial to finding ways of combating such attitudes.
We produce exhibitions and educational materials about topics where it is obvious that general perceptions and/or ideas have led to terrible actions.
Exhibition: "Play a role"
An exhibition about making a difference. About those who intervene and those who don’t.
A small exhibition about the Nazis looting of cultural objects and personal belongings during 1933 and 1945, as a part of the Holocaust.
An international prize, established in 2004 by the Swedish Government to promote initiatives supporting human rights.
Exchanging experiences and knowledge with institutions and experts in other countries is crucial in ensuring that the Forum maintains a high standard.
Coming soon -exhibition: Not the End
Artists interpret the Holocaust. The Living History Forum presents the international exhibition “Not the End” in the summer of 2019.
