Mission and strategy
Our mission and purpose
Our mission and purpose are based on the Stockholm Declaration and the Statement of Commitment created at the Stockholm Conference on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, in the year 2000. These form the basis of our charitable objectives.
Our purpose is to promote and support Holocaust Memorial Day as the UK’s national Day to commemorate the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, all victims of Nazi Persecution and those who have been murdered in subsequent genocides; to encourage people to learn lessons from the past and take steps to challenge hatred and persecution.
Our vision & values
Underpinned by our commitment to the Stockholm Declaration and the Statement of Commitment, our vision is:
Learning from genocide – for a better future
Our values are to demonstrate behaviours that are expert, compassionate and transparent. We form partnerships where appropriate and effective, and signpost to other organisations.
Our goals
