23-27/11/1992 : “History and remembrance of Nazi crimes and genocides”
The Auschwitz Foundation organized this major international conference in collaboration with the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL), the University of Liège, the ULB Institute of Sociology, the University of Antwerp, Antwerp University Center, the University Center Sint-Ignatius Antwerp, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL) and the Brussels Goethe Institute.
It aimed to carry out a systematic and critical study of the different means of transmitting remembrance of Nazi crimes and genocides, through history, archives, testimony, narratives, museums, monuments, commemorations, literature, the cinema, other media and education in schools. The status, structures, functioning and impact of each of these means were analyzed, together with their specific contribution to the transmission of remembrance. This task was carried out by 11 working groups, each of which analyzed one means of remembrance in particular: "Places of Remembrance-Survivors and Heirs", "History and Remembrance", "Testimony and Archives", "Literature", "Cinema", "Other Media" "Museums", "Monuments and Commemorations", "Education", "Psychological Transmission Processes" and "The Arts and Remembrance".
In all, over 130 contributors from European and US universities participated in the various working groups.

Auschwitz Foundation – Remembrance of Auschwitz
The Auschwitz Foundation was founded in 1980 by Paul Halter, an Auschwitz survivor. Replacing the Amicale Belge des Ex-Prisonniers politiques d’Auschwitz-Birkenau Camps et Prisons de Silésie, the primary objective of the Auschwitz Foundation is to study the history and memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the Nazi terror in a sustainable and systematic way. The transmission of memory and the preservation of archives concerning these events complete this goal.
On the other hand, the Auschwitz Foundation does not want to limit itself to Auschwitz or the Holocaust, and this is expressed in the interest the Foundation has in all mass crimes committed by authoritarian regimes. The work and projects it carries out are resolutely multidisciplinary and extend to all mass crimes and crimes committed in the long historic term or in contemporary history.
To carry out this considerable task, the Auschwitz Foundation set up a Study and Documentation Centre in 2004: Remembrance of Auschwitz. Thanks to this new institution, which has a permanent staff of ten specialists, the promotion of scientific research and multidisciplinary publications has increased significantly.
