From 2 to 5 June 2019, the 33 Member States of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) held their first plenary session under the Luxembourg chairmanship. It took place in Mondorf-les-Bains and was chaired by Ambassador Georges Santer. The Mondorf Plenary was a meeting where IHRA’s expert and political level came together to discuss and move forward with projects relating to Holocaust research, remembrance, and education. The next plenary session is due to be held in Luxembourg City from 2 to 5 December 2019.
“A half truth is worse than a full lie,” said IHRA Honorary Chairman Professor Yehuda Bauer on the dangers of Holocaust distortion in member countries. Safeguarding the record and countering distortion is the IHRA’s priority theme for the next five years, and during the IHRA meetings four experts took part in an open, unscripted discussion moderated by Klaus Mueller (USHMM) to explore the spectrum of distortion from a variety of perspectives.
