The AJR is committed to the education of future generations about the Holocaust. It carries out this commitment in two ways: through grant-giving and also by producing several own resources. Although the over-riding priority of the organisation is to provide social, welfare and care services to Holocaust refugees and survivors, we also allocate a portion of our annual budget to support innovation in TLH because we, on behalf of our members, are committed to preserving the memory of those who perished and ensuring that history does not become distorted.

The AJR is also a member of the UK delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which brings together governments and non-governmental organisations to raise awareness of the Holocaust and place political and social leaders’ support behind the need for Holocaust education, remembrance, and research both nationally and internationally.

Grant Giving

The AJR is the UK’s largest dedicated funder of programmes and projects which promote teaching and learning about the Holocaust (TLH) in the United Kingdom. Although the over-riding priority of the organisation is to provide social, welfare and care services to Holocaust refugees and survivors, we also allocate a portion of our annual budget to support innovation in TLH because we, on behalf of our members, are committed to preserving the memory of those who perished and ensuring that history does not become distorted.

Resources

As well as supporting educational, research and commemorative projects, the AJR has produced several resources that will help create the legacy of the Jewish refugees and survivors shedding light on how they rebuilt their lives and their remarkable contribution to Britain. Our ground-breaking audio-visual testimony archive Refugee Voices which contains over 200 filmed testimonies is a great example of our work, as is Continental Britons, our Plaque Scheme and 'My Story' life story book project.
