Our events

Every year, the University of Essex presents a week-long programme of events to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, and explore discrimination that still exists today.

The Dora Love Prize is a schools citizenship initiative which teaches young people to take an active stand against hatred, discrimination and intolerance in the world today. Informed by the Holocaust, it takes a broad, inclusive approach, incorporating the stories and experiences of all groups persecuted by the Nazis, without losing sight of its origins and significance for the European Jewish and the Sinti Roma communities. Its core message is that if the human rights of one group are violated, no one can feel safe.
