BRIDGE Main Challenge: A.4. Fragmented management of cultural diversity and weak institutionalisation of intercultural dialogue
Holocaust remembrance in Europe often underrepresents Central European and minority perspectives, while public memory remains insufficiently connected to contemporary discrimination, social exclusion and democratic participation. This limits intercultural dialogue and the meaningful inclusion of groups whose experiences have been marginalised in research, education and remembrance.
CEMORY combines research, education, artistic remembrance and participatory methods. It integrates minority and Central European perspectives through academic work, seminars, podcasts, deliberative theatre and the travelling Lost Space exhibition, creating spaces for dialogue on memory, discrimination, human rights and democratic participation.
CEMORY is a transnational Polish-Czech initiative that rethinks Holocaust remembrance as a contemporary tool for inclusion, intercultural dialogue and democratic participation. It combines research, education, public discussion, podcasts, deliberative theatre and the travelling Lost Space exhibition, while foregrounding Central European and underrepresented perspectives, including minority, migrant and refugee experiences.
The practice addresses exclusion within Holocaust remembrance and public memory. Central European experiences and the perspectives of women, Roma, Muslims, LGBTQ+ persons, people with disabilities, migrants and refugees can remain underrepresented. At the same time, societies face antisemitism, racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, polarisation and weak intercultural dialogue.
How societies remember the Holocaust shapes contemporary understandings of diversity, rights and exclusion. More inclusive memory practices can connect historical reflection with present-day discrimination, strengthen critical thinking and social cohesion, and create spaces in which underrepresented groups participate in public dialogue.
CEMORY strengthens intercultural dialogue by bringing diverse memory cultures into shared educational and public spaces. It also addresses structural inequalities in representation, expands civic participation through deliberative methods, and develops critical thinking needed to recognise disinformation, hate speech and manipulation of Holocaust memory.
The project links three pillars: research, education and artistic remembrance. Academic findings inform seminars, podcasts and public learning; the Lost Space exhibition uses multisensory artistic interpretation; and deliberative theatre creates structured spaces for dialogue and collective reflection. Stakeholders and underrepresented groups contribute through participatory and co-creative activities.
