The EVZ Foundation’s digital learning environment

The Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future is active in Germany, Europe and Israel. We pass on our experience and knowledge to anyone interested in the topics covered by the EVZ Foundation:

  • promoting a pluralistic and critical culture of remembrance,
  • countering antisemitism and antigypsyism
  • supporting survivors of Nazi persecution,
  • communicating the history of National Socialism and its lasting impact to the present day

Our online courses, moderated events and curated recommendations offer opportunities to build your skills, deepen your understanding and connect with others.

Compensated?!
Is it possible to compensate National Socialist forced laborers? This interactive e-learning course explains why it took so long for the injustices committed against forced laborers during the National Socialist era to be acknowledged, and in doing so, also traces the history of the EVZ Foundation’s establishment. The e-learning course invites participants to explore, in particular, the dilemmas and challenges that arose along the way. Engaging with this historical case encourages reflection on injustices in the past and present, as well as the question of reparations.
