TO BE EMPATHETIC UPSTANDERS

Choose Reconciliation
Whether or not you are the descendant of a Holocaust survivor, imagine the power of connecting with a survivor's hometown by inspiring students there to rekindle the memories children who were victims, possibly even your lost relatives? You can release generational trauma with a Butterfly Project, an IWalk, or choose from other education programs to help heal the world.

What is Antisemitism?
"Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities." - International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance
Our Work Changes Minds
generationE provides educators with tools and support to implement education programs from leading Holocaust organizations to inspire today’s students to become upstanders and actively reject intolerance in all its forms. By empowering young people to recognize and confront growing hatred, antisemitism and discrimination, we can make the world a safer place.

Upcoming Educational Programs

“Butterfly Project” at
Lausitzer Sportschool Cottbus
generationE is bringing the “Butterfly Project” to an increasing number of schools across Germany and Europe. Next to join the project—in July 2026—will be the Lausitzer Sportschule Cottbus. At this school, it is not only athletic success that counts, but also engaging with history.

Footprints of Remembrance
In 2026, generationE, together with Lebenshilfe Kreis Viersen, is launching the project "Footsteps of Remembrance” which commemorates children and adolescents with disabilities who fell victim to National Socialist crimes.
As part of an educational program, participants will create ceramic footprints that will serve as a visible and lasting symbol of remembrance for the murdered children and adolescents.

RE:ACT:
Protecting Historical Facts
The falsification and denial of the Holocaust not only negate historical facts; they pose a real threat to the stability of our democracy. As part of an EU funding program, generationE—together with European partners—will develop educational programs designed to counter the falsification and denial of the Holocaust.
