The research work entailed goes hand in hand with the duty of education and is often a difficult task because the right balance must be struck between emotion and analysis, and it must be adapted to the audience and the questions pondered. Each day, men and women, educators and teachers work on and think about conveying knowledge of these historical events to young people. UNESCO supports the community of researchers and teachers worldwide by taking part in the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, in educational workshops held by the UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network and through the education programme on holocaust remembrance and tolerance. We contribute to the production of learning materials such as the handbook for teachers in sub-Saharan Africa. UNESCO also sponsors ALADDIN, a cultural project launched in March 2009 in conjunction with the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah to counter all forms of negationism and to promote intercultural dialogue, particularly between Jews and Muslims.
