The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Research in Southeast Europe, officially established in January 2024 at the University of Rijeka, signifies an important moment in the commitment to advancing knowledge, fostering academic collaboration, and preserving the memory of historical events that have profoundly shaped our world. The vision of the Center is to facilitate local, microhistorical, comparative, interdisciplinary, as well as transnational approaches. The Center aims to serve as a hub for rigorous research and careful reflection. Its ultimate mission is to bridge the gap between local and global Holocaust and Genocide research and to increase the visibility of scholarship from Southeastern Europe.
