Centre for Holocaust Research and Education (CHRE)
CHRE is an independent organization established in Belgrade in 2014, with the aim to actively contribute to the social, historical and factual interpretation of the Holocaust, the genocide of the Roma, and crimes against humanity committed during the Second World War in Serbia and Yugoslavia. CHRE is engaged on the analysis of historical narratives by conducting archival, narrative, and field research, as well as fact-finding activities. The organization strives to offer to the public an independent outlook on the events of the Holocaust, genocide of the Roma and forced labour; other activities entail documentation publishing, mapping of locations of historical events, documenting testimonies and changes in social and topographic structures which affect policy-making and memory culture. CHRE believes that voices of the participants and witnesses can be conveyed through testimonies as well as key documents and that their messages must find a rightful place in the public discourse, education, and commemoration.

The Foundation’s capital of EUR 5.2 billion was provided by the German Government and German industry. A total of EUR 358 million was set aside as Foundation capital in order to finance project support. The Foundation finances its long-term funding activities out of the income generated by this capital.
