Norwegian Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies (HL-SENTERET)

About the center The Norwegian Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies in Oslo conducts excellent research and education on both their fields of interest; the Holocaust and minorities, in Norway and globally. They also carry out a vast variety of communications activities, including an annual program of some 60 events and exhibitions. The political situation in Europe and the rest of the world—increasingly marked by xenophobic, anti-freedom and authoritarian tendencies, and combined with terrorism and mass migration—makes the Norwegian Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies' (CHMS) contribution to fundamental knowledge, educational practices and, public debate ever more important.  CHMS is an independent, non-profit foundation, with a comprehensive mandate to conduct research, document and disseminate knowledge about the Holocaust and other genocides, racism and antisemitism, gross violations of human rights and the situation of minorities in the modern world.
