Welcome to the podcast series produced by Terraforming on the occasion of Malmö International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism– Remember ReAct.

The forum in Malmö, Sweden is held on October 13, 2021. Heads of state and government, researchers, experts, and civil society representatives from around 50 countries participate in the Malmö International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism, Remember ReAct. The purpose of the Forum is to jointly take concrete steps forward in the work on Holocaust remembrance and the fight against antisemitism.
