GREM – Remembrance and Democratic Memorial

Project GREM: Game to Remember is a proactive response to the alarming rise of far-right and nationalist propaganda that seeks to distort modern history and diminish the significance of the Holocaust. These narratives often downplay the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime and its collaborators, infiltrating public and political discourse across Europe and enabling antisemitism and antigypsyism to creep into mainstream acceptance.

A group of five non-governmental organisations working with Jewish, Roma, and Sinti communities, youth, and professionals in the arts and education sectors has come together to develop and test an engaging tool for Holocaust remembrance rooted in gamification. The GREM team aims to honour and educate about the atrocities of the Holocaust by transforming existing research and personal testimonials into an innovative, experiential learning activity designed for classrooms: a detective mystery.

The Holocaust is one of the darkest chapters in human history, and to face this harsh reality, the AHEAD organization together with partner organisations engaged in the GREM Project.

Supported by the CERV programme of the European Commission, the main aim of this project is research on awareness-raising and remembrance of the victims of totalitarian regimes, as well as the creation of narratives and spaces of democratic memory in collaboration with various entities from all over Europe.
