Research and travel grants┋History of Anti-semitism and the Shoah
The Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah offers doctoral, post-doctoral and research travel grants.
The Foundation funds research on Holocaust-related topics, including its roots and its consequences to the present day, and the study of contemporary anti-Semitism. It also backs research on other 20th-century genocides.
The Foundation gives precedence to projects that open up new fields of knowledge and take an original approach, especially if it draws upon comparative history.
It also attaches importance to European, international and interdisciplinary perspectives that combine historical, anthropological, sociological, legal, philosophical, psychological or literary analyses.
Projects involving the French aspects of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust and/or young researchers will receive particular attention.
