United Nations Information Centres
The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme provides the global network of United Nations Information Centres Services (UNIS) and Offices (UNOs) in over 60 countries with guidelines on Holocaust Remembrance Day, teaching materials on the Holocaust and its underlying issues, and ongoing guidance on related topics to promote the lessons of the Holocaust in order to help to prevent future acts of genocide. Every year, the United Nations Information Centres observe the International Day of Commemoration with civil society groups and government representatives.
