The CWG promotes the work of the IHRA both internally across the member states and externally to governments, NGOs, the media and international partners. The CWG provides a platform for Holocaust experts from all member states to share projects and programs, and to inform members of initiatives and resources. Notable achievements over the past 15 years include the introduction — and subsequent overhaul — of the organization’s website and the rebranding of the organization from ITF to IHRA. The CWG can also take credit for the publication of various brochures and flyers, overseeing the translation of official IHRA documents and, together with the Education Working Group, creating guidelines on using social media in Holocaust education. The small, dynamic group of experts which comprise the CWG Steering Committee is ably supported by the wider group of CWG delegates, who serve in a liaison role within the other Working Groups. The CWG also works closely with current, past and present Chairmanships to ensure optimum and continuous communication strategies.
