All its programmes have been awarded the official label of the European Year of Cultural Heritage. 2018 was the final year that AEJM and the Jewish Museum Berlin were able to benefit from a multiple-year grant from the German Federal Foreign Office, which allowed us to organise ten successful curatorial seminars in five years. The final editions of the Advanced Curatorial Education Pro- gramme were held in Frankfurt and Jerusalem. It is my pleasure to thank our organising team in Vienna, Dr. Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek and Dr. Michaela Feurstein-Prasser, for their enthusiasm and dedication that were key to turning our curatorial seminars into a success. We warmly thank our partners and sponsors, first and foremost the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe for its continuing support. Without the commitment of the following AEJM members as partner institutions, our activities could not have been successful: the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives in Budapest, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, and Museum “Jews in Latvia” in Riga, the Jewish Museum Frankfurt, and The Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The AEJM team was also instrumental in organising all our activities and I would like to thank our team in Amsterdam for all their efforts: Managing Director Eva Koppen, Communication Officer Robbie Schweiger, and Conference Coordinator Nikki Boot.

The desire to create a unified, pan-European historical narrative has been challenged by the expansion of the European Union. Previous Western European discourse of history has been confronted by the alternative perspectives of many former Soviet countries, such as Poland, Hungary, and the Baltic states. One of the greatest challenges to a new, inclusive pan-European narrative has been the perceived exclusion of Holocaust recognition in these former Soviet-bloc countries – a topic made more volatile considering the vast majority of the violence of the Holocaust

In Lithuania, Jewish secular and religious institutions flourished. With more than 100 synagogues and some of the leading rabbinical schools of Europe, Vilnius was affectionately known as the Jerusalem of Lithuania. The YIVO Institute — the leading academic institution for the study of Yiddish language and literature — was founded in Vilnius, and the Gaon of Vilna was an acknowledged and world-renowned Talmudist and scholar. In nearby Latvia and Estonia, Jews also played important roles in the economic and intellectual life of their countries.
