The European Network of Remembrance and Solidarity was created by the ministers of culture of Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. In 2014 Romania joined the Network. Its purpose is to document and promote the study oftwentieth-century history and how this is remembered. Its fields of interest center on periods of dictatorial rule, wars, and resistance to oppression. It supports academic research, educational projects and promotional events through an international network of scholars and ENRS partner institutions. The Network's activities contribute to building better relations between European societies through discussing our common past.
