III. Development of Educational Tools Further country-specific tools and general recommendations based on compilations of good practices were developed in 2008 to support states in promoting mutual understanding and remembrance of the Holocaust. ODIHR broadened the number of participating states for which it has developed country-specific teaching materials on historical and contemporary anti-Semitism, including the history of the persecution of Jews in Europe. The Office carried out implementation activities, such as teacher training, in co-operation with governments in several countries, and conducted train-the-trainer seminars in Germany, Lithuania and Ukraine.
