One of the main goals of the foundation is genocide prevention. Therefore, we invest in educating people. We bring Holocaust survivors to school classes to talk about their past experiences. Additionally, we organise interviews and talks with Holocaust survivors to spread the word and inform people about the atrocities of the Holocaust.

The Gamaraal Foundation, together with the Sigi Feigel Visiting Professorship for Jewish Studies at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Zurich, is organizing a lecture series in the fall semester of 2023, which will no longer be able to take place in a few years: The focus is on the contemporary testimony of survivors of the Shoah, who lived there as children or experienced as young people.
During the Spring semester 2019, a research seminar of the Center for Jewish Studies in Basel on the topic “Oral History and Jewish History in Switzerland” was held in cooperation with the Archive for Contemporary History at the ETH of Zuerich and the Gamaraal Foundation. Interviews with contemporary witnesses of Swiss-Jewish history and Shoah-Resplendence were conducted.
