The institute on the Holocaust and Genocide was founded in Jerusalem, in 1979, by Israeli scholars Israel W. Charny, Shamai Davidson and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel.[1]
In 1982 the institute on the Holocaust and Genocide held an interdisciplinary, multiple ethnic conference on the genocides of all peoples "First International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide",[2] while the New York Times and other world press reported about the efforts of several governments to close the conference down.[3] In particular, despite reported Turkish threats of reprisals against Israel and Turkish Jews, it included also lections[clarification needed] on Armenian genocide.[4]
Among the notable publications of Institute are "Medical and Psychological Effects of Concentration Camps on Holocaust Survivors" by Robert Krell, Marc I. Sherman and Elie Wiesel (Transaction Publishers, 1988), "Genocide: A Critical Bibliographic Review" by Israel W. Charny, Vol. 1, 1988; Vol. 2, 1991 (London, re-issued in New York City), "Enciclopedia of Genocide" (Santa Barbara, 1999) and "Holding on to Humanity - The Message of Holocaust Survivors" by Shamai Davidson (New York University Press, 1992).
Since 1987 the institute on the Holocaust and Genocide has published a newsletter, Internet on Holocaust and Genocide, which covers studies, books and magazine articles on Holocaust and other genocides.[5]
