The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance is an active intergovernmental body headquartered in Berlin, Germany, with 35 member countries, one liaison country and seven observer countries as of its most recently recorded membership, a substantial expansion from the small founding group Goran Persson first assembled in 1998. Its member governments coordinate Holocaust education, research and remembrance policy across the alliance, the same mandate it has carried since that founding, now spread across three tiers of formal participation.
In 2016 the alliance adopted a non-legally-binding working definition of antisemitism, which has since been endorsed or adopted by numerous national governments, universities and other institutions worldwide, making it the alliance's most widely cited output beyond its founding remembrance and education mandate. Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, invited by founder Goran Persson to join the 1998 initiative from its outset, gave that founding effort a breadth of international backing few Holocaust era commemorative bodies had carried before it, a foundation the alliance's later growth to 35 member countries built on directly.
