The SIG wants to promote knowledge about Judaism in Switzerland. Under the heading «Factsheets», short and easily understandable information is provided on selected topics. These include Jewish religion, culture, history and the Shoah. The texts contained in the factsheets may be used or published in their entirety or in extracts, provided the source «SIG Factsheets» is named.

Offers with regard to prevention and conveying knowledge about the Shoah

In addition to the factsheets, the SIG also has specifically tailored material on offer for teachers and their classes. Teachers in the German-speaking part of Switzerland can benefit from a two-part course on the Shoah and methods of teaching about it in class. And the dialogue and education programme Likrat is designed to help make students more aware of Judaism and Jewish life.
