ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies

Okay kiddo, let me explain what the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies is.

You know how we learn about wars and bad things that happened in the past? Well, the NIOD Institute is a place where grown-ups can learn even more about those things. It's like a big library and museum all in one!

The people who work at the NIOD Institute study things like World War II and the bad things that happened during that time, like the Holocaust where many people were hurt just because of who they were. They also study other bad things, like genocides in other countries or when groups of people are treated unfairly and hurt because of their differences.

The people who work at the NIOD Institute use all sorts of things to learn more about these events, like old letters, pictures, and even interviews with people who were there. They try to understand why these bad things happened and how we can make sure they don't happen again in the future.

It's really important work that helps us learn from the past and make the world a better place, so that's why the NIOD Institute is so special.
