- The Fondation de la Mémoire Contemporaine (FMC) was created in 1994. This academic research institution is one of the key partners of the CIERL (Centre Interdisciplinaire d’Étude des Religions et de la Laïcité – ULB). The objective of the FMC is to improve our knowledge of the history of the Jews in Belgium and of their contribution to the national community in the 20th century. The researchers of the FMC conduct scientific studies on the history of the Jews in Belgium during the 20th century. The institution also collects biographical documentation on important personalities of the Belgian Jewish community, theses, archival material, audio and video testimonies and iconographic material regarding various aspects of Jewish life in Belgium. The work of its researchers is published in the form of monographs. The FMC also publishes an annual journal, Les Cahiers de la Mémoire contemporaine – Bijdragen tot de eigentijdse Herinnering, consisting of academic contributions to Jewish history in Belgium.
