The Remember the Women Institute was represented at an international scientific conference in Moscow in October 2002, at the invitation of the Russian Holocaust Foundation and its director, Dr. Ilya Altman. The conference, entitled “The Lessons of the Holocaust and Contemporary Russia,” was held in conjunction with the Solomon Mikhoels International Art Festival.
