The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure has developed, among its Online Courses, a Swirl-based online learning environment based on the R programming language. Each course lesson is devoted to a single topic, providing examples, exercises, self-assessment questions and references.

EHRI's associate partner, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) Archives has just unveiled a new comprehensive webpage for its Historic Film, Video, and Audio Collection to mark its recent and significant progress in digitizing and preserving previously “hidden” treasures: historic film, video, and audio materials, from the 1920s up through the early 2000s,

Team members of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) from King’s College London and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum have created a series of guides to help researchers of the Holocaust and other related fields use digital tools in their research.

The latest EHRI Document Blog post by Zoltán Vági and Gábor Kádár takes a close look at the history of the Warsaw Concentration Camp. As the SS destroyed the majority of relevant documents before evacuating the camp in the summer of 1944, knowledge on this concentration camp is therefore rather scarce. The post attempts to reconstruct the history of the Warsaw Concentration Camp by analyzing testimonies of 60 camp survivors, held by the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives.

GI_Forum 2020 | 7-10 July 2020 | Salzburg Austria

In 2020, GI_Forum has a special thematic track 'Remembrance and Geomedia', which is organised in cooperation with EHRI.

Thematic Focus 2020: Remembrance and Geomedia

Maps, open databases and geomedia open up completely new avenues for place remembrance and education. Linked to location, they make scientific and historic documentation available to lay people, inspire discussions on authenticity and allow new and explorative approaches both along the digital humanities as well as for learning environments.

The Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies (VWI) invites applications for its fellowships for the academic year 2020/2021.

The VWI is an academic institution dedicated to the research and documentation of antisemitism, racism, nationalism and the Holocaust. Conceived and established during Simon Wiesenthal’s lifetime, the VWI receives funding from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research, the Federal Chancellery as well as the City of Vienna. Research at the institute focuses on the Holocaust in its European context, including its antecedents and its aftermath.

As an international platform that explores the meaning of the Holocaust as a European phenomenon, the EHRI project felt it appropriate to discuss the Holocaust in its 21^st century societal and international dimensions. The societal challenges and technological changes make Holocaust Studies an ever-changing multidisciplinary field. Therefore an international conference was organized to enable established scholars, young researchers and other interested parties to take stock of the current situation and exchange their views. The result was a lively event, emphasizing the need for transnational collaboration in research and education.

The international conference Holocaust Studies and its Social Setting: Challenges and Trends was organised within the framework of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure and took place in Amsterdam on July 3, 2019. It marked the conclusion of the second phase of the EHRI project. Therefore, the main ambition of this conference was to discuss the achievements of the project, to focus on the importance of EHRI's human network and to reflect on the important interaction between Holocaust research and society at large.

The latest issue of Forum Historiae, the semi-annual journal of the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, is published in cooperation with the Holocaust Documentation Center in Bratislava under the framework of the EHRI project.
