Pecunia Olet: Aryanizing Jewish Shops in Gödöllő, Hungary
The latest EHRI Document Blog post by Borbála Klacsmann (University of Szeged) focuses on the aryanization of Jewish shops in Gödöllő, Hungary. Starting with the ground plan of the Gödöllő city hall, the post follows the decision of the town council to cancel the rent of Jewish shopkeepers situated there and the story of the shops afterwards. The post also opens a discussion on the processing of the aryanizations.
We would like to draw your attention to this call for applications for the funding programme "digital // memory". The EVZ Foundation has designed this funding programme to test digital formats for historical-civic education in Poland and Germany.
The author of this EHRI Document Blog post is Annelies van Nispen, giving inside into some of the work of WP13 on geo-referencing services for archives. Using a concrete example from NIOD's archival data, this blog post details an experiment in how to make collections searchable and findable on a map like Google Maps or Open Street Map. By extracting geographical units from the descriptions in EAD, this technique makes it possible to identify different pieces of information in archival descriptions and use this to enrich the metadata and the EHRI vocabularies.

The latest EHRI Document Blog post by Christa Mehany-Mitterrutzner (DÖW) and Wolfgang Schellenbacher (JMP) focuses on letters and postcards of deportees from the collections of the Documentation Centre of the Austrian Resistance in Vienna of the early Viennese transportations to ghettos in the “Generalgouvernement” in February and March 1941.
2018 was an eventful year for the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI). The 24 partners within the consortium worked hard and great milestones were reached, such as the integration of the 2,000th archival institution into the EHRI Portal and over 100 EHRI fellows that were invited to stay at one of the partner institutions during the last project period. Important highlights were also the Honorary Mention that EHRI received at the Prix Ars Electronica 2018 and last but not least our inclusion on the ESFRI (the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) Roadmap, which puts EHRI on its way to becoming a permanent organisation.
The EHRI Portal is one of our most important tools. It offers access to information on Holocaust-related archival material held in institutions across Europe and beyond. Several new archival collections were recently added to the EHRI Portal. Thanks to the cooperation between EHRI and the Yerusha project, 165 archival descriptions about Holocaust-relevant material held by several Czech State and City archives are now online available.
