A new EHRI Document Blog post on Hungary is out!
Archivists of the EHRI associate partner Hungarian National Archives, László Csősz and Laura Csonka take a microhistorical approach to the last phase of the Holocaust, and examine events that unfolded in the span of one week in one neighborhood of Budapest.
We would like to invite those working in the field of Holocaust research and documentation to submit their application for the international EHRI Seminar: "'Polish' Sources for Holocaust Research - Challenges and Methodological Problems", to be held at the Polish Center for Holocaust Research, Warsaw 24-29 September, 2017.
Much of the primary source material on which Holocaust research is based can be found in archives. EHRI not only provides online access to many such archives through its Online Portal, but it also creates (digital) tools and methods that enable researchers and archivists to collaboratively work with these sources.
As part of its mission to support the Holocaust research community by building a digital infrastructure and facilitating international human networks, the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure offers different fellowships to researchers and archivists across Europe in different partner institutions. The fellowships are intended to facilitate and encourage exchange of information, knowledge and research regarding the Holocaust as well as to provide our fellows with an interesting and pleasant experience in different institutions. Moreover, the fellowships are specifically aimed at researchers, archivists, curators, and younger scholars, especially PhD candidates with limited resources. The partners that offer a place to EHRI fellows are big institutions like the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Bundesarchiv and Yad Vashem, but also some small and medium-sized institutions offer fellowships.
EHRI’s newest consortium partner Kazerne Dossin is a unique place to remember the Holocaust in Belgium. Over 25,500 Jews, Roma and Sinti were imprisoned here, put onto trains and deported mainly to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Less than 5 percent survived. The museum has been built opposite the barracks to shine a new light on this symbolic place of remembrance.

Holocaust research is very important. Now more than ever. Facing and comprehending our shared history make people appreciate the importance of the European project. Every day thousands of researchers seek to get the full picture of this dark side of Europe’s recent past. These efforts need to be continued.
The EHRI Project (European Holocaust Research Infrastructure) offers short term fellowships to allow researchers, archivists and curators to access fifteen European, Israel and American archives, libraries and research institutions (in Amsterdam, Brussels, Prague, Munich, London, Jerusalem, Washington D.C., Berlin, Arolsen, Warsaw, Paris, Vienna, Bucharest, Milan and elsewhere). The fellowships are particularly designed to allow for increased transnational exchanges on research and archival questions and the methods of the Digital Humanities in the context of Holocaust research.
In this week of Holocaust Memorial Day or Holocaust Remembrance Day we are publishing a new EHRI Document Blog that analyses a May 1949 interview between a UN official and Polish Holocaust survivor Jakub Leipzig conducted at the Field Intake & Eligibility office in Milan.
