"An object from the Holocaust is not only a physical entity; it carries within the suffering of those who owned it beyond the historical events of that period of time. The questions of how the object was used, under what circumstances it was damaged or where it was hidden are a very important part of the story it has to tell." Dr. Haim Gertner, Director of the Yad Vashem Archives, and member EHRI Executive Team

The international EHRI workshop "Heritage and Memory" was held at EHRI partner Yad Vashem last September.

Member of EHRI Work Package 17 (Standards and Guidelines) and 19 (Data Integration Infrastructure)
Developer at DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services), the Netherlands

My first involvement with EHRI was on standards and guidelines, and how to translate those into a datamodel. The first step of getting used to the terminology took a while, because although I work at a digital archive (DANS), I had never set foot in an actual archive or spent time with a card catalogue.
