After succesfull editions in 2013 at Munich and Paris, today the third EHRI Summer School in Holocaust Studies begins in Jerusalem. EHRI partner Yad Vashem is the organiser of the three week event.

Between April 7 and mid-July 1994, close to one million individuals were assassinated in Rwanda: in less than three months, three quarters of the Tutsi population perished during this genocide.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, several EHRI partners organise special events.

Robert-Jan Smits is the Director-General of the European Commission's (EC) Directorate-General for Research and Innovation. He is responsible for the EC's Framework Programme 7 (FP7) that funds the EHRI project, and for FP7's successor programme, Horizon 2020. He is a long-standing supporter of EHRI and has kindly agreed to be interviewed for the EHRI Newsletter.

Harrie Teunissen, a Dutch collector and curator of maps, searched and found hundreds of contemporary maps related to the Holocaust. He argues that maps are not mere illustration material, but historical sources in their own right. He investigates these maps and will curate an exhibition at the Riga Ghetto and Latvian Holocaust Museum, called East of Auschwitz, Mapping the Holocaust in East Central Europe. Harrie participated in the EHRI expert meeting on Geography and Holocaust Research and will lecture at the EHRI Summer School in Amsterdam in July of this year. Although an 'amateur', he is a forerunner in the upcoming field of contemporary map research.
