EHRI Releases Massive Open Online Course

“It Must All be Recorded Without a Single Fact Left Out” - The Holocaust through the Perspective of Primary Sources

On the occasion of the 79th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and International Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27 January, the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) launches its first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) “‘It Must All be Recorded Without a Single Fact Left Out’ - The Holocaust through the Perspective of Primary Sources”, created by our EHRI-Partner Yad Vashem. The MOOC discusses the critical examination of the sources presented and provides methodological guidance as well as hands-on tools for their use. It features interviews with leading scholars and presents various primary sources - photographs, diaries, bureaucratic documents, letters, and testimonies - essential for Holocaust research.

Watch a short intro to the MOOC:

Beyond Horror and Shame: Legacies of the Holocaust for Faith Communities and the Future

April 9-11, 2024 | US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington D.C., US | Deadline for applications: 23 February 2024

What is the place of the Holocaust in the life of the people of faith and conscience in the 21st century? Does this event from over 75 years ago still have relevance for religious faith and practice?

On 14 December 2023, EHRI released the last episode of its second EHRI podcast season, Gita’s Notes for Survival. The publication of this sixth episode coincided with the seventh day of Hanukkah, when people of Jewish faith across the world light the seventh candle on the menorah. 

On 15 December, all eight candles of the menorah were lit, their flames symbolizing courage, strength and hope. This is also the essence of Gita’s story of survival and that of the Lithuanian ghettos, Vilnius and Kovno, who succeeded in preserving their rich cultural dynamics and heritage during the Holocaust. 

The Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies (VWI) invites applications for the position of a Project Coordinator at the earliest possible starting date. Application deadline: 7 January 2024.

Job Description

The Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies (VWI) is looking for a Project Coordinator to perform duties across the EHRI-IP project.

On 8 December 2023, head of the Belgian Study Centre War and Contemporary Society (CegeSoma/State Archives in Belgium) Nico Wouters presented the final report on the role of the Belgian Railway society (NMBS/SNCB) in deportations carried out during  WW2 in Belgium. The research was commissioned by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Mobility Georges Gilkinet and the Belgian Senate, and carried out between August 2022 and November 2023.

The research presents a broader war history of the Belgian National Railway Company to put the deportations in its historic context, but also to compensate for the problematic lack of archival sources. The report confirmed that the deportation trains were executed by the Belgian Railway Company.
