We would like to invite you to a workshop about the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) at Le Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris on Monday 2 June, 2014. Le Mémorial de la Shoah is a partner of EHRI.

In March 2015, EHRI will introduce its main achievement: an online portal that gives access to dispersed sources relating to the Holocaust. Before this launch, the EHRI workshop at Le Mémorial de la Shoah will present the first results of the project to historians, researchers and the interested public in France. The workshop will give you a first insight and preview of the outcome of the project and how it will support Holocaust research.

Speakers include important members of the EHRI team, i.a. Conny Kristel, project director, and Renée Poznanski from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel.

See the programme: EHRI Workshop Paris

EHRI is funded by the European Union and was launched in November 2010. The project is dedicated to opening up collections related to Holocaust history within a web-based environment. EHRI helps researchers to overcome one of the major challenges facing Holocaust research: the fact that the research materials are dispersed across Europe. Supporting a network of Holocaust researchers is just as important to EHRI as creating a digital infrastructure. Therefore EHRI also organises summer schools, an online course in Holocaust studies, fellowships, expert meetings, conferences and workshops.

The workshop will be conducted in French and English.

Lunch and a tour of Mémorial de la Shoah are included.

Admission: Free but booking is essential as space is limited.
