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.

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.

Holocaust Research Using Digital Tools

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.
