EHRI Workshops
Call for Applications EHRI Workshop in Poland | Holocaust Places and Spaces as Data. Challenges and Best Practices
28-30 October, 2024 | Location: Center for Jewish Research, University of Łódź, Poland
With the growing interest in Holocaust geographies, researchers, projects and/or educators increasingly work and struggle with data representing the places and spaces of Holocaust history. We invite researchers creating and using geospatial data in the field of Holocaust studies to submit their application for the international EHRI workshop Holocaust Places and Spaces as Data: Challenges and Best Practices. The workshop aims to share experience and discuss practical challenges many projects working with spatial data encounter. At the same time, we want to reflect on broader heuristic, epistemological and ethical issues triggered by turning places into data.
The workshop is convened by the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CZ), the Wiener Holocaust Library (UK), the Polish Center for Holocaust Research in cooperation with the Center for Jewish Research, University of Łódź (PL).
Deadline for submissions: 31 July 2024

CALL EHRI-AT | Holocaust Literature and Ego Documents
December 11-12, 2023 | Location: University of Graz, Austria
A conference of the Center for Jewish Studies of Graz University in cooperation with the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies in the framework of EHRI-AT
Writing about the Holocaust has been shaped from the beginning by considerations of form, of the limits of language and the medium itself, and of the (im)possibilities of transmitting knowledge to future generations.
So what are we talking about when we talk about Holocaust literature? And how can we discuss and analyse literary texts as well as ego documents together?
Deadline for submissions: 15 July 2023 | THIS CALL IS CLOSED.
