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.

EHRI’s newest consortium partner Kazerne Dossin is a unique place to remember the Holocaust in Belgium. Over 25,500 Jews, Roma and Sinti were imprisoned here, put onto trains and deported mainly to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Less than 5 percent survived. The museum has been built opposite the barracks to shine a new light on this symbolic place of remembrance. Kazerne Dossin explores one of the darkest pages in Belgium’s history, while also examining human rights in their contemporary context.

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.
