An International Conference and Workshop

25-27 March 2014, Akko, Israel

Call for Papers

The Holocaust Studies Program of Western Galilee College, Yad Vashem and the Ghetto Fighters House announce a third international interdisciplinary conference and workshop on The Future of Holocaust Testimonies to be held on 25-27 March 2013 in Akko.

On August 22, 2013, Conny Kristel, Project Director of EHRI, gives a presentation about the EHRI project as part of the course 'Introduction to Holocaust and Genocide Studies' of the Helsinki Summer School. She will speak about what EHRI entails and explain how Holocaust researchers will greatly benefit from this project.

EHRI (European Holocaust Research Infrastructure) invites applications for its fellowship programme for 2014.

EHRI will grant up to 18 fellowships in Holocaust Studies to researchers and young scholars in 2014. An EHRI fellowship means that you can perform your research for four weeks, full expenses paid, at one of five EHRI partner institutions: Jewish Museum Prague, Yad Vashem, Institute for Contemporary History Munich, Shoah Memorial Paris, or NIOD Amsterdam. You can apply now!

Organized by the Institut für Zeitgeschichte, the second EHRI Summer School has started on July 22 in Munich under favourable circumstances. The first two weeks of the course take place at the Akademie für Politische Bildung Tutzing, an independent institution that conducts – partially in cooperation with other partners – courses, seminars, conferences and workshops on their premises in Tutzing at Lake Starnberg. It may not always be easy to focus on the Holocaust with such a sunny view of the beautiful lake, but the impressive programme will assure the attention of all the participants.
