For Holocaust Remembrance Day: Listen to the EHRI Podcast "For the Living and the Dead"

25/01/2023

To commemorate the victims of the Holocaust, you could listen to one of the six episodes of the EHRI podcast series For the Living and the Dead. Traces of the Holocaust. They all tell a very personal story of a Holocaust victim, while a researcher gives a wider perspective.

In each episode of For the Living and the Dead, a Holocaust researcher talks about an object, now often in a museum or archive, that tells a personal story about the Holocaust. The first season of the EHRI podcast features a teddy bear, mica-flakes, a postcard, gramophone discs, a magazine cover and a typewriter. The unique stories come from all over Europe – the Holocaust being a continent-wide phenomenon – ranging from Belgium to Ukraine, from Romania to Italy.

Workshop EHRI-PP GPM

EHRI-PP General Partner Meeting in Brussels | “EHRI Is a Complex Building”

21/12/2022

On 13 and 14 December, all partners of EHRI-PP met for their semi-annual General Partner Meeting at the Belgian State Archives/CegeSoma in Brussels, the partner who had generously offered to host the event. EHRI-PP (European Holocaust Research Infrastructure – Preparatory Phase) is the EHRI-project concerned with preparing the research infrastructure for a permanent status in 2025, thereby securing the future of trans-national Holocaust research.

At this moment, many steps in terms of legal and financial work and developing research, user and technical strategies have already been taken. In May 2023, EHRI-PP will end and we can enter the implementation phase (IP). This will take us to the permanent status in the form of an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) in 2025.
