However, may you be interested in an informative summer, or in expanding your (historical) horizon, then we may have a few tips for you:

• Start with the first EHRI Massive Open Online Course (MOOC): “It Must All be Recorded Without a Single Fact Left Out” - The Holocaust through the Perspective of Primary Sources. In this new online video course produced by EHRI and Yad Vashem, you will explore diaries, photographs, official Nazi documents, postwar survivor testimonies and much more - all together with leading scholars in the field. You will become acquainted with original documents and gain hands-on experience in using them while learning about their importance, and the unique perspectives they provide us into this cataclysmic event. The MOOC  is hosted on the Coursera Platform and free of charge. Follow this link to find out more about the MOOC and start your first lesson today: EHRI MOOC
• Listen to an episode of the EHRI Podcast For the Living and the Dead. Traces of the Holocaust. 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 very personal story about the Holocaust. The first and second season of the EHRI podcast featured a teddy bear, sunflowers, a postcard, gramophone discs,  birch-bark tefilllin 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. The EHRI Podcast series contains 2 seasons and 12 episodes of around 30 minutes. A third season will be released in the autumn.
