European Project EHRI European Holocaust Research Infrastructure - EHRI

The EHRI project brings together an international consortium of archives, libraries, museums, memory and research institutions.

The overarching goal of the EHRI project is to support Holocaust research communities by opening an online portal that provides access to information on Holocaust archives and collections in Europe and beyond.

The scholarships – offered by a call for applications that will be launched every nine months – are open to researchers of all nationalities (doctoral and post-doctoral students, archivists, librarians and documentalists), in order to support projects opening new fields of knowledge on the Shoah and allowing a comparative and transnational approach.
A particular emphasis is placed on projects originating from researchers from Eastern European countries.
Deadline for submission of dossiers (to be drafted in English only) for the first session: 30 September 2015

EHRI 2 (European Holocaust Research Infrastructure): Call for applications for research grants

The European Infrastructure for Holocaust Research (EHRI), whose main objective is to support and relaunch research on the persecution and genocide of the Jews, offers numerous grants to researchers who wish to access archives and collections of the highest importance on this subject.

The Shoah Memorial is one of the 15 partner institutions of the EHRI network that will provide 418 weeks of research stay during the period 2016-2018.

The scholarships – offered by a call for applications that will be launched every nine months – are open to researchers of all nationalities (doctoral and post-doctoral students, archivists, librarians and documentalists), in order to support projects opening new fields of knowledge on the Shoah and allowing a comparative and transnational approach.

Berlin, 26 March 2015: Closing symposium

Twenty institutions from thirteen countries associated to develop a European project that aims to relaunch studies on the Holocaust by creating a virtual research infrastructure.

On 26 March 2015, at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin and Brandenburg, the European project EHRI Europen Holocaust Infrastructure, which began in 2010 and whose Shoah Memorial is one of the partners, will enter its final stretch.

A closing symposium, organized in the presence of the Ministers of Education from Germany, Poland and the Netherlands, representatives of the European Commission and the academic world, will be the opportunity to present to the community of researchers and also to the general public the results acquired by the quadrennial work of the 20 partner institutions of the EHRI consortium in the different fields of actions. This large-scale event will be particularly marked by the launch of a digital research portal that will offer online access to scattered documents dealing with the persecution of Jews. Through the creation of this digital infrastructure, which has seen the active involvement of the Shoah Memorial, descriptions of the archival collections belonging to more than 1,800 institutions around the world will be made available, in the hope of contributing to stimulate and support research on the Shoah.

The ambition is enormous: to relaunch research by stimulating new studies on unknown aspects of the genocide of the Jews and to succeed in developing a transnational history of the Shoah that still partly remains to be written.

European EHRI workshop: from the dispersion and fragmentation of resources to the constitution of an integrated European research infrastructure on the Holocaust.

Monday, June 2, 2014.
This workshop is part of a larger project named EHRI European Holocaust Research Infrastructure which was launched in November 2010 in Brussels thanks to the financial contribution of the European Union. EHRI’s main goal is to support the Holocaust research community. Involved on several levels, the Shoah Memorial organizes this workshop on June 2, 2014, to present the project and the possibilities it offers to researchers. The Shoah Memorial organized as part of this program, Monday, June 2, 2014, a day of presentation and dissemination of the results to the French scientific community.
Hosted by the project’s main activities managers, this day was an opportunity to share the initiatives of the EHRI team with the subject specialists (researchers, university professors, archivists, PhD students) and to discover all the opportunities that EHRI represents in terms of research support.
