One of the most important outcomes of the EHRI project will be an online portal offering researchers and the interested public access to in-depth information on Holocaust related archives and documentation. The EHRI portal is the culmination of much of the research undertaken in EHRI, and after almost four years of intense work, it is now in the final stages of development. Reto Speck (KCL and NIOD) is co-ordinating the development of the EHRI portal; here he provides an overview of its aims and progress.

In the second week of the EHRI Summer School Amsterdam, Dr. Wendy Lower gave a lecture to the twelve trainees on "German Women and the Holocaust". She also joined them for an excursion and stayed to listen to the trainees’ presentations about their own research.

Dr. Wendy Lower is the John K. Roth Professor of History at Claremont McKenna College, USA and director of the Center for Human Rights at the Claremont Colleges. Lower’s latest book Hitler’s Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields, was a finalist for the U.S. National Book Award and has been translated into many languages.
