EHRI is a multinational consortium aiming to develop a sustainable, state-of-the-art research infrastructure for European Holocaust research, while working to integrate and link up the repositories and expertise of archives, libraries, museums, memorials, and research institutions holding Holocaust-related sources. EHRI is implemented at the international level through several Horizon 2020 projects and in Austria at the national level through EHRI-AT, a third project funded by the BMBWF (The Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research).
