The Gathering the Voices Association launches the serious and educational computer game Marion’s Journey on Wednesday 30th August, 4:00 PM CET on Zoom. The educational online experience follows the flight of Marion Camrass during the Second World War from occupied Poland, through Siberia, then Bukhara and finally to Glasgow, where she settled, married and raised her family.

This new Document Blogpost, by Rachel Perry, presents Elżbieta Nadel’s recently discovered early post-war graphic work The Black Album. It describes the research information on the provenance, technique, and composition of the work.

In addition, a comparison of the album and its drawings with an earlier album, Images from Home (made in Lviv, 1942), by the same artist allows for an analysis of the Black Album’s tone, style, content, voice, and point of view. The post follows the album’s bending to the pressures of its time and its function after the war.

On May 4-5, 2023, EHRI organised two workshops that were hosted by the Wiener Holocaust Library (WHL) in London, UK. The first day focused on the work of the Work Package (EHRI-3 WP11) that is tasked with engaging and supporting micro-archives, while the second day was a special EHRI-UK workshop, run through EHRI-PP (Preparatory Phase).

A third workshop took place on 15-17 May, when EHRI-UK teamed up with CLARIN - the research infrastructure for language as social and cultural data - for a combined EHRI-CLARIN workshop "Using Holocaust Testimonies as Research Data".
