EHRI partner, the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies and the Department of Contemporary History at the University of Innsbruck are happy to announce the first EHRI-AT Conference on May 23-25, 2022.

The conference will be dedicated to Connected Histories. Memories and Narratives of the Holocaust in the Digitial Space. 

The Netherlands offers to host and co-fund the headquarters of the permanent European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI). Dutch incumbent Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations Kajsa Ollongren announced this yesterday in her pledge at the Malmö International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism.

On Tuesday 5 October 2021, the EU launched its first ever Strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life. 

EHRI has recently published a position paper that highlights its intrinsic importance to research on antisemitism and the fight against antisemitism.

EHRI is delighted that the EC duly acknowledges EHRI as an important pillar in the implementation of its strategy on antisemitism, and that it encourages member states to politically and financially support EHRI’s transition from a series of projects into a permanent European research organisation.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is a federally chartered, nonpartisan institution that was created by the US Congress to serve as America’s national memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and an educational institution dedicated to the history and lessons of the Holocaust. The Museum seeks to educate Americans from all 50 states and all walks of life as well as international audiences. The Museum has three areas of expertise: Holocaust remembrance, Holocaust scholarship and education, and genocide prevention.
