We are very pleased to announce that EHRI will be welcoming 2013 with a brand new website. Now that the project is halfway through, we thought the website needed a more informative and attractive design that was better suited to the current content.

HL-senteret is probably the youngest institution among the EHRI affiliates. The creation of the center was a result of a year-long process involving the restitution of property and assets confiscated from the Norwegian Jews during the Second World War.

On the occasion the 71st anniversary of the founding of the Terezín Ghetto, the Jewish Museum in Prague, an EHRI partner, is publishing on-line it’s Terezín collection. The documents are published on a newly created online catalogue for the Jewish Museum’s collections. The URL is: http://collections.jewishmuseum.cz/.
