Abstract

Digital methods and tools for the humanities also change historical research into the Holocaust. The European funded Holocaust project EHRI has developed various digital tools and methods that facilitate Holocaust research. This paper will describe a number of them and discuss how they affect scholarship into the annihilation of European Jews.

Funding

EHRI has been founded in 2010 to support the Holocaust research community by building a digital infrastructure and facilitating human networks. More than twenty organisations working on Holocaust studies -– research institutions, libraries, archives, museums, and memorial sites — from Europe, Israel, and the United States form a core working group that is leading the project, which is funded and supported by the European Union. Survivors of the Holocaust to testify are dwindling in number and soon the time will come when we will be without anyone who can speak directly from experience about these critical events. The resources and tools that EHRI has developed and continues to do so will play a vital role in the future of Holocaust research, commemoration, and education.
