A platform for Holocaust research in the Netherlands
The material legacy of the Second World War in the Netherlands is numerous (think of camps, archive and places of memory). Researchers affiliated with universities and research centers take care of this heritage every day while also trying to come to a better understanding of this past through both traditional and digital methods. EHRI-NL is looking for ways to bring these two worlds closer together and encourages collaboration within and between areas of expertise within a national, digital Holocaust research infrastructure.

The online edition “Diplomatic Reports” focuses on how diplomatic staff reported the persecution and murder of European Jews during World War II.
EHRI Geospatial Repository provides access to datasets that make it possible to create maps on the subject of the Holocaust and analyse it through spatial approaches.
In each episode of For the Living and the Dead, a Holocaust researcher talks about an object that tells a very personal story about the Holocaust.
In this online video course The Holocaust through the Perspective of Primary Sources, produced by EHRI, you will explore diaries, photographs, official Nazi documents, postwar survivor testimonies and much more; all together with leading scholars. You will become acquainted with original documents and gain hands-on experience in using them while learning about their importance, and the unique perspectives they provide us into this cataclysmic event.
