European Holocaust Research Infrastructure
Establishing an Israeli National Holocaust Research Infrastructure
The landscape of Holocaust-related centers in Israel is rich and diverse, featuring a range of memorials, museums, and educational institutions dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust, conducting research and teaching, educating future generations, and honoring the victims and survivors through exhibits, archival documentation, and remembrance activity. EHRI-Israel is working towards locating and linking source material in Israel, and to ease scholarly research. The representing entity for EHRI-Israel is Israel’s Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology.
