EHRI Podcast
A third season of the EHRI Podcast For the Living and the Dead: Traces of the Holocaust was launched on Thursday October 3, 2024. Between October and December 2024, we released six episodes focused on objects found in micro-archives, following on from the work EHRI has done over the last 4 years in looking for Micro-Archives.

From a series of projects, EHRI has changed into an ERIC, a European Research Infrastructure Consortium, and an organisation with a permanent character. Thus, EHRI will grow and even more institutions can join.
