Research funding under the EU’s framework programmes is geared to the construction of a competitive, inclusive and sustainable society. Meeting this ambitious objective for Europe will require vision, ingenuity and dedication. And it will<br/>also require a thorough understanding of our past. By integrating currently fragmented archives online and streamlining the access to these information resources, the EHRI project aims to facilitate research into one of the most traumatic<br/>aspects of Europe’s shared history: the Holocaust.
