Am EHRI-UK
Mae Seilwaith Ymchwil yr Holocost Ewropeaidd (EHRI) yn seilwaith rhyngwladol sy’n sicrhau ymchwil,
coffâd ac addysg yr Holocost ar lefel draws-genedlaethol. EHRI-UK yw’r nod cenedlaethol sy’n cynrychioli’r
Deyrnas Unedig o fewn y consortiwm ymchwil rhyngwladol hwn.
Bydd EHRI-UK yn ceisio sicrhau cynaliadwyedd hirdymor ymchwil Holocost o fewn y DU a thu hwnt trwy:
- representing institutions within the UK (and Crown Dependencies) which contain materials related to Holocaust Studies to create a strong research consortium;
- connecting resources through a state-of-the-art digital infrastructure;
- developing innovative digital research tools;
- offering fellowships and training opportunities for researchers, archivists, and heritage professionals.
EHRI’s impact is primarily scientific, however, the infrastructure also advances a wider social and political agenda. The recent rise of antisemitism, xenophobia and aggressive nationalisms in Europe and beyond demonstrate that Holocaust research is never a purely academic concern, but a prerequisite for open and non-discriminatory societies across Europe and beyond.
