Conny Kristel Fellowship, European Holocaust Research Infrastructure, Netherlands (2019)

EHRI announces a special call for the first Conny Kristel Fellowship. EHRI is offering a fellowship of three weeks at NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam to honour the memory and legacy of Dr. Conny Kristel, former EHRI project director and senior researcher at the NIOD, who sadly passed away on 6 October 2018.

As a historian, Dr Kristel was known for her publications about the history of the persecution of the Jews, and her work about the Netherlands during the First World War. The will to fathom the origins and consequences of war violence, persecution and victimhood formed the core of all her work. As project director of EHRI, she made a significant contribution to the internationalization and innovation of Holocaust research.

This first special call is the symbolic start to a new phase of the EHRI Fellowship programme that in honour of Dr Conny Kristel will grant Holocaust researchers, archivists and digital humanists comprehensive transnational access to key collections and centres of expertise across Europe and beyond. It marks EHRI’s commitment to continue and deepen the ground-breaking work Dr Kristel envisioned, encouraged and performed.

Practicalities of the fellowship
The first Conny Kristel Fellow will be offered three weeks of access to the impressive collections of the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide studies in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, including a stipend for housing and living expenses as well as travel to and from the institute.

The Fellowship is funded by the European Union under the rules of transnational access and is thus principally open to applicants working at institutions established in member (the EU-28) and associate states. By EU regulations, participation by Fellows working at institutions in third countries is limited to 20% of the total amount of units of access provided by EHRI. It is not possible to apply for the Conny Kristel Fellowship if one works in the Netherlands.

All application material can be sent as an email attachment in DOC or PDF format to ullrich@ifz-muenchen.de. Please send all application material at one time.
