The project ”The Holocaust, European Values and Local History: Local Archives in the European Historical and Cultural Mosaic” is run by the Archives of Vojvodina and Terraforming in cooperation with a coalition of local archives and other partners from Serbia, as well as international partnering institutions. After the digital kick off event when we launched the project back in April 2020, we continued to work. On June 15, 2020 we hosted the first online workshop in the series.

It was an opportunity to learn more about current practices and experiences in engaging archival records in public outreach programs in the fields of commemoration and education about the Holocaust in Austria and the Netherlands. In addition we could learn more about the history and significance of the Bishop’s Library in Pakrac.

This workshop was intended primarily for archivists, but also for other professionals in the field of research, education and commemoration of the Holocaust, as well as the history of the Second World War in general. There were 21 participants, mostly from Serbia, but also from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, too.

The workshop was held in English, via Google Meet platform.
