HUNGMEM

The bilingual website (German/English) “The Holocaust in Hungary and the Deportations to Northern Germany” presents the results of the EU-funded transnational research project “Digital Remembrance and Research Infrastructure – The Holocaust in Hungary 80 Years Later” (HUNGMEM). In various case studies and data visualizations, the website presents findings from the research on deportation routes and biographies collected as part of the project, with a regional focus on northern Germany. In addition to individual biographies of deportees, the focus is on different groups of prisoners, places of forced labour and deportation routes. These case studies are intended to show the close connection between the war economy and the Holocaust as well as the visibility of persecution. They also offer an approach to dealing with the many gaps and uncertainties in our historical knowledge that result from the fragmentary source material that has survived.
