Description
The Bella and Murray Ressler Digital Humanities Fellowship supports the use of digital techniques and technologies in Holocaust research and teaching. It is administered by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies and William Levine Family Institute for Holocaust Education. The program seeks to expand digital humanities capacity across the Museum and the field of Holocaust and Genocide studies.
Fellows develop and conduct independent research projects under a Museum mentor’s supervision, interact with Museum staff and visiting scholars, and audit special summer seminars and research workshops addressing challenging questions in Holocaust scholarship. Activities take place at the Museum’s Washington, DC locations and the David and Fela Shapell Family Collections, Conservation, and Research Center in suburban Maryland.
