The ESHEM Network is being built to connect historical Holocaust sites across Europe and their custodians. These include former ghettos, concentration camps, killing centres and other killing sites, transit points, and places of resistance, hiding, and rescue - both commemorated and uncommemorated, each holding part of a shared European history.
An open call for membership will be announced in February 2026. Candidates that meet the eligibility criteria will be invited to apply to join the network. The ESHEM Steering Committee will select the first 25 members throughout 2026. The network will continue to grow in the following years, welcoming additional sites to join ESHEM.
More information about the application process, eligibility and membership criteria will be shared in February 2026.
