Online Compendium on German-Greek Entanglements
The Center for Modern Greece (CeMoG) compiles an “Online Compendium on German-Greek Entanglements” (ComDeG). The ComDeG is a scholarly publication platform for peer-reviewed scholarly contributions that focus on the political, economic, scientific and cultural transfer processes between the German and Greek cultural spaces, from the 18th century onwards. The online platform gives host to general biographic data, information about transfer fields (e.g. politics, science and literature), modes of mediation (e.g. translation, adaptation and teaching), network (associated participants/fields of action) with relevant bibliographical entries. The Essays and Articles of the Compendium present the ongoing scholarly output that builds creatively upon these information mappings.

Biographical Handbook: Fatalities of the border regimes at the Iron Curtain
The Forschungsverbund SED-Staat and the Center for Digital Systems / University Library at Freie Universität Berlin are creating a biographical handbook on victims of the Iron Curtain. Currently, the digital handbook recalls nearly 300 victims at the inner-German border. Until 2022, the fatally failed escapes of GDR citizens across the Baltic Sea and the Eastern Bloc states will be gradually documented, too. A selection of biographies will be also accompanied by clips of narrative interviews with relatives of the victims or other people involved in the events. All biographies are searchable through various filter categories, a map, a timeline, or a full-text search.
