Herta Mohr lecture

The Netherland Institute for the Near East in cooperation with the National Museum of Antiquities inaugurates a new lecture series that will annually showcase and focus on early career contributions to Egyptology.

Herta Mohr

The series is named after Herta Mohr who, as a native Austrian, moved with her family to the Netherlands and studied Egyptology at Leiden University from 1937 onwards. She published a volume on the mastaba of Hetepherakhty in the National Museum of Antiquities. Together with her parents, Herta was deported and ultimately died at concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Records mention April 15th, 1945, the day that Bergen-Belsen was liberated, as the day of her death. With this lecture, we remember the 80th anniversary of her death.
