I am a historian of the Holocaust, with a passion for and commitment to public history, archives, and cultural heritage. I work as Acting Co-Director (Research & Collections) of The Wiener Holocaust Library, London, where I co-lead the organisation through a time of transition, providing strategic vision and governance. I also oversee our academic programming and research initiatives, curate exhibitions, and develop research partnerships. I am also the Deputy National Coordinator for EHRI-UK, the UK national node of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure.

My own research has focused on postwar tracing and documentation efforts, gender, migration, archives creation, the concentration camp system in Nazi Germany, and comparative studies of collaboration, rescue and resistance in France and Hungary. I’m currently writing a social history and archival biography of a collection of survivor accounts recorded by the Library and led by Eva Reichmann in the 1950s.

I have many years of experience teaching, curating and consulting on exhibitions and other initiatives, as well as project management. Since completing my PhD at Clark University in 2003, I have worked as an adjunct  online  lecturer at Gratz College and  the University of Maryland Global Campus. I have also  previously worked for the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC on the Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, and as Director of Education for the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous in New York.

My recent publications include “Eva G. Reichmann and Holocaust Scholarship" in Eastern European Holocaust Studies, “From the Umschlagplatz to The Wiener Holocaust Library: Maria and Maximilian Wortmann’s Last Letters” in MAVCOR, and “Gender and the Materiality of Witnessing: The Wiener Library and Postwar Holocaust Knowledge” in a special issue of History of Intellectual Culture (HIC), co-edited with Victoria Van Orden Martínez and Ewa Koźmińska-Frejlak).
