Alisa Gadas

I study history and cultural anthropology in Berlin. Working in Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum and in projects teaching about the former GDR, I mainly focus on history didactics, remembrance cultures and oral history in my studies. Currently my fields of research are the remembrance of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union and history politics of right-wing parties.

 

Anne-Christine Mertens

Since 2014 I am an history and cultural studies student at Humboldt University Berlin. My main research is on Holocaust remembrance culture and on gender aspects. Before moving to Berlin, I spend a year in Israel as a volunteer and working with AMCHA, my israeli employer. In the context of this work, I visited Holocaust Survivors  at their homes to  spend some precious time together. As preparation, I participated in a work camp in Stutthoff, focussing on Jewish life after the Holocaust. Now I am offering the tutorial at university and work again with AMCHA in Berlin.

 

Maren Francke

Currently I study in the Master programme Modern European History at Humboldt University Berlin. There I focus on Hungarian history and remembrance culture and Holocaust history, which also helped me to write my Bachelor thesis about Holocaust representations in Hungarian history textbooks in 2015. I work as a student assistent at the Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam and in Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum.
