I work on the history of modern Europe, specifically modern Germany and Eastern Europe, with an emphasis on the Holocaust and Jewish history in a transnational dimension.
My PhD and subsequent research focuses on the coerced ghetto communities established by the Germans during WW II. In my doctoral project I examined concepts of criminality and law formulated by the Jewish Councils in the ghettos of Warsaw, Lodz and Vilna. My resulting first book was published in September 2015 by Hamburger Edition. It came out as a revised and updated English translation with University of Toronto Press in 2021.
