Susanne Kather

Since November 2021, I have been working as a research assistant in the research and digitization project „Digitales Archiv jüdischer Autorinnen und Autoren in Berlin 1933-1945“ (DAjAB). As a political scientist with a research focus on gender studies, especially with regard to gender relations under National Socialism, I enjoy working across disciplines. My diploma thesis „Nurses as perpetrators of the National Socialist murder of the sick. The portrayal of female Nazi perpetrators in the media coverage of the Munich ‚nurses trial‘“ was located at the interface of media, history and political science. Through my many years of work as a genealogist, I have extensive experience with researching people in the 20th century as well as with digitized sources and various database systems, which I am happy to bring to DAjAB.
