About the author
Christiane Weber, MA, was born in 1984 and studied History, German Literature and British and American Literature and Culture at the University of Giessen/Germany. After ten years at the Arbeitsstelle Holocaustliteratur – a research unit at the University of Giessen focusing on fictional and non-fictional literature about the Holocaust – she is now working for the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen. There she develops an online guide and a finding aid that will help to contextualize documents on the Holocaust, on forced labor and the lives of Displaced Persons after the Second World War.
