K. Hannah Holtschneider

My PhD research grew out of a decade’s worth of studies in Christian-Jewish dialogue, Jewish Studies and Christian theology. The dissertation tackled the representation of the Holocaust in German Protestant theology since the 1980s and was published as German Protestants Remember the Holocaust. I have continued to publish in this area and have given a series of papers on related topics, notably on aspects of Jewish-Christian relations in contemporary Germany.

I have since expanded my research to include the representation of the Holocaust and Jewish history in popular culture and material culture. I am particularly interested in representations of the ‘other’ as these are manifested in cultural products such as academic texts, newspaper articles, films, novels, museums and memorials. The main context in which I am working is contemporary Germany.
