I am a cultural historian of Central and East Central Europe with a focus on memory studies, fascism studies, Holocaust research, and Jewish history. I work as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Collective Violence, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, University College London, and as Project Lead on Interpreting Perpetrator Voices.

Currently, I work with Final Account: Third Reich Testimonies, a unique oral history collection, combining research with public history projects, and writing a book, tentatively titled Spaces of the Third Reich: Ordinary Germans Remember. 

In my work, I practice memory studies as historical research by exploring how societies remembered in the past - and how do we, in the present, as historical beings.

I have been engaged in the study of memory since I started working on my book Agents of Liberation. Holocaust Memory in Contemporary Art and Documentary Film. My more recent work, Memory in Hungarian Fascism: A Cultural History traces historically how memory practices contributed to the emergence and reemergence of fascist currents.

Born in Budapest, I have worked internationally in Hungary, Germany, the United States before coming to the United Kingdom, and on shorter stays in Austria, Israel, and Argentina. This trajectory shaped how I write and do research.  

As a scholar dedicated to research and public history, I work with diverse audiences in a variety of settings, from public talks and podcasts to workshops and writing engagements.
