Lauren Crawford

Lauren Crawford is a third-year PhD student in Modern Europe History at Yale. Her dissertation concerns what institutionalization of Holocaust commemoration/memory (both at a German federal level and at the level of institutions of international governance such as the EU/UN) has meant for discourses on racism in Europe, specifically Germany, from the late 1970s onward. Prior to her PhD, she taught English for a year in Zwickau, Germany and worked as an Educator at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, a social and cultural immigration history museum in New York.
