Biography
After having graduated with a first-class B.A. degree in Political Science and History from Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena (Germany), I studied for a Master of International Laws at Nottingham University. After successful completion, I successfully studied for an M.Phil in Modern European History at St Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge.
My project aims to answer the question why reunited Germany relied on legal prosecution of those who shot down border fugitives as opposed to exploring the possibilities of reconciliatio and how this has shaped reunited German identity.
