Adjunct Research This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.Research fields:
Magdalena Neumueller is the new Adjungt Researcher at the HCGES. She will stay at the center to conduct research for her PhD thesis until the end of 2018. Magdalena is from Austria and a PhD-Candidate in History at the University of Vienna, where she finished a Diplomstudium (equivalent to an MA program) in political science. Additionally, she was involved in a variety of Holocaust Education projects. The topic of her dissertation is the Austrian Federal Railways and its involvement in Nazi Policy and Nazi Crimes. Her study focuses on a unique archive that has never been researched and which contains an unknown holding of documents produced by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the German Federal Railways. She was the first scholar to categorize these materials and to analyze their content. Magdalena’s thesis deals with various aspects of the Austrian railway’s history, specifically deportations to concentration and extermination camps, forced labor, the war and occupation policy as well as the railway’s general role in the Nazi State. The HCGES will provide her with an academic base to conduct concluding research in the archives of Yad Vashem and the Ghetto Fighters House as well as a platform for exchange with colleagues and students.
