The student will be asked to read and translate already discovered archival documents--primarily unpublished memoirs and letters addressed to family members and friends that German Jewish refugees during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Though there will be some line by line translation, other documents require a summary. If the student is interested, I would like to co-author an article using these sources.
