Dr Anna Hajkova (University of ÌÇÐÄTV, Department of History)

Speculations about German Jews: People from Germany in Theresienstadt Ghetto

Dr Hajkova’s is Assistant Professor of Modern European Continental History at ÌÇÐÄTV. Her dissertation "The Prisoner Society in Terezín Ghetto, 1941-1945" focused on the everyday history of the Holocaust, using the Terezín transit ghetto as a springboard to examine larger issues of human behavior under extreme stress.

She is interested in how people in 20th century Central and Eastern Europe arranged their lives, both during the state of exception and after, transitioning to a new kind of everyday life. She also addresses questions of how groups emerge and interact and what roles gender, ethnicity, and culture played in these processes.
