Alexander Weidle, M.Ed., is a research associate for science communication at the Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO) and is working on a dissertation project about the community-building practices of the ‘Bukovina Germans.’ Previously, he worked at the Leibniz Institute for Jewish History and Culture – Simon Dubnow on an educational project. His research interests include cultures of remembrance and oral history, as well as the history of (forced) migration in the modern era, particularly ‘flight and expulsion.’ In his master’s thesis, “Two of 10,000” (2018), Weidle explored the historiography of the ‘Kindertransporte’ using the example of the Farnbach twins.
