Visiting Fellows at the IfZ

The Institute hosts guest researchers from Germany and abroad on a regular basis. Researchers come to make use of the Institute’s renowned infrastructure and to discuss their projects. In addition to the fellowships of the Berlin Center for Cold War Studies as well as the fellowships of the Center for Holocaust Studies at the IfZ and the EHRI fellowships, a DAAD fellowship enables researchers to spend time at the IfZ with the support of the Leibniz Association. Since 2019, the institute welcomes historians from the University of Cambridge who visit for four weeks as part of the bilateral fellowship program with the DAAD Cambridge Research Hub for German Studies. The Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History also grants a one-year research fellowship, which is based at the Historisches Kolleg in Munich. More information can be found at the Historisches Kolleg website.

Professor Roni Stauber lectures in the Department of Jewish History at Tel Aviv University, where he also serves as the Director of the Goldstein-Goren Diaspora Research Center and heads the university's Diploma Program in Archival and Information Science. Additionally, he is a member of Yad Vashem's academic committee.

Prof. Stauber's research primarily focuses on various aspects of Holocaust memory and the development of Holocaust consciousness both in Israel and globally. In particular, he explores the relationships between politics, memory, and diplomacy. In recent years, his studies have concentrated on the initial relations between Israel and Germany, viewed through the perspectives of Israeli leaders and diplomats.

Among the books he has written and edited are: *Lessons for This Generation* (Jerusalem, 2000), which won the Ish-Shalom Award for best academic book in the field of Israeli History; *The Holocaust in Israeli Public Debate in the 1950s: Ideology and Memory* (London/Portland, OR, 2007); *Laying the Foundations for Holocaust Research: The Impact of Philip Friedman* (Jerusalem, 2009); *The Roma – A Minority in Europe: Historical, Political, and Social Perspectives* (New York, 2007); and *Collaboration with the Nazis: Public Discourse after the Holocaust* (London, 2010). His latest book, *Diplomacy in the Shadow of Memory: Israel and West Germany, 1953–1965*, was recently published by Yad Vashem and the Zalman Shazar Center.
