Charlotte Kiechel is the 2021-2022 USC Shoah Foundation Robert J. Katz Research Fellow in Genocide Studies. At the time of her fellowship, she was a PhD candidate in Global History at Yale University. She is now a visiting assistant professor in the history department of Williams College. She earned her doctoral degree in history from Yale University. Her research and scholarship have been supported by institutions such as DAAD, the Max Kade Foundation, la Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Her first book project, The Politics of Comparison: Holocaust Memory and Visions of Third World Suffering, 1957-1970, is a global history of Holocaust memory and the European New Left. Based on sixteenth months of archival research, it is the first monograph to show how references to the Jewish genocide shaped European leftists’ understandings of – and political engagements for – the peoples and nation-states of the Third World.
