One of my areas of interest is integration of immigrants and their descendants into western European societies during the modern era. On this subject, I have published two books in English about changes in attitudes to immigrants in Britain between 1841 and 2021, notably the language used to put these feelings into words. In these studies I apply a linguistic historical approach to throw new light on past events and developments.
I’m also interested in the subject of Jewish resistance to the Holocaust. My latest English book is an academic case study on individuals and small groups in Jewish resistance in the Netherlands. My latest Dutch book provides a general review of this subject based on personal portraits.
My work has been acknowledged through an appointment as Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Humanities of the University of Glasgow. I’m also a member of the forum Jews Saving Jews at the Faculty of Jewish Studies of Bar-Ilan University.
