Allison Somogyi chosen as Fortunoff/USC Postdoctoral Fellow

By Stephen Naron - August 27, 2019

The Fortunoff Video Archive is pleased to announce that Allison Somogyi has been chosen as the Fortunoff-USC Joint Postdoctoral Fellow.
Allison received her PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her dissertation analyzed the survival and resistance tactics employed by young Jewish women in Budapest under Arrow Cross rule and German occupation, and traced, through their diaries, how they navigated the fraught space available to them in the chaotic months of the occupation and during the siege of Budapest. Her work as a Yale-USC Postdoctoral Research Fellow builds off her dissertation research by exploring the differences in the ways Hungarian-Jewish women discussed sexual violence at the time of the Final Solution and throughout its aftermath. She will also focus on the ways which survivor testimonies that touch upon sexual violence might vary in response to different interviewing processes and methodologies of the Fortunoff Video Archive and the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive.
Please join us in welcoming Allison to the Fortunoff Video Archive.
