Meet #Badger Cindy Barbosa, who spent six weeks this summer interning for Justus Liebig University (JLU) in Giessen, Germany. 🇩🇪
Working in the only Holocaust literature research center in Germany, Arbeitsstelle Holocaustliteratur (AHL), Cindy has the important task of preserving Holocaust literature and ensuring this history is not ignored or forgotten.
As a communications major, Cindy shared her realizations about the impacts of language used surrounding this subject: "It`s fascinating to see how they talk about history and the Holocaust here. All conversations revolve around the Schuldfrage, the question of guilt. The perspective is very much about guilt and responsibility, something I haven`t experienced much in American education."
Go to our link in bio to read more about Cindy`s valuable experiences on this international internship! This article was written by fellow #Badger, David Shinbein.
