Focus

Hartmann is particularly concerned with multi-perspective and transnational approaches to conveying the history of the Holocaust. In this context, the integration of Jewish perspectives as well as the critical inclusion of perpetrator perspectives are of particular importance. In addition, her work and research focus on European, German, Austrian and Israeli culture of remembrance, the history of anti-Semitism and approaches to anti-Semitic educational work, Jewish positions on the Holocaust (including Jean Améry , Hannah Arendt and Theodor W. Adorno ), and the development of age-specific approaches to mediation of the Holocaust. Hartmann has published the results of her educational and scientific work in several articles in specialist journals and edited volumes.
