Maria Babińska

PhD candidate

Zainteresowania

In my research work, I mainly deal with issues related to the perception of history, in particular Polish-Jewish relations during the Second World War. I am investigating the ambiguity of the concept of a witness to the Holocaust as well as the sources and psychological consequences of this ambiguity. I am also interested in conspiracy theories related to the political world.
