Welcome Lida Dodou, Fortunoff Fellow
Please join us in welcoming Lida Dodou, as a Fortunoff Fellow, thanks to funding from the Claims Conference.
Dodou is a historian who specializes on Salonika's Jews during the 19th and 20th centuries. She has also worked as an educator and editor and she has collaborated with cultural institutions. Her research focuses on eras of transition and the impact on Jewish Salonika. Various fellowships have taken her across Europe, and she has worked and published on a variety of subjects, from early 19th century Salonikan Jewish business networks, to Jewish migration from Salonika to the Habsburg Empire and its successor states and antisemitism as a decision-making factor.
As Fortunoff Fellow, Dodou will produce an annotated critical edition of a testimony for our Critical Edition Series as part of our Claims Conference Grant Unlocking Survivor Testimony: A Program to Produce Critical Annotated Editions of Non-English Holocaust Testimonies.
