The Saul Kagan Fellowship in Advanced Shoah Studies

Each year, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany offers a limited number of fellowships for doctoral and postdoctoral (new!) candidates around the world pursuing Holocaust studies.

Through the Saul Kagan Fellowship in Advanced Shoah Studies, the Claims Conference supports Ph.D. and postdoctoral (new!) candidates pursuing advanced study of Jews who were systematically targeted for destruction or persecution by the Nazis and their allies between 1933 and 1945. Supported research can include: the immediate historical context in which the Shoah took place; political, economic, legal, religious or socio-cultural aspects; ethical and moral implications; or other related, relevant topics. Postdoctoral applicants who are researching contemporary anti-Semitism will also be considered and are encouraged to apply.

Kagan Fellowships are awarded to outstanding candidates around the world who exhibit strong personal commitment to Shoah memory, demonstrate excellence in academic achievement, and possess the potential to provide outstanding professional leadership that will shape the future of Holcoaust scholarship.

Ph.D. and postdoctoral fellows will receive a maximum of $20,000 per academic year
