Christoph is seeking former refugees or their families who might be willing to share their story.
Lena Christoph is a PhD student at the University of Vienna, with a focus on displaced persons after WWII who transited through the Philippines.
She is currently visiting Australia for a two-month research trip in Sydney and Melbourne.
Christoph is seeking former refugees or their families who might be willing to share their story.
Her research includes Jewish Holocaust refugees and Russians who fled communism in Russia and China.
“I aim to incorporate as many personal accounts as possible into my thesis,” she explained.
“Earlier this year, I was fortunate to connect with survivors in the United States and interviewed them.”
She has reached out to several institutions while in Australia and conducted some research but has not made any direct connections with anyone to date.
For any members of the community, or their descendants, who fled to the Philippines and later resettled in Australia and who are willing to tell their story please email Lena Christoph at lena.christoph@univie.ac.at
