Laure Guilbert is a visiting researcher at the Centre for the History of Emotion at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin, and a postdoctoral researcher at the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah in Paris. Her PhD at the European University Institute in Florence was published in Brussels in 2000 and 2011 (Danser avec le Troisième Reich. Les danseurs modernes sous le nazisme). Her second book project examines an overlooked aspect of the history of the ghettos and concentration camps of Nazi-ruled Europe: the use of dance in the genocidal strategies of the Nazis and their collaborators, and its role in the struggle for survival of the Jewish and non-Jewish victims.
